Day 31 – January Daily Blog Posting Month

A lot of people hate the month of January.  I can understand why.  It’s the month after Christmas, the VISA bill hurts, and the reality of winter sets in.  For me, the first month of 2014 was pretty darn good.

I set out to blog daily and I did it.

I exercised daily, in one form or another.

I cut out desserts after dinner and lost close to 10 lbs.

I tried to run 3 times a week – the only thing that stopped me was bitterly cold temperatures and snow.

The month ended with me running three days in a row – yes, you read that right.  I went for another run today.  It was short, only 3.22 km for 26 minutes (10:1s).  I ran a total of 44.4 km this month.  What a great start to the year.  I feel great.

Another milestone this month was introducing the baby to solid food and formula. In the past week he has started eating rice cereal twice a day, and in addition to some formula, last night was the first time he woke up only once.  I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, folks!!  I’ll be weaning the baby over the next few weeks, I am close to being done  with nursing.  I need to get some good sleep for at least a month before I go back to work on April 1st.

I’d like to thank all of my readers and followers for sticking with me during this self-imposed daily posting month.  I am having crazy thoughts about doing it again for February!
