The Proverbial Wagon

So I'm back on the wagon on several fronts...exercise, soda, time management, blogging (cough, cough). Okay, so I have never been good about blogging, but who knows, one of these days it might stick. So let's see, a brief catch up from the last post 13 months ago.

I have been on and off soda all year, and am currently off with no intentions of starting back. I know it sounds dumb, but it will always be hard for me, and it really is an all or nothing kind of thing in my world. When I'm not drinking soda I naturally eat healthier too, so that's a bonus. I'm still slowly losing some weight and I'm running/walking.

Speaking of running, I completed the Florida Tough Mudder, a 12 mile very muddy extreme obstacle course, back in December. I can not begin to describe how amazing that experience was. My teammates were phenomenal and supported me the entire way, I couldn't have done it without them. We are planning on doing it again this December and we want to expand our team (wanna come run with us, let me know!!!!) and train harder. I can't even imagine how much more fun it will be this year, having an idea of what to expect and being in better shape. In the mean time, I am signed up for two 5Ks in the next couple of weeks and I am starting to break in my new Vibrams for the Tough Mudder and the Emerald Coast MUDRUN for Orphans in May. Can you tell I'm hooked on the mud runs?

In other news I moved into a much smaller place this winter. So I am trying to organize my belongings, downsize even more, and simplify (even more). I have found that if my space is disorganized and a mess then I tend to waste time and time management begins to lack. When you work from home that becomes a major issue. The new place is slowly coming along, and if I can stay off pinterest long enough to implement some of the new ideas I find, I should have a functioning living and work space in the next week or two.

I'm not sure exactly where I'm going to take this blog, but I have a lot of ideas floating around right now. A few diy projects I am working on and projects I want to start; some crafty, some nerdy, some a little bit of both. So keep checking back, and hopefully this "wagon" will start goin' somewhere.
