2011: its almost over (thank god)!!!

I was going to make this long post abt the ups and downs of this horrendous, no good year but since it's so close to it being over, Ive decided to j let things go. its been bad enough and I j need to let things go and move on!  Whatever happened happened and theres nothing I can doto change it and im j ruining my head and body by still stressing abt all that nonsense.  

From this point forward, I am looking ahead to 2012 and all the amazing things that will come in the new year!!!!

I am soso excited about 2012. its also my 26th birthday in roughly 6hrs/15 mins and I cant wait! So many great things to look forward to in 2012-- Summer Olympics, hopefully passing the bar, moving out of NC/back to VA, running more/new races, the possibilities are endless.  I have the power to make 2012 amazing and happy. I came up w a few resolutions for 2012 during my run this morning that I'd like to share:

• Stop letting calorie counting run my life and make healthy choices re: food
• Living a healthy lifestyle of various exercise & eating healthy
• doesnt necessarily mean cutting out all the good things in life but j having like 4 pizza rolls instead of 10
• trying new forms of exercise-- my mom got me an exercise bike for my bday and I've started some dvd workouts too!
• Stay focused and motivated in my ultimate career goals (i.e. passing A bar exam, finding my 'happy job', moving back to VA)
• control my temper and improve my familial relationships
• Run at least 2 half marathons (1 new one!) and at least 2 races longer than 5Ks (i.e. 8K, 10K, or 15K)

Ultimately, 2012 has the likelihood to be amazing and life changing.  Im looking forward to change for once in my life and get through each day w a smile on my face!!

Happy New Year friends! I can't wait for it to get here!
