My Goals, My Dreams and My Aspirations

If I could paint the future and color each day of my life in radiance and boldness, then this is how I would predict 2011 to look for me...my goals, my dreams, and my aspirations.

First, I will have the last of my debt paid off! Causing ALL harassing debt collectors to stop waking me up at 6am!! Then I will begin to rebuild my credit.

Secondly, I will have hit my goal weight and achieved lifetime status at weight watcher! I will be in such impeccable shape because I will have had a personal trainer and will have broken all of my terrible eating habits!

Having achieved the above goal, I will then apply for AND get the job as a weight watchers leader due to not only my commitment and my positive energy, but also my ability to motivate and inspire others!!

Thirdly, not only will I be in impeccable shape because of my eating habits and the help of a personal trainer, but also because I will be training for and will complete the Chicago Marathon in October. As well as a number of other races throughout the year.

Fourthly, I will have re-enrolled in school and have started on the path to becoming a paramedic. I will have completed all requirements to be and EMT-B by the end of the year, and signed up for the EMT national exam. Also I will outline and design the next step in my schooling career, whether it be a registered dietian or a personal trainer. Or both! :)

Anyway. Those are just a few of the things I want to accomplish this year. And by the grace of God I will.

Rewind and Reflect

Its crazy to think that yet another year has come and is soon to be over! 2010 has proved itself to be quite a year! A fruitful and life changing year. Although this year came with its own challenges, overall I'm blessed and grateful for everything that took place.

I have learned more about who I am and who I am meant to be than I have at any other point in my life. I have walked through the deepest valleys and have danced on the highest of mountain tops. And through it all I have been blessed to draw closer to God than ever before.

I just want to share with you really quickly some of the highlights that I have experienced this year. These moments have been ones that have brought great pleasure and a sense of accomplishment.

• January: I began to desire change in my life
• February: I joined Weight Watchers and began my Weight Loss Journey
• April: I re-joined LA Fitness and my commitment to exercise
• May: Walked my first 5k
• June: Lost a total of 40lbs!
• August: Lost a total of 50lbs!!
• September: Ran my first 5k race
• October: Fit into a size 16 Missy pant (started in a size 22/24 women's!)
• November: Ran my second 5k race, and improved my time by 6 minutes and 5 seconds!
• December: Stared in Miracle on 34th Street as "Doris Walker" with the Oswego Playhouse.
• And as of this moment I have currently lost a total of 65 pounds this year!! :)

Those are the major events and milestones of 2010. Its so great to look back and see all that I have accomplished! It makes me so proud of me! And I cannot wait for this next year an all the things it holds for me.

Thank you again to everyone who has supported me throughout this year and this journey. It could not be possible without you and your words of encouragements. I pray that you will continue to be inspired by commitment and that you will continue to stand with me throughout 2011. Many blessings and Happy New Year!
