Happy New Year!
That little party guy emoticon would definitely not be representative of me at midnight last night. I was fast asleep at midnight โ for the first time I can honestly remember. This was for several reasons, the main one being I just didnโt feel like staying up until midnight, b.) Iโm heading over to the new gym Iโll be training at today to meet the crew, and c.) Iโm still on Central Time Zone,ย for which we did, in fact, help ring in the new year.
(note: feel free to skip my rambling mumbo jumbo to the if youโre only interested in giveaways and specials )
I did, however, have a fantastic New Yearโs Eve with the husband in our new state.
We finally got our Internet hooked up and working yesterday, so the majority of the morning was spent working. I had a lot of client programs to send out for the week, so I ferociously worked away finishing those up and sending them out by noon. Then we took Niko for a long walk. Itโs weird โ it was only 20 degrees here yesterday, but itโs not that bone-chilling cold like it is in the Midwest. I canโt really describe it, but we were both saying how it felt SO much warmer than the actual temp.
We spent the rest of the day running errands (Target and I are getting pretty tight) and furniture shopping. We found a gorgeous sofa and chair and I cannot wait to fill our living room with them.
Then, we got ready for the main event โ the New Yearโs Even special at the Melting Pot.
We made the trip to Fort Collins for an amazing fondue dinner. It included 5 courses, and I had to be rolled out at my last sip of coffee.
There was ceviche, wine, cheese fondue and dippers, salad, lobster, pork, chicken, shrimp, steak, beef, veggies, and ravioli, a champagne toast, dessert (flaming turtle โ OMG) which I totally hoarded the cheesecake all to myself, and then coffee with cream. Stick a fork in me. I. am. finished.
Then we came home, drank some water and talked for a while (crazy how much ya talk without working cable in the house!) and called in a night. GOOD. night

Hi Paige,
My main New Year’s resolution is to get back into a consistent workout schedule. 2012 was a chaotic year but I am ready to get back to my former fitness level. Happy 2013!
omg i want you to train me!!!! my current goal is to do a handstand pushup!

My New Year’s resolution is to be more mindful and respectful of my life. I had WAY too many treats during the holidays, so I can’t wait to get back to eating delicious whole foods that will make my body feel good.
My resolution is to try to add more protein into my diet.
My number one goal in 2013 is to get down to my goal weight, once and for all! I’m also cutting out all added sugar for (at least) the next two weeks!
Carly @ Snack Therapy recently posted…2013 Resolutions
My New Year Resolution is for me and my boyfriend to get our own place and start a life of our own.
I’d like to continue making the healthy choices and actions and meals that I did in 2012! I’ve started including weight lifting a lot more and am totally loving it!
Linz @ Itz Linz recently posted…Best of 2012
I have set several goals this year and one of them is to do an unassisted pull-up. Love your blog and congrats on the move!
This is a great goal. Ahhh pull ups.
My main goal is my half marathon in March! but otherwise another goal is to tone up and I would love some direction from a trainer ๐
katiemoves recently posted…Why wait?
I’m so glad the move went well and that you are getting all settled in. I love the Melting Pot! Fondue is one of the best inventions ever! ๐ One of my 2013 goals is to start submitting some query letters for freelance writing opportunities.
Ali @ WHOLEistically Fit recently posted…HUGE Announcement!!
Hi Paige! Glad you are already enjoying Colorado! My main resolution for 2013 is to get my mind healthy ๐ to learn to slow down, be more aware, notice and appreciate the little things and let the things that aren’t serving me go!
My current goal is to train for my first 10k pain and injury free. I’ve been using your mobility routines as part of my stretching regimen and I think they’re helping!
My main goals are to run a half marathon in April, lose the 25 lbs I’ve gained the last 2 years, and read more books!
Side note: I’m completely jealous that you’re living the dream of moving to Colorado. I’ve been there on vacation the last 2 summers – Breckenridge in 2011 and honeymoon in Colorado Springs this year – and the hubs & I have talked to many times about moving out there. It’s just so beautiful!!!
Melissa recently posted…Reveal Day!
I’ve never been to Breckenridge (did you ski there?) But I’d like to go either there or Steamboat Springs soon to try skiing.
I so want you to train me!! My biggest goal is to build muscle and gain some healthy weight!
Brittany @ Delights and Delectables recently posted…Happy New Year! Taking a Look Back at 2012
I can’t believe I won! What a great way to kick off 2013!
Paige, I emailed you through your “contact me” page.
No new injuries in 2013!
26.2 miles is my goal for 2013. Here we go!
my new years resolution is to be more mindful and present in my life. My fitness new years resolution is to do 50 continuous push ups, not on my knees!
It has been too long!! I didn’t realize you had bangs… LOVE ๐
Aw, thanks, Anne ๐
One of my 2013 goals is to run a Tough Mudder in the spring!
Meghan @ After the Ivy League recently posted…Happy New Year! 2013
I would love to do a Tough Mudder. They’re so intimidating to me for some reason!
One of my resolutions is to eat clean!
I have many goals….I’d like to eat healthier, become leaner, run a 10K and hopefully a sprint triathalon!
One of my new year’s resolutions is to step outside of my comfort zone fitness wise – I’d love to try some new-to-me workouts like yoga or pilates.
Sarah @ Blonde Bostonian recently posted…WIAW #38: Travel Eats {What I Ate Wednesday}
I was almost out cold by 11 pm but soldiered through it to watch the ball drop. I just find that NYE is overrated in terms of partying it up at the bars. Give me a couch and a cute guy and friends by my side and I’m content!
For me, a goal for 2013 is to tone up and become even healthier with my food choices. That means actually preparing REAL dinners and not some half-assed dinner. Dinner is my downfall so I know if I can be better about that meal, then I can really tackle my goals!
Allie recently posted…New Yearโs Eve and New Yearโs Day
One of my 2013 goals is to run a half marathon. I found a running training plan, so feel ok about building up my mileage, but I’m not sure how/when to best insert my strength training and am worried I won’t have time to keep up with that part of my workout routine…
My goal for 2013 is to workout 5-6 days per week!
Happy New Year! my goals this year is to quit worrying about my weight and start being healthy! take care of the body God gave me and quit abusing it!!
Paige..I laughed out loud when reading your “what not to do on cross country move”. Glad you got there without the gas nozzle still attached ๐
Anyway….my new year goal is to get in 300 workouts in 2013. I’d love to have you train me!!
Hehe ๐
Woot – And I would love to train you!
Happy New Year! i do not like to make resolutions, because they are always so lofting and broad. But I would like to stay healthy this year and learn how I can reduce my sugar intake (I love sweets) and lean out. I don’t have a lot of weight to lose, I have more muscle. I would like to look for defined and cut.
I hear you on the resolutions, but that’s a great goal!
Looks like you guys had a nice and low key celebration! Which sounds pretty amazing. I’m not usually a goal setter for the New Year, but I’d really like to get more involved in the fitness industry and expand my knowledge with nutrition and some other fun things too!
One my my goals is to increase my strength and muscle mass ๐
My goal is to get into a consistent workout routine that combines strength and cardio. I also want to run three 5ks!
Love the 5k distance.
This would be great! My New Years resolution is to get off these pesky pounds that have reappeared since finding out how much I love good beer!
pick me, pick me. my GOAL for this year is to run a 5k. i know it is not unattainable, but for a long time it has seemed like something that i would never do, so, i am going to do it! i wpuld love yo win some training from someone i feel i know (hehe) & getting advise from someone I trust.
Two big resolutions in 2013–run my first half marathon and do 5 unassisted pull ups!
That’s one of my goals, too! (The pull ups, part ;))
My new year’s fitness goal is to try one new group fitness class each season. January-March: yoga, April-June: spinning July-September: body pump October-December: belly dancing or hot yoga.
A goal of mine is to be able to do pull-ups on my own.
My New Years resolution is to lose the last 10 lbs and tone up in time for my June wedding! (Oh and do unassisted pullups!)
My NY resolution is to lose 10-15 lbs and to train and do a 5K on the 4th of July with my family.
My resolution is to run a 10k and to do more strength training!
Happy New Years Paige! My new years resolution actually kicked into gear in early November. since then I’ve been in India visiting family, eating healthy and working out with a personal trainer at a local gym. So far I’ve lost 23 pounds. The main go for me now is continue the hard work and enjoy the new benefits I’m experiencing with a healthy diet and exercise.
Hi Paige!
My main resolution for 2013 is to get my mind & body healthy and appreciate the little things in life! I would love to lose some inches and gain some more confidence in myself!
My 2013 goal is to use my passion for writing, creating, yoga and health to give back and help others. ๐
Emily S recently posted…The Last Teenage Heartbreak
One of my new year’s resolutions is to tone up by lifting/strength training at least 3 times per week. I have already joined a gym and have taken a couple of strength training classes to get going on this new goal ๐ I would love to win a personal training program! It fits right in line with my existing goal.
One of my resolutions is to tweak my eating habits (I don’t do “diets”). I need to cut back on my sugar and booze, and add more whole foods. ๐

One of my goals for 2013 is to control my portion sizes. No more cleaning off my children’s plate!
My NY resolution is to be more present, to listen and to be more engaged in my surroundings. Congrats on the move to CO Paige!
My goal/resolution is to get a consistent workout routine going! Lately it’s been so hit or miss (ex. 6 days at the gym one week, 1 day at the gym the next). Would love to win a month of personal training from you!!!
