Goodbye 2010, Hello 2011!

One of my favorite things about this time of year are the year-end lists.  Magazines, web sites, newspapers, count down the top ten movies of the year or the top stories of the year.  I like to read over these and remember little tidbits that I had forgotten.  Like did you remember that 2010 was the year LOST ended and Rue McClanahan died? That's both crazy and sad.

So I thought I do a little year-end wrap up here on the blog as well. A top five healthy living memories list from my life:
2010 was the year that I:
5) Climbed the rock wall at Winthrop.
4) Sweated it out in the Insanity workout program with Shaun T and a bunch of crazy co-workers.
3) Went on a beach vacation with my family and to Las Vegas with friends and enjoyed good food. Then came home and got right back on track with my weight loss. (An amazing feat of strength!)
2) Made it to 90 pounds lost and bought my victory boots.
1) Ran my first 5k, my second 5k and my first 10k.  I guess you could say I caught the racing bug.


The other great thing about the end of the year is that it is no time to rest on your laurels.  It's also a great time to look ahead and set new goals. In 2011, I will:
1) Lose 100 + pounds.
2) Visit England and France and my friend Stephanie Hardy.
3) Run my 2nd 10k (January 22nd!) and hopefully a sprint triathlon. I'm still thinking about a half marathon. Maybe.
4) Visit the doctor for a physical for the first time in two years.
5) Celebrate my parents' 40 years of marriage!
6) Read the entire Bible.


What are you proud of from the past year and what do you hope to accomplish in the next year?  Share in the comments section below! It could be anything, please don't feel your accomplishments need to be limited by feats of strength or healthy eating.
