    2012 was always going to be the year I started doing things for myself (turning 30 and youngest child starting school), but I started my lifestyle change and study plans early. So now I want to push myself and achieve something I never in a million years would have ever thought I could do.

    So my goal is to do 1000 burpees on my 30th birthday in June, at my halfway point for that goal (end of March) I plan to do 500 burpees as a practise run for the real thing.

    Aside from that, I plan to keep working on my strength and fitness and continue studying towards my diploma of justice.

    2011 -- reduced my blood pressure to normal range, cut blood pressure meds in half
    2012 -- maintain blood pressure in normal range, (controlling salt seems to be the ticket), eliminate bp meds if appropriate

    2011 -- reduced all cholesterol measures into normal range
    2012 -- maintain the normal range and begin reducing the cholesterol meds

    2011 -- loose 15 pounds, lost 30 pounds - moved from obese to overweight
    2012 -- maintain 30 pound loss, evaluate in the spring to possibly lose an additional 10 lbs.

    2011 -- Weight bearing 2-3 times per week (45-60 per time), aerobic 2-3 times per week (30 minutes per time)
    2012 -- Maintain the structured exercise, add more recreational activity (in particular bicyling with friends)

    2012 -- Continue to take meds and vitamins as perscribed, continue healthy habits which will help me stay cancer free, have a strong immune system should I need it, have a strong body should surgery be required; appreciate life, family, friends, work and activity.

    Have a healthy, happy, and productive 2012!
