    I got fired from a job I hate and found a job at a higher rate of pay where they think I'm awesome about 3 weeks later. I also managed to complete the tax course at HR Block, so I will be doing taxes this year. It's a real college accredited course and I aced it in two weeks.

    Now if I could just find a job with reliable hours and get my health under control I'd be moving in a great direction.

    I started exercising more, i started 30 day shred and stuck to it including getting dup early to do before work, plus have added in yoga meltdown and burn fat boost metabolism ( or whatever it is called). On level 3 of 30 ds!

    I wanna learn a martial art this year! Never done one before. There is a karate school nearby where u can go for 2 weeks free & a TKD class down the road so will see what is the best fit

    - Ran a 5k (first one ever)
    - Completed a round of P90X (first time)
    - Benched 230 pounds (5 lbs over my current weight)
    - Did 3000 pushups on my birthday, yep 3-0-0-0 in one day, took 17 hours, and I couldn't lift my arm for days. only 500 of those 3000 were on my knees.

    I don't have any particular goals for 2013, just to continue getting healthier, and improving my fitness.

    Hmmm, well I lost 30lbs and transformed my body with heavy lifting. I hope to drop 30 more and be the strongest me I can be.

    Started lifting heavy. Ran a half marathon and was able to walk afterwards! I gained muscle (maybe some fat too) but I was scrawny last January...

    I went backpacking. I went to hot springs. I snowboarded. I surfed with pelicans. I saw meteor showers. I got my son a nice bike. I learned to lead climb. I hiked in moonlight. I floated down a river.

    Got a 4.0 this semester while taking 18 hours that included Cell & Molecular Biology, Organic Chemistry, Calculus, and Physics. Those are all considered hard classes by most students I asked.

    2. Getting my body fat percentage down to teens, from 26% to 19%
    3. Being able to have a 26 inch waist and to fit into size 25-26 inch jeans and size XS/XXS which the last time I had ever worn it was back when I was 11 years old! (I'll be 34 in April)

    I lost weight... I lost inches! I went from a size 16/18 pants to a size 10/12 and I can wear a medium size shirt.

    I moved out of a house, sold or gave away almost everything I owned and moved into an RV full-time (because I want to, not have to), and live in a campground where I volunteer for the Corps of Engineers in exchange for my lot rent and utilities - it's so liberating not to have to worry about bills.

    I ran/walked in 3 different 5Ks, improving my time with each one.

    I completed the first half of Insanity before I moved and had to change gyms.
