As my birthday is fast approaching, as well as a new year, I like to start thinking about the goals I made last year around this time and start planning and revising some for the upcoming year.
2012 Goals Reviewed
1. Run 1500km, aprox 1000 miles.
– This goal was completely, NOT obtained. I was right on track up until May when I was injured/sick…and it went downhill from there. I would like to keep this goal to try again this year. It is not unattainable, I must just be consistent.
2. Run a half marathon in less than 2 hours 45 minutes (my PR is 2:56).
UPDATED: My lovely friend and running buddy informed me my latest PR was 2:49:13….Close!
3. Do yoga once a week.
– I did this from Jan-end of feb., fell away from it, and now I am back at it in Nov-december. I would prefer to widen this goal to a fitness class once a week this year!
4. Eat a bigger variety of leafy greens.
– Done and done. I introduced MANY new greens into my life this year! Kale, Arugula, Swiss Chard…just to name a few.
5. Loose 30 lbs.
– INSERT CROWD LAUGHTER HERE. Absolutely, 100% did NOT fly. In fact. I gained 15 pounds this year. 😦 No more pressure for a number, just to live healthfully and hopfully loose weight in the process.
6. Get ‘fitter’ arms.
– NEGATORY. Arms are just as BLAH as ever. 😉
7. Eat out less than 2 times a month.
– ANOTHER Negatory.
8. Go on more dates with my husband.
– Sort of. Have had more ‘formal’ dates lately!
9. Take a photography class.
– Signed up, and didn’t attend. Went shopping for a bridal gown with a dear friend instead. Don’t regret it at all. I have been expanding my practice though. Still hope to take a class this year!
10. Drink more water.
– Done. 3-4 Litres a day makes my body happy!
11. Pay off visa and Graeme’s education.
– I could cry over this one. Paying FOR Graeme’s education…which has put debt repayment on the back burner for a bit.
12. Obtain no new debt.
– SOME new debt with school. Small loan to help pay what I couldn’t come up with on time!
13. Floss daily.
– BAHHHH!!! I did this EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. until JUNE!!!! Then I got an abraison on my gums and the dentist made me stop flossing for a few weeks and I fell off track!
14. Go to the dentist. (!!!)
-DONE!
