So, it's been a whole year since I started this blog. Actually it's been a little longer then that. As I said in my birthday post last year I like to start reflecting a bit on my life at my birthday and kind of do a stock check of where things are at.
Let's start with what I currently look like.

So, for this reflection let us take a gander at this. My list of goals for my first year post op.
1- Go to the gym three days a week for the month of January. (They say it takes 30 days to make or break a habit, so I'm hoping to create this habit.) I haven't managed to make it to the gym three days in a week in a very long time. I have however found numerous other ways to fit in exercise here and there.
2- Wear size 12s by my birthday on October 30th. (Actually hoping for a size 10, but 12 will do.) Guess who is currently wearing 12's and really needs to get to a store and try on some 10s? I think I'm going to do that tonight actually! How super cool would that be to be in 10s by my birthday as I wished?!?!?
3- I want to be able to run an entire mile by 2013. I don't care if it takes me twenty minutes to do it (the amount of time it currently takes me to walk a mile)--- I just want to be able to run a mile. Well, I haven't tried this one either. Now that the weather is cool out again my knee is killing me. I was so hoping that will my weight loss it would stop hurting so much... Oh well.
4- Buy a pair of Coach sneakers to celebrate when I hit 50 pounds gone for good!! Not only did I buy my pair of Coach sneakers, I was able to buy TWO pairs!
5- Get a massage because my body has been through hell and back and deserves it This one is coming soon. I'm secretly hoping for a giftcard for my birthday... However not holding my breath.6- Get my hair trimmed more then twice this year. (The last three years I've managed two trims/cuts a year.) I think I've managed two trims this year, but technically I still have a few months from when I made this list to make it a year.

7- Maintain a GPA of at least 3.5 I'm killing myself for this one, but so far I think i'm at a 3.6.
Now I think that is a pretty successful list!
I've also gained back confidence, gotten involved with the WLS community more, shopping where I want, being able to bend over to tie my shoes.. Just able to do soooo much.
And I met the man I want to spend forever with.
Tell me, how could this year possibly get any better?
