I know this is cliché, but how in the world is January 2013 already coming to a close? Seriously! Part of me feels like Christmas vacation was a million years ago, but it also feels like the month has flashed by.
Okay, cheesiness aside – it’s time to reflect on the last month here on BWV. So grab a cup of coffee and let’s catch up on things you might have missed!
Your Favorite Post
I have to say I’m surprised to see a review as your favorite post of the month, but based on pageviews it looks like PV Body Review + Discount for You won the popularity contest this month. There are some changes coming to PV Body that I’m excited to learn more about and share with you. Stay tuned in February for more details!
My Favorite Post
One that didn’t get the attention it deserved was Encourage a January Joiner! As we’re closing out the first month, please help encourage those around you who have started a new fitness routine for 2013. And it will make your day brighter to help someone else! :)
Food
This month’s Meatless Mondays from A-Z covered all the recipes for the month. Although I do have a dessert recipe ready to share with you soon! Here’s a couple you don’t want to miss!
Fitness
In the fitness category, I started a new series this month to help with my own accountability and to give you a peak into Ironman training. You can see all of these grouped under this week in training, or follow allow every Saturday!
As part of my Fitness Friday series, I also shared my thoughts on tracking your workouts to get the new year started off right:
-
What Gets Measured…Gets Better
Life
And the final area in my quest for balance in 2013, living life!
I am feeling pretty good about what I’ve accomplished this first month of the year. I’m making progress in the area of balance and enjoying the ride.

Questions for you:
-

Michelle @ Eat Move Balance recently posted..Quick Bison Pumpkin Chili
Thanks Michelle! I’m ready to hit February running, how about you?! :)
Absolutely!! Hey–are going to be trying out Ellie. I had subscribed to pv.body and think I might give Ellie a try. I’m hoping the quality is good, so we’ll see! Happy Friday!
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance recently posted..KISS: Cauliflower Stirfry and Quinoa
I am – I’m really excited about it. I place my order earlier this week and I’ll do another full review when I try it out. The catalog looked fantastic – I hope they are as good as they look! :)
That pizza crust post was my favorite… it looked good, but that graphic blew my mind. I just stared at it for another 5 mins. :)
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table recently posted..My Favorite Health-Related Apps
Thanks Laura! I promise it’s easy – I’ll walk you through creating one if you want. :)
I agree-January has flown by! It’s been a pretty good month, but I’m more than ready to get to the next couple. They’re going to be so much fun!
Natalie @ Free Range Human recently posted..WIAW: Just Being Me!
Me too – and you do have some fun stuff coming up. I wish I was planning a huge hike like you. I need to hike more!
That spinach pizza looks good! May have to give it a shot– I’m a pizza addict :)
Colorado Gal recently posted..Winter Outdoor Retailer Favorites: 2013 Edition
Yes – although I hear from Heather P it’s a lot harder on your arms without a mixer. My favorite recipe is still the Udon. :)
I seriously cannot believe tomorrow is February either. Seriously.
LOVED (still love) your “Balance” post, and those two recipes are definitely the ones I still more want to try. I need to perhaps attempt one this weekend. Maybe a pho for soup of the week next week?
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen recently posted..Blue…Part Two. [#WIAW]
It just means I’m one month closer to hanging out with you again – unless I can convince you to come to Colorado before Blend! :)
Wow I just found your blog and i LOVE what you have done! Completing an ironman is so impressive :)
So far this year has got off to a great start, so I am excited for 2013 :)
Natasha recently posted..Tatted
Hey Natasha – so glad you found me and thank you for the complement! :) Impressive, crazy – a little of both, right?! Hope to see you here more often!
I can’t believe it’s almost february, and I’ve already been doing hot yoga for over a month. Crazy! Totally feeling improvements in my flexibility :)
Oh and I’m excited to try the bloody marry muffins ;)
Nadiya @ Milk and Honey on the Run recently posted..Tips to living a healthy life
Way to go girl!! I really can’t wait to get back to yoga, after Ironman is my favorite saying for things like that recently, but I mean it! And you would love the muffins! :)
