What are your goals/plans for 2015? What do you want to do? To Achieve? It basically comes down to what is right for you. Only you can decide what that may be. Just remember to keep some basics concepts in mind. Look deep inside of you to decide what is it that is really important to you. What drives your interests? What truly is important to you? For me, it always boils down to the main essentials: My Family!
My kids home for Christmas, with Molly’s boyfriend Tanner.
Sarah enjoying having everybody home for Christmas too.!
And of course, we can’t forget about Zeus!
Just remember, keep in mind what is important to you, and then set your goals in relation to them. It will be much easier to create goals that are important to you. Set those goals to be challenging, but achievable. Remember to take into account your schedule limitations, as everybody’s is different. How hard are you willing to work, and what are you willing to sacrifice? As long as you keep your core objectives in mind of why you are even wanting to have goals in the first place, then they will be much easier, and rewarding, to achieve. Keep moving everybody!

Who says just because the holidays are here you can’t still workout, and yet still have fun. Megan is home from school, so we have been going to Anytime fitness together. Molly will be too. Meg and I had some fun this AM while we were there.
Of course, we get to laughing so hard, we have to remember we are there to exercise! Here are a few more shots…
Megan started out a little slow trying to smile for the camera…
Then she started to smile a little more in between sets…
Just remember, even though it is the holidays, you can still work in some time to be fit, and take care of yourselves. Keep moving everybody! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

Whoever said that brothers don’t miss sisters, has missed out on a lot of things. Megan came home from college for Christmas…George Mason University in Farifax, Virginia. Nick may be the tough guy, but deep down, he missed his sister.
Mr. Tough guy is happy! Megan has not been home since mid August. Molly made it home from SDSU a few days prior, but did not get to come to the airport because she had 4 wisdom teeth removed the day prior. Believe me, she would have rather been at the airport!
We get to be a full family again for the next few weeks. This is what the holidays are about…spending time with the people you care about, and love. Not what presents you are going to get, or go have to buy, or the rest of the stress that goes with the holiday times. Just spend time together. Both girls have already asked when I am going to be working out, as they want to join me. Whether at home, or going in to Anytime Fitness, it does not matter. Another opportunity to spend together, and be healthier as a result. As I have said before, the family that works out together…lives longer and stays together longer, and gets to spend more time together. Enjoy the holidays coming. And remember, keep moving everybody!

Are you taking advantage of the improved weather lately? Are you getting out to enjoy it? If not, what are you waiting for? This morning was great for a morning run, and yesterday went out in the afternoon for a walk. The fog this AM made it seem very calm, quiet, and peaceful, especially when going by the lake.
Hopefully you took advantage of the great weather. It will be easy to remember the nice weather from yesterday with the special date we had: 12/13/14! We won’t see this sequence again in our lifetime. Are you waiting for the right excuse? Are you waiting for the perfect day? Are you waiting until the time is right? Well, that time, and day, is now! Get out and enjoy! Keep moving everybody!

There was not a shortage of things to do to be active this Holiday weekend. It started off right on Thanksgiving with the Turkey Day 5K. Here are some picture of us getting ready before hand. The first one is Nick, Sarah, and I, and then my nurse Chris and I, and finally Sarah and I coming across the finish line.
It was a cold day, with temps below zero, but it did not stop the diehards from showing up that morning. It was a great way to start out the day before spending the rest of the day eating!
Then the lighted parade Friday night. It was a good way to walk another couple of miles, and we handed out candy to as many kids as we could see. Brown clinic had our float, and it was a Jingle Bells theme. We won first for best music presentation! Way to go Brown Clinic, and especially to Stef Carlson and her husband Tim for doing the work getting the float ready!
It was a great extended holiday weekend. You can still enjoy the holiday, and still find ways to be active. You may just have to plan a little more! Keep moving everybody!
