https://i.imgur.com/VLLsOYt.jpg With 2020 kicking off it is a good time to evaluate your past year and see what you can learn from it. I learned that my health is more important now than ever, especially since Im about to begin my new life when I get married this spring. I honestly don't really care to make *"new years resolutions"* but I do think it is a great time to evaluate the prior year and to get my shit together so I can start the next year off on the right foot. Hopefully, if I do it right, it will set a positive tone for the entire year the first month of the year. I have tried this in the past and have been quite successful as long as I can turn my routines into habits. It takes 22 days to create a habit/routine that your body and mind are used to so I am really pushing myself hard right from the start this year, that is why I finally broke down and got a gym membership so I can do it right this year. https://i.imgur.com/UWYf908.jpg [source](https://image.freepik.com/free-photo/new-year-2020-goals-list-office-desk-table-with-notebooks-pancil-with-pot-plant_1627-4193.jpg) I think it's best to sit down and actually write some goals down on paper for the year, that way you can look at them daily and keep them fresh in your mind. 2020 will be a year of health for me because I am getting married in the spring and I want to be in the best shape of my life for this special occasion. Now, this may seem easy enough but being 37 years old I am going to have to really push myself to be as sexy as I was in my early 20s and a soldier. LoL. Needless to say, I am going to have to go hardcore to make complete this health goal. To kick it off I am going extreme on the healthy (organic) eating and *cutting out all the bad stuff*, at least until my wedding in April. So to expedite this weightloss and rid myself of the stubborn visceral fat (and love handles) I am cutting out all soda until April. Not only that, I am also not drinking any Alcohol until April! I know I know, it sounds crazy (LoL), but sometimes you have to sacrifice things to get the outcome you want.... ugh. Haha. Oh yeah and absolutely no more fast food or eating out until April :( That will really help to drop any excess weight. https://i.imgur.com/DRp68gi.jpg [source](https://www.frescohealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/self-love.jpg) I have decided to implement an 80% plant-based diet along with intermittent fasting. My body seems to function best on that diet so I will be able to lose weight and gain muscle faster. Let's just hope I can keep on it for 4 months without cheating (too much LoL). https://i.imgur.com/kHyrAk5.jpg (my running path) I also have goals for my long-distance running this year. In 2019 I did **a lot** of running, in fact, *I ran over 600 miles* so in 2020 I want to run more than 800! In 2019 I ran in three 5k races, one color run, and one Rugged Maniac Mud Obstacle course. I improved my times quite a bit throughout the year and am going to continue to step it up this year. I plan to run a 10k race (in under 42 minutes) and complete a half marathon without stopping to walk. https://i.imgur.com/zuMnYHZ.jpg 2020 Should be an amazing year for sure, hopefully the crypto market will reflect that too ;) Make 2020 the year your dreams come true :0) Take care friends. ***If you want to participate in this contest, please check out [this post](https://steemit.com/hive-120078/@naturalmedicine/the-first-natural-wisdom-challenge-of-2020-win-100-steem-and-lotus-tokens) with all the info.*** *I didn't have the 100 lotus coins needed to burn to @null to enter this @naturalmedicine contest, so if you can help me out with that please leave me a message below.
