2012 in Retrospect
Someone asked me about my New Year's Resolutions this morning, they always seem to focus on the negative in my life or things I need to improve upon. I decided to instead tell her what I had accomplished this year and focus on how far I've come.
So let's hear what goals you've achieved, what mountains you've climbed (literally and figuratively), what items you've crossed off your bucket list....anything that you've accomplished this year.

I'm proud of what I've accomplished with my body and my mind this year.
I took back control of my life.
I'm (getting) back to being the person I was 10 years ago.
I've lost 37 pounds and gone down 4 sizes.
I can look at my body in the mirror now and not walk away shaking my head.
I've added some AMAZING people to my life.
Most importantly . . . I'm truly happy for the first time in years.0 -

--Bought and wore a dress AND a swimsuit...for the first time since I was 18 years old.

--Cut out the drama causing friends in my life
--Started to work on having a relationship with my alcoholic mother (something I haven't had since I was ohhh 8 years old)
--Faced a lot of demons and am working hard to loosen their grip in my life
--2012 was overall a *kitten* year - but I've become a LOT stronger physically, emotionally, and mentally because of it. Bring on 2013 and watch me kick its *kitten*.0 -
i lost over 50 lbs, and while i want to lose more and i hate this plateau, i haven't gained it back either, which is a first for me.
i finished Warrior Dash, bleeding and mud-caked, i got across that finish line.
i surrvived zombies, again, bleeding and mud-caked, but ALIVE.
i have met some of the most amazing ppl here, and doing the two of the above.
i do not start every day with aleve. yeah, i have to take it still when i lift hard, but i don't have to take it to live my life.
i'm looking forward to getting into 2013 going ROAR rather than whimper.
oh! and i went to ren faire and my old bustier top is now a VEST!! ha!0 -

I truly adore you.0 -
2012 was one of the best and worst years of my life.
Due to numerous reasons, including surgery I'm pretty much right back where I was a year ago in my fitness journey. (If you guys get Journey stuck in my head I will kick you in the taint, you know who I'm talking about - \m/ )
I've made as many beautiful memories as I have that were bad and probably have changed my outlook on life forever. I guess these are the things that shape the people we become as we get older.
I've made a lot of connections with some pretty amazing people, people I can't imagine my life without and people who have been here for me through hard times in ways that I think no one else would. Which says a lot about the type of people that are members of this site.
You know who you are, and I love and appreciate each and every one of you. Let's kick 2013's *kitten*!0 -
