    My 2012 personal goals:

    - improve strength (unsuccessful attempt at 30 Day Shred this year - it killed my knees!)
    Action: yoga 3x weekly for the next 6 weeks, plus wall-sit 10 min/week adding 2 min each week

    - beat 2 hr time goal in Half Marathon, hopefully finish my weight loss in 2012 so that I can try for a 50k in 2013!
    Action: this will be a post-Vday goal

    - bring my body fat below 25%
    Action: keep up the weight loss, get a "dunk" test prior to 2/14

    - devote more time/energy to my friendships - a tough lesson learned this past year when I discovered the "real" friends
    Action: hmmm, invite a friend for coffee/dinner/hangout each week

    - continue to find alternate coping strategies which DON'T include emotional eating
    Action: log it in MFP instead!

    - help my mom find the motivation to improve her own weight :flowerforyou: I love her dearly but I learned some very disfunctional eating habits and poor body image issues from her

    3. Start drinking LOTS of water and keep with it for longer than 3 days
    4. Get our finances in order, pay down the credit cards, and put myself through the online school I've been wanting to

    These are some of my goals for 2012:

    1. Find a way to lower anxiety-- something that does not involve food or alcohol. Exercise helps immensely, but there is a limit to how much I can do. Plus I need to stop those self-flogging thoughts that hit me early in the morning.

    2. Lose 12 pounds (the EASY part), AND KEEP IT OFF. My goal is to be 139.999999 pounds or under. This is where I feel my best, look my best, and have the most confidence. Come ON, Tonya, its only 12 pounds. Get there and STAY THERE!

    3. Cut the negativity. Cut the controlling. TRUST.

    4. Clean out that garage.

    5. Limit non-work computer usage to 1 hour per day.

    6. When watching TV, get up during every commercial and tidy something or do some jumping jacks, or lift some weights.

    7. Be more patient with my mother, my husband, my kids, and pretty much everyone.
