Wordless Wednesday....Year in Review

I love doing these posts and reflecting back on the pictures that made this year!  I hope you enjoy it too!!  This has been an amazing year filled with family, friends, and finish lines!  I've connected to so many amazing people and products while experiencing so much!  Life has been full this year and I am so excited to see what 2015 brings!

2012 in Pictures

My resolution this year was to enjoy every blessing....little did I know just how many blessings there would be this year!!!  Looking back over these pictures was motivating for me...proof that I was skinny once and will get this baby weight will be gone!! 

I started the year with a bang running with my BRF Jill in tutus!!

Downtown Jingle 5k Recap in Pictures

 

Ahhh race report....it feels great to be writing about racing again!!!  Sunday my sister, nieces, Emma and I ran in the Downtown Jingle 5k in Providence, RI.  Our nieces were running their second 5k and I was pushing Em for my first race back!!  I partnered up with Maya, who did fabulous by the way, while my sister took Olivia, who also did awesome!  The race was really well organized and a ton of fun!!  We made matching tutus, which might I add took a lot of courage to wear just 7 weeks post baby!  I also got to meet up with Samantha from Running and Cupcakes! It was a great time and felt awesome to be back on the scene again!!

#HBBC2012 Kickoff

Yesterday was the first day of the HBBC 2012!  This challenge couldn't come at a better time for me now that I am beginning to be able to work out more!  It is a fine line for me though since I do not want to do too much too soon and set myself back with an injury.  I headed out to the grocery store with a plan in mind...load up on veggies and fruits!  I planned meals this week with veggies in mind first and worked everything else around them....salads, smoothies, stir fries, and veggies galore! 

During this challenge I also want to not only get my own workouts in but also plan extra fitness that involves my family!  As the fall starts to fade into winter, our chances to get outside become less and less (unless we have another winter like last which I would love!).  Yesterday we bundled up, I stuck Aubrey in the Bjorn inside my jacket, and off we went on a walk/bike ride.  The fresh air was just what we needed (Aubrey slept almost the whole night!) and I was happy to get Em outside and moving!

Are you in the HBBC 2012?  How did your first day go?
