First order of business is to very belatedly announce the winner of the Amrita Singh Necklace, Hanna L! Congrats girl! Check your email because I can't wait to get your prize to you!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm in such a good mood today guys! haha I got up early and have been super productive so far, the kids are in good moods, I'm sore everywhere which means I've been pushing myself(check), I'm energetic and pumped to clean and work, also it's a Monday which I love (also someone pointed out it's the very first Monday of the new year:)), and I'm doing my very first solo giveaway of the year for something that I'm so excited about! One winner will receive a new 6th generation 8GB multi-touch Apple iPod Nano! 
This is the perfect giveaway for this time of year, because I know that many of you like me are working on your health and fitness right now, and this ipod is just awesome for exercising! It's so tiny and light so you can clip it anywhere on your shirt or use this band
to wear it as an arm band or watch, you can easily switch between all your playlists, FM-radio, and audio books, also it has a built in pedometer! The 8GB of space means you can hold somewhere around 2k songs which is more than enough to not have to switch out music very often if ever. Enough praising now and on to the entries! :

P.S. In case you're interested in all the videos I'm going to be putting out but not necessarily on my blog, Subscribe below!
My goal is to really focus on my overall health; mental, spiritual, physical, emotional and to be happy with me!
ReplyDeleteI've been out of the workout game for a while and my student butt needs a little kick. So Im hoping to hit the gym at least 3 times a week, working on cardio and rebuilding muscle that i have lost :)
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to get into better shape so that I can do more of the things I enjoy such as snowboarding and hiking!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to the swimming pool to work better on arms and legs!
ReplyDeleteMy goal is going to the swimming pool to work better on arms and legs.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm focusing on eating a more balanced diet. I've always watched the calories but I'm trying to pay more attention to what kinds of foods I'm eating.
ReplyDeleteI want to get back into my yoga practice! I injured my neck/shoulder back in october and have been unable to practice much since then and I cannot believe how much I miss it! My goal is to get healed up and improve my flexibility and inversion postures!
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to get back to my pre-wedding weight and fit back into my dress pants that fit last May. And be able to run 3 miles again.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting married in October so my goal for this year is to loose the weight i've gained in the last year or so and get nice and toned :)
ReplyDeleteMy smaller goal is to fit back into a favorite dress... the larger one is to be in the best shape of my life by the time I turn 30 in May!! HOT BY 30!!
ReplyDeleteMy goal to get healthy this year is to spend 30 minutes each day preparing. I always say I'm going to make lunch or make a smoothie for breakfast, but I always leave it until the next morning and I'm too busy or too stressed to get it done. So this year I want to spend 30 minutes each day preparing for the next whether that's packing lunches, planning a workout or whatever.
ReplyDeleteMy fitness related go this year is to spend more time planning each day for the next. We say that I'm going to pack a lunch or prep dinner for the next day and they always run out of time around too rushed in the morning to get it done.
ReplyDeleteI had my first baby in August and I am still trying to lose the extra weight! I also want a healthy lifestyle in general. This would definitely help pump me on my boring running days!
ReplyDeleteto lose 20 pounds by June for a wedding I am in
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to become stronger and healthier in preparation for my two week trek through some mountains in Northeastern New Mexico! I can do it, but I want this trip to be a breeze!
ReplyDeleteLove all your posts!
ReplyDeleteI try not to set resolutions but the business of january is a great time to meal plan so I actually eat during the day!! And try to avoid the inclination to work during lunch instead of working out.
ReplyDeleteI am coming back from a very long recovery after a tendon injury and my goal is to be running again this spring.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
My main goal is to start cooking healthy meals rather than takeout and freezer foods!
ReplyDeleteI've just recently found out that I'm pregnant so my goal is to be a very healthy pregnant women...so my workouts are probably going to change dramatically very soon!
ReplyDeleteI've just recently found out that I'm pregnant so my workouts are about to change quite a bit from the usual pumping iron and running that I love. i look forward to the challenge!
ReplyDeleteWoooooh cool giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to workout. Not particularly losing weight or being able to lift xnumber of pounds. If I can get myself to workout more than last year, I'll be happy.
ReplyDeleteI would love this! I am going to be training to run a race with my husband. Normally I do Pilates since I normally think running is boring, but this would really help!
ReplyDeleteI want to work up to a heavier weight in my kettlebell swings, and to add more kettlebell exercises to my routine. I was scared to try it at first, but now I LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteMy goal this year is to workout 5 days a week...no matter what I'm doing or where I'm at!
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to figure out a schedule to workout that fits around my family's schedule. I also want to work towards some more advanced yoga poses.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to eat more fruits and vegetables and to also motivate myself to get to the gym.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is actually to gain 5 lbs. I've always been really skinny and I want to put on weight this year- plus join a gym, cause as a former dancer I'm not anywhere near as in shape as a used to be- Considering I haven't done ANY exercising since september 2012... Whoops... :)
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!

ReplyDeleteLast year my goal was to run a whole 5k without stopping. This year I'd like to do an 8k without stopping and complete my first 10k. Here's to running! And I would love the ipod to help me through it :)
ReplyDeleteI've been really wanting to start running! I also want to start eating healthier. During the day I tend to snack on not so great things, and I want to work on replacing that with much better things.
ReplyDeleteJust got my gym membership started last week!!!
ReplyDeleteI would live to run another half mrathon this year. Also, I want to workout more at home with my 2 and 6 year old so that they can see me make good lifestyle changes.
ReplyDeleteIn a way, you are kind of my motivation. My husband and I have baits on the brain for 2015, so my goal for 2014 is the get my best body possible. That way, when I do have kids, I'll already be in the habit of working out regularly and I'll know what my body is capable of doing. I know that body changes after baby obviously, but I feel I would have my best shot of getting back to normal if I had a better grasp on what my "normal" could look like. Adam, my husband, is a huge cross fit buff. He is currently working on a plan specialized for me and I'm so excited and so nervous at the same time! Eeek! Here's to 2014!!

ReplyDeleteWhen I was in high school (5 years ago), I played on two different competitive soccer teams and was in crazy good shape. I've worked out consistently since then, but I haven't had that kind of fitness level. So my goal for this year is to get my "soccer body" back. I've signed up for a half marathon in the spring, and I'm hoping to do a full marathon in the fall. Hopefully that will give me the big push that I need to go from a decently fit twenty-something to a finely honed machine!

ReplyDeleteMy health goal is to get healthy again! In the past few months I've overindulged because of crazy schedules, exams, work and socialites. Now I'm not really feeling comfortable with my body so I'm planning on loosing the 3/4 lbs I've put on in the last few months. This iPod would certainly made workout funnier :-D Happy birthday gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to find a barre class in my area to attend. I haven't done any ballet in almost 10 years, and I love how long and toned it makes me. I have a more compact 'athletic' figure, so most exercises cause me to bulk up, but barre work is perfect.
ReplyDeleteMy goal this year is to workout 3 days a week and hopefully once this cold weather goes away, I can train during those 3 days for a marathon!

ReplyDeleteCheers,
Alyson
I decided to go back to the gym. No excuses! I've allowed being married, working a full-time job, part-time grad school and social life get in the way. But I am going to make time so I can lose these 40 POUNDS (eek!) I call it the marriage weight. Let's be honest, who gets married and DOESN"T gain weight?
