    I've come a long way from last year but I still have a list!

    Consume less sodium.
    More strength training.
    Eat more vegetables and protein, fewer carbs.
    Finish 5k to 10k, (I'm on week 11), enter my first race and finish it.
    Take a lower dose of BP meds.

    May 5th 2012 was the day I started c25k for the 5th time as one last desperate attempt to 'run.

    may 5th 2013 is the day I run my first Marathon in Toronto. My goal is to simply finish.
    You can do it! Slow your speed down so it's easier to complete, then add speed later. I'm 51, never ran before and now I'm working on the 5k to 10k bridge. :)

    My goals for 2013 are to lose 61 pounds and get down to 140 lbs. I got very close to my goal and then gained 45 pounds. I want to get back on track, start running and exercising consistently again and focus on healthy eating.

    Get fit, thin, and sexy for my wedding in October! I refuse to look back at the photos from the happiest day of my life and be disgusted with myself.

    Fitness wise I want to get down to 135 by June...and lose all my belly fat.
    Health wise I just want to be able to eat healthy and portion control...I already cook fairly healthy.
    I also am giving up soda, beer, and liquor...I will drink the occasional glass of wine, but not the whole bottle.

    My goals are to clean up the last 20% of my diet and eliminate dairy (because of allergy) and wine. I want to be able to wear sexy shoes and show off my non-swollen ankles.

    And to be very open to new opportunities that push my comfort zone. 2012 has been a great year for me with lots of changes and I'm looking forward to 2013.

    I will do the following in 2013.

    1. Continue eating healthy.
    2. Finish a personal training course.
    3. Try a variety of new fitness activities so I won't get bored.
    4. Spend more time with my family.

    Most importantly, I will try to always project a positive attitude and not internalize comments from the negative Nelly's who like to try to fill my head with crazy nonsense such as weight loss is too hard and eating healthy is too time consuming or too expensive.

    Be well!

    To have it not suck as bad as 2012 did.

    Seriously - to be able to hike Long's Peak by July, and to have abs. And maybe even wear a bikini in Mexico.

    To lose the last 10-15lbs and tone up. I start school in 2 weeks, so that is a big goal for me... I graduated high school going on 10 years ago and was always afraid to go to college. Find a job, because i'm tired of being a stay at home mom.

    Hmmm... most of mine are fitness related:

    Squat 185 pounds
    Deadlift 205 pounds
    Do one unassisted pull-up
    Run 5 miles without walking in the middle

    Clean up my diet by eating fewer processed foods and sweets

    Reduce my body fat % to 25% or less

    Return to eating more mindfully and less out of habit or compulsion (I've been slipping on that one lately.)

    Hopefully I will be able to do the following:
    - Lose about 7lbs if possible, definitely reduce body fat
    - Squat 130kg
    - Bench 60kg
    - Get more tattoos
    - Travel as often as I can
    - Read and draw more
    - See Wintersun live


    And maybe:
    - get the balls up to emigrate
    - Consider the possibility of at least dating a suitable gentleman. We'll see.
    - Look into violin lessons

    My goal is to get down to 125, look good in a bikini, run at least three 5Ks, run the Crim 10 mile in August and run a half marathon in October. Also I want to do a much better job of tracking my foods and staying under my calorie goal each day.

    Health wise:

    Lose 70 lbs. (if I don't reach that number than to be able to know I put in all my effort)
    Eat clean 80% of the time.
    Drink more water (at least 3-4 liters a day)

    Wake up early to go to the gym so I can get in work out daily.

    Otherwise,
    I want to work away at our debt
    support my husband while he is in school and working.
    I have some spiritual goals, too, but this isn't the place for that.
    And to follow out budget strictly

    I don't know how many of these things I can get done, but without a list and some motivation, no one will ever know what they're capable of:

    1. Graduate with my bachelors in English and Sociology.

    2. Get down to 21% body fat or less. Less would be awesome! :)

    3. Get involved in power lifting again. It's been 5 years and I've lost almost all my strength.

    4. Try new fitness related things like hiking somewhere new, rock climbing, Zumba, whatever I feel like.

    5. Spend as much time on myself as I feel necessary. If I want a personal night with a bubble bath, I'm not going to make any excuses to not do it.

    ^ Those are all of things that I WILL DO! ^

    v These are all of the things that I would love to do, but I don't know if they're going to happen. v

    1. I would love to fit into a bikini top. I tried this year and after losing 50 pounds, my boobs were still too big to fit into anything cute without looking like a stripper.

    2. Buy a pair of cowboy boots. I couldn't bring myself to spend the money this past year, so maybe next year.

    3. Figure out how to lighten my stretch marks and get rid of my cellulite. Those would be beyond great!

    just get the degree first!

    Unless something goes horribly wrong, I'm set to graduate in May 2013. :)
