Happy New Year!!

Jan 01, 2012

Today is a good day to look back over the last year and acknowledge all that I have accomplished.  I have lost over 100 pounds.. and THAT is a great accomplishment.  I've gotten my blood pressure down to 98/60... lowest I've ever had!!!  I've gotten glowing reports from my regular doctors at how well I'm doing losing the weight and getting healthy.  My 1 year follow up appointment is on January 4th.  I'm excited about that, and I'm excited about getting my gym membership.

Also accomplished multiple 5ks this year.  I've successfully gotten into a size 12 pants.  I am technically smaller than I was at my high school graduation!! (I was a 14 then!).  My confidence has returned, my self esteem is higher than its ever been and I've even started to date a little bit.  I've also installed a laminate floor in my house (three rooms!), painted a bedroom and put in a small butterfly garden.  Its been a busy and WONDERFUL year!!

2011 Will always be a very good memory for me.  It is the year that I got healthy.  I'm so happy these days I annoy some of my family! LOL.. .I know I am probably restating the obvious from earlier posts, but I think when we change years, it is a good time to evaluate all we have in done in the previous year, and it can be a great time to make goals for the new year.

Goals for 2012:
Continue to get fit.
Continue to get to my goal weight.
Volunteer at the hospital to rock babies
Go back to college (enrolled in Spring Semester already!! :) )
Pay off my credit card debt
Go Skydiving!

Here's to everyone acknowledging their successes and creating more goals for 2012!!!
