Goodbye 2010

Ok, so 2010 was an excellent year for me. Here's what I want to accomplish in 2011:

1.) Run a 5K
2.) Run a 10K
3.) Participate in a Yogathon
4.) See one of the seven wonders of the world
5.) Visit three countries other than Canada
6.) Get to goal weight of 130 lbs
7.) Pay off credit card debt
8.) Be able to do the splits
9.) Learn to meditate
10.) Be able to do a headstand

Happy New Year Everyone!

I cannot believe that 2010 is over! Done and done!

I have had such an excellent year - losing the weight, buying my first condo, getting accepted into my masters program. All in all it was been such a monumental year.

And now, it's 2011 - and I am 26 years old. I am going to work really hard on those goals I made for myself, I will continue to work like a dawg, and I will enjoy my life - not let people bring me down.

I am ready for 2011. Bring it on!

Back to Reality...

I am back home from my Christmas family vacation that was filled with wine, chocolate and very little movement (with the exception of shopping). I sure burned up my credit card. But I am ready now, to get back to the grind, to real life, hard work and to my dedication to my health.

I went to two yoga classes today, and plan to go to yoga everyday until Monday, as well as go to the gym until I go back to work next week. Today in yoga, I did a modified head stand that looked a little something like this:



I can't wait until I can do a real headstand - with no wall- that will be the day.

The good news is that I stepped on the scale today and I am still at 170 lbs - so I didn't gain any weight over the holidays - which is surprising! However, on boxing day I did shop for 12 hours straight... so, perhaps shopping does burn more than just my credit card?

I did a lot of thinking today about the year 2010 - how great it was for me and how I plan to make 2011 as good as this last year. I have done such a wonderful job of setting myself up for success in 2011 - with the new condo, the 60 lb weight loss, doing my Masters... so I really have no choice but to follow through with all this goodness I've prepared for myself.

Like I say, I have got some sweet goals set up for 2011 and will be sharing them here on Dec 31st. PLUS, I plan to literally hit the ground running in 2011 and am registering for a 5K on Jan 1! I think I my be a little nuts! More to come...

Dec 28th

Wow, Can you believe there is only 3 says left of project, "rescuing Lisa"?

I sure can't.... any guesses as to what I weigh?

At this point I have no idea. All I know is that I have been moving very little, I have been drinking too much wine, and that I am registering for a 5K on New Years Day... WHAT?

Thats right. Let's hope I don't step on the scale when I get home tomorrow and find that I weigh 180 lbs.

YIKES... I AM SCARED!

No Scale???

So, my folks don't have a bathroom scale, and it is really starting to freak me out. I have been indulging a fair bit while on vacation.

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is my health, please don't let me gain any weight.

Love,

Lisa

Sweet Dreams

Ok, so I have this reoccurring dream about an ex of mine, who at one point in time made a mention of my weight... I know it is immature to think about what happened back when I was 16, but hey... that kind of stuff sure sticks with you. Thank gawd I am no longer 16.....

But I had a dream last night, of him, in all his hotness (again... you would think I am 16 again - but I am not!)

I have something to prove folks - I have to lose the lat 35 lbs. I have to lose it and then run into this guy. This would be the ultimate revenge - to run into my ex at 130 lbs, looking all buff and wonderful... "oh hey, how are you"? ( I would say...)

Who was it that said that the best revenge you can ever have on a person is good health... ???? Well, they're right... There is nothing I want more after that dream I had last night.

Good health, is there anything it isn't good for?
