On Friday after work I went to the gym and for the first time since kindergarten I DID A PULL UP! Not a chin up (palms in), but I real pull up! On January 1st, I could not even do one correct full push up, so I have come quite a long way.

Any one else have New Year's Resolutions that you are still working on/close to achieving?

    Well, I made the New Year's Resolution to lose weight (not really a specific amount but did want to try to get from 175 to 160 by my 10 year high school reunion). I am currently 153-154 and working on toning up! By the way, my reunion was cancelled about a month before it was scheduled to happen. :) I feel that I have achieved my resolution and then some! Keep up the good work!

    That's awesome!! That feeling you get when you do something for the first time that you couldn't have done before...that you couldn't even have imagined doing before... is amazing. Keep going!

    Yes, this week I achieved my New Year's Resolution! The beginning of Jan. I weighed 220ish at 5'9" and I couldn't even do houdehold chores without getting winded. Friday I made my final goal of 50 lbs lost. This puts me at 170, which is the top of the healthy weight range for my height. My fitness level has also drastically improved. I can run 2.5 miles continuously! I've never run more than a mile in my life until now. I'm not done yet. I've decided to go another 10 lbs and see where that puts me!
