First off, thanks for stopping by — 2016 was not the best for this site. I was MIA for most of it. I would plan a post, get it mostly written out (you should see my draft folder!) and then need pictures from my phone or camera and then…..crickets. Then a couple of weeks later I’d do the same. And again and again.
Then, I would be all “Well, I haven’t posted about June so I can’t jump in to August and now look it’s New Year’s Eve Eve and dang….lost the whole year”. Frankly, I beat myself up a lot about it. Which is dumb but I do dumb sometimes!
And, somewhere along the line I lost ALL my mojo — my running mojo, my eating right mojo, my MOJO! I had little motivation to do much of anything.
Hopefully 2017 will be different – I am hoping to be completely mojo’d out! Or, at least be better than I was in 2016
A friend of mine (probably a few friends actually) chooses a word for the year and I’ve determined that for 2017 my word is CONSISTENCY.
Consistency in everything I think and do.
That means, consistently following through on my plans.
Consistently following a training plan for whatever crazy runs I sign up for this year.
Consistently working towards a much healthier diet
And, consistently posting here – and not kicking myself for days when I don’t. I had hoped in the beginning to use this blog as a means of being accountable to myself and that has just not happened as much as I’d thought.
So, being consistently accountable for my actions (good, bad and otherwise!) is a big goal. Probably the biggest of all.
Of course I also have the usual “lose weight” “get stronger” “do new stuff” resolutions ….but more on that soon.
Really.
If you’re here, thanks for stopping by and I hope you’ll keep in touch. And if I happen to write something you like, share with your friends.
Hope to see LOTS more of you this year

Love you! And, I totally get it! I don’t think I necessarily lost ground in 2016 compared to 2015, but I didn’t so much move forward. 2017 is going to rock!
You rock and I could have written this post too. Lost the same mojo ….if you need a lets get our mojo back buddy, here I am.
You rock. Do what you can – don’t beat yourself up over it. I’ve thought time and time again to start a blog but feared the dreaded “dead time’ that might happen. It happens!
Thanks Sandra
