Far too long.

It's been far too long. Far too long.

2015 is going to be a big year. 2015 is going to be the year of Caitlin. When I woke up on New Year's Day, one of the first things I mentioned to Joe was that 2015 is the year I turn 30. I will be 30 this year. 30 years old.

I know it's not old and I don't feel old, but there are so many things I wished and planned to do before I turned 30. The good news? I still have nine months to check all of these things off my list.

So, this year is all about trying new things, reaching beyond my level of comfort and big life changes.

The first journey I have set out upon is not only a change in my physical appearance, but also my health, heart and mind. As I have mentioned before, I love my body. I mean, for heaven's sake, it gave me the greatest gift 18 months ago. I love the changes that have taken over my body as a result of childbirth. The stretch marks that remind me of when baby boy was growing in my belly, the wisps of baby hair that are still returning after losing my hair. However, I also dislike them at times. When I have to use a rubber band to fasten my jeans because they don't fit right anymore, wearing maternity jeans because they're more comfortable on my "pooch", and becoming complacent with my unhealthy postpartum weight. Those things I dislike.

So, this is the year that is all going to change. My family and I have joined the "Commit to Get Fit" challenge that is put on by the City of Liberty's Community Center. This challenge is not only about losing weight, but changing your lifestyle. My family and I have shared our short term and long term goals with one another and are diving in straight into the deep end. I am thrilled to have an accountability team and even more thrilled to have that team be my family.

I look forward to sharing my highs and lows with you as I venture forward on this journey.

I also look forward to sharing this year with you. This is going to be a phenomenal year and I can't wait to see what exciting things lay ahead.

Happy 2015, friends.

Caitlin
