I never thought I could...

2012 has proved to be a year for me to do things I never thought I could. I never thought I could make the life changes needed to lose the weight I needed to get myself healthy, but I have. I took steps that have made mine and my family's life better. So here is a list of things I never thought I could do, but did in 2012.

*Walk 50 miles in a month, completed in June.

*Run a mile. Have now done several times and working on getting my time down.

*Complete and intense workout program. We finished Insanity (which some fit people are scared to do) a week ago.

*Lose 50lbs by my brother's wedding. I lost 60lbs by then.

*Keep up with healthy life changes. In February I decided to make changes and have kept up with them.

I didn't think I could do these. But I did. I worked my butt off and have seen the good side of that. For once I have kept some of my New Year's resolutions and am so happy about it. So I am planning for 2013 now. Tomorrow I will write about my next set of goals. I don't like the term resolutions, it just sounds so boring and business like. I prefer to call them goals. It sounds more doable then.

Other things that happened in 2012
