Well, it's almost the end of the year and time to assess my success and failures for 2004.

Overall, I'm pleased with my progress this year. I have lost 38 pounds and while it's not as much as I'd hoped, it's better than having lost nothing at all.

I've managed to exercise more this year than in any other year of my adult life. I've even enjoyed most of it...although it will probably never be my favorite thing. I still manage to find excuses to not exercise, but I'm going to work on that in the coming weeks. When I fail to get to the gym, I'm only hurting myself, and I'm ready to stop doing that.

I certainly feel better at the end of this year than at the end of last year. I have more energy, confidence, and am generally a happier person.

So, health-wise, 2004 was pretty darn great.

My goals for the next year...

1. Lose 5 pounds...12 times...for a total of at least 60 pounds.
2. Get to the gym regularly for my "Me" time.
3. Increase my cardio to at least 3x/week.
4. Begin walking every morning...daily "wake-up" time.
5. Increase my water intake.
6. Have a fabulous time in Scotland this summer.
7. Continue to learn along with my students and continue to enjoy each and every one of them.
8. Journal at least 5x/week.
9. Be a happy and healthy me.

TTFN!!
