Merry Christmas, everyone.
I sit here reflecting tonight on the year. Many good things happened to me this year, life-changing things. I met amazing people, developed wonderful friendships, started back to school. It's always been a dream to have a bachelor's degree and now I'm bringing it to fruition. Many negative things happened as well. There are mean people in this world who don't bat an eye about causing others harm or angst.
But, that's life. There's good, there's bad, there's mediocre.
This coming year will be full of busy-ness, school, fitness, family, life. Learning to deal with stress, fight off depression, stay positive, find the good, find the silver lining--that's what it's all about. Life starts and stops at birth and death, but LIFE is what happens in the middle. The day-to-day stuff is what it's all about, so our focus is imperative.
With that, I have set new goals for the future.
1) Get below 200 again
2) Get back to my lowest weight of 175 or whatever it was--I felt great then!
3) Get to GOAL
4) Heal my feet
5) Increase my FLEXIBILITY--I'm starting yoga (cough, sputter, ME, who hates all things yoga!)
6) Learn World Kettlebell Club style kettlebells! This is an ongoing process. I love kettlebells, but I'm not very good. That's okay. I will get better.
7) Get back in my clothes! I have a closet full of smaller-sized clothes and I'm ready to wear them again!
8) BE POSITIVE
9) BE HAPPY
10) Love
Next Christmas, I want my gift to myself to be at my goal weight. That's plus or minus 70 pounds. I can and I will. Watch me!!!
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
