So inspired by your episode and the whole series. Really going to put some of the lessons learned into action this year. My resolution is ‘focus’ and I really related to the “schedule your priorities, not prioritise your schedule”. Happy New Year.

A great program in repeat airings on PBS is “In Defense of Food” by Michael Pollan, who urges us to eat more plant-based foods. Excellent news for spiralizers. Happiest New Year to Ali and your allies! Nancy

Another great cause is http://www.kiva.org/ which doesn’t even cost money as you provide micro loans to people in developing countries which get paid back! Small ways to make a huge difference! All the best and Happy New Year!

They actually told me about your website/blog! After starting the Whole 30 eating plan the beginning of July, 2015, I’ve dumped 15 pounds (for good!), have discovered lots of new veggies and fruit concoctions, coconut milk and am having fun creating in the kitchen. So many of your recipes are fun, easy and delicious! So I guess I want 2016 to be a continuation of what I started in mid 2015. And I’d like to add in more hikes, as I live in beautiful Colorado! Thanks for your energy and inspiration, Ali. You’re the best! Kathie

I lost a job I ADORED, I lost the apartment that I ADORED. I’ve yet to find a job, unemployment has run out, there has been death, financial ruin and then add a massive weight gain to top it all off because I was self-medicating. I don’t know where I am going to begin, but I come here to enjoy the company of like-minded people. This spot always makes me feel better. Reading this today has lifted my spirits. I guess the journey begins with one step right? My first step begins today. I will not feel sorry for myself. I refuse.

I’ve finally gotten to the point where I am okay with missing workouts and not beating myself up over it. I will instead approach it the way you plan : get in more fruits and veggies and drink more water! Better diet choices can make all the difference in how you feel! At least I have found that for me.
I still need to sit down and think about some of my goals for 2016. One I’ve kept thinking about is startingto practice yoga/meditation. Its something I keep thinking about about I think it is about time I just start! I also want to get up earlier and devote those first 10 minutes in the morning to stretching. I have such tight muscles and I don’t make time to stretch and roll them out enough!
Thanks for sharing your goals with us Ali! 🙂 Happy New Year!

Such healthy, fun goals! Cheers to 2016!

Sounds like you are passionate and motivated and will continue to have success with Barely Vegan!! I’ll definitely be following along – and thanks for all the kind words! Happy 2016!

I love that idea – cheers to you too!

My main goal for 2016 is to keep working on my website and try to improve my content and photography skills. By the way, I LOOOOVED your interview with Food Blogger Pro. They have the best, most informative, interviews and yours was one of my favs! I swear we are so similar, which is why I love following your journey. I used to work at upscale hotels too. Before I went to culinary school I went to a regular university and got a degree in hotel and restaurant management. I used to meet so many celebrities on a daily basis at that job (uggghhh…why didn’t I network more back then?!). I also love Evernote. It’s the only password I make sure to remember otherwise I’d be lost because I put EVERYTHING in Evernote!! And I had to teach myself Indesign to make my ecookbook too. I’ve been doing everything by myself & it is very overwhelming at times. You are very inspiring. Thank you for helping us little bloggers by being so open and sharing all that you’ve done to become successful. I am going to take the advice you said in the podcast and maybe make order some tote bags and shirts with my logo and website for friends and family to use. Maybe that’ll help get me more exposure. I wish you many many many more decades of success and happiness. I hope you have a great New Year and Year 2016!! 🙂

I’ve been 4th twice now, it’s gonna happen!!

Mine are to get out of my credit card debt (it was a rough year, but I want to put it behind me), run a sub 10min mile half marathon, climb Mt Rainier (and several other peaks as training! That in and of itself will be daunting), continue working towards my masters (and apply to a concrete program in the fall), lead hikes for my hiking group at least once a month (gotta give back!) and continue eating healthy and working out to get to my goal weight.

Happy New Year!

One of mine is definitely to wake up earlier and go to sleep earlier to feel more refreshed and get better sleep. My biggest goal is to stop wasting so much time – sit down for a couple hours each day to work on my stuff so I’m not going back to it little by little every day. Wishing you the best 2016!
