Old year ========> New Year

Well as we close off on 2010 I look back & I can't help but think.... what were my resolutions. Hmm well to be honest. I can't remember & since I didn't start this post till April, I can't really look back on that to tell me either.

2010 for me has been a year of ups & downs. I am mostly a laid back person. I just take it all day by day. I suppose to name the ups they would be that I decidedto take control of my weight & do something about it. Although I did well at this I did fall off the wagon so to speak a few months back when I reached one of my milestones & decided that life was too busy to keep it all up.
A major downer for me has been my job. I worked really hard Sometimes I think too hard & whilst I know that there are a few who recognised the effort I put in I really don't think that they were the ones who should have recognised it. So what did I do about that? I stepped back & down. and surprisingly I have a bit more time on my hands. I used to have the mentality that unless I was there it just wouldn't get done. Well i'm not doing it but things still seem to be working.

So what have I learnt during 2010 that I can carry over to the new year?

I've learnt that 2011 is a year to make the things happen that I want to happen. I have decided to further my education. I used to want to be a teacher but I am also interested in training. At the moment i'm more leaning towards the training aspect so I will start looking into courses to get me there.
I've also learnt that I can not give up on my weight loss. I feel so good when I am doing it so I absolutely can not drop the ball anymore than I have. I have set a goal for myself that by the end of June I would like to be down to 75kilos. So that's 6 months to loose roughly 10 kilos. I'm willing to take it slow and get there right. I will still follow the WW program (well the old one at least) because it worked so well for me but I will also be conscious of the fact that either when I start nearing my goal or when June rolls around that I will need to set some new goals so that I don't allow to happen what happened this year. I'll also reset my icon timeline thingie at the top of the page with my new goal so that we can see how I go & i'll do an update here at least once a week.

The old doormat in me is gone, no more time to consider what might have been, just time to consider what I will do..... p.s. I have dibs on the 31mil lotto draw on NYE......
