Let me clarify. The headline was admittedly to get you here. I don't really blame running on my recent weight gain. But my mindset after I run. In 2015 I ran more than ever before, logging 793 miles. I ran a half marathon, a full marathon, a relay race and several 5Ks. So it was a good year for running.

| Wrapping up 2015 |
While my mileage went up, so did my weight. It's nothing drastic, but I am about 10 pounds heavier than I was a year ago. I weighed myself this morning (New Year's Day) and I'm at 193.6 pounds. I'm not complaining, but I'm not happy with the way things are right now.
When I run and see that I've burned hundreds of calories, I justify making a less healthy choice later that day. Over the fall I became addicted to peanut butter and apple butter sandwiches at lunch. I've also started using flavored coffee creamers, and after two or three cups a day, the calories add up. I'm now limiting myself to one coffee a day with the creamer, the rest of my cups are just black.

For the last couple of years I've declared it the year I find my abs. Obviously, that's still not happened. I took that pic above this morning after weighing myself. I've also started the 30 Day Ab Challenge. I know that abs are built in the kitchen, and I'm changing my eating habits and trying to conquer my sweet tooth. It's not going to be easy, but I know it can be done.
In addition to the Ab Challenge, I plan to increase the number of times I hit the gym. I'll also work more DDP Yoga into my life and of course, I'll keep running. My first meal of the new year was a spinach, banana, blueberry and peanut butter smoothie. It's pretty good and good for me too (at least I hope).
