Seeing as it's January first, I thought we could share and reflect on some of the things we accomplished in 2012. It can be both weight related or not. Whatever you feel like sharing!
I personally, lost 14 pounds. I started my weight loss journey in November though, so I feel really great about it. It's only going to keep going down too since I didn't really gain anything over the holidays. I feel great about it.
The second thing I accomplished was I finally started my business degree. I go to school full time and work a full time job 8-5, so I feel really proud that I can accomplish so much all in unison. It makes me feel like a stronger person.
...lost almost 40 pounds.
...brought my mile time down from 14/15 minutes to just under 12.
...cut out soda.
...completed an internship.
...graduated from college.
...got my first "real" job.
...moved out on my own and have been living with two roommates since June.
...wrote an article that was published in my school's research magazine.
...got past my first big heartbreak.
...learned to be strong and independent.
...set bigger goals for myself.
...learned that whatever I set my mind to, I can accomplish.
I finished my first year and a half of law school, have secured sassy summer associate position, have gotten onto and haven't gotten kicked off of law review, won my election for assistant managing editor, took up running again and have my mile back to just over 8 (looking for 7:30 this year. would love to break 7), and have managed to stay in touch with lovely friends.
hmmm... my only big accomplishment this year is that i moved out to Tokyo and got a new job all on my own. I only started my weight-loss at the end of the year, so I don't think it should be counted as an "accomplishment" since it was just starting
