December in Review, 2012 Wrap Up and January Goals

Time for a quick wrap on 2012.

December was more successful.  If my quick look back is accurate, I dropped 19 pounds.  Granted that I had put on some in previous months, but I still ended the year at a new low.  I think I'm down 111 pounds total from my worst official weight.

The exercise front has also been successful beyond my wildest dreams, and most of my losses can be attributed to that.  I've been able to walk nearly every day (thank you mother nature) and have been stretching the walks out because - much to my shock - I have found that I truly love a good walk early in the morning.

I failed miserably at my goal of being more organized at work.  I'm doing a bit better at home though.

It's been a roller coaster ride the past couple of weeks.  I had been in a great place mentally for the entire year until the holidays hit.  I have survived and I hope to be in a spot where they don't come back next year. That's where my new year's resolutions and goals come in.

January goals:

1.  Lose 15 pounds.  This is the standard, and one which I need to meet to accomplish my longer term goals.  There is absolutely no way I will fail if I keep getting in good walks and avoid bingeing.

2.  Continue the exercise.  I say 15 days minimum but in reality I want to at least walk every day the weather permits (and indoors when possible on days it does not.  Oh how I wish I could afford a gym membership for the winter even though I hate treadmills).

3.  Fix the work flow at work.

2013 goals:

1.  Lose a bunch more weight.  I have a specific number in mind but I don't feel the need to post it.  It should suffice to say that there is still a bunch to go.

2.  Start a couch-to-5k program and soon.  I'm going to take it super slow.

3.  Do a 5k, just because I can.  I have one picked out the first weekend in May - if the weather permits me to be ready.

4.  There are some social goals to be accomplished as well but they are far beyond the scope of this blog.
