I have been thinking and scribbling on little pieces of paper all week what my goals will be. Normally I try to think of one big goal, but I get disappointed every year when I fail miserably at that goal by january 15th.
This year, I am taking a different approach, thanks to my friend hillary. I have jotted down several (I mean TONS) of goals I would like to accomplish in 2012. I wanted to call it my 2012 bucket list, but I am not planning on dyeing this year, so not sure what to call it. Maybe, 50 things to do in 2012?!?! I may not finish every goal, I may not even start some of them, but gosh darn it, I will accomplish at least one of them at some point in the year.
So here it is...

Wish me luck... this is going to be a productive year. Something that I am trying to learn is that it doesn't have to get done now, starting something is not bad. I often feel that if it does not get done NOW, what is the point in starting, hence the reason I need to loose so much weight. Its super annoying, and I would like to break that habbit... heres to progress!!

I love this post, you inspired me to work on a list for myself. I feel like I haven't made much progress from last year, but I also feel like I've changed a lot regardless. You can do anything you put your mind to Kristen, I just know it! Love ya friend!!
Wooo! That is a LOT of goals! Just make sure your check in with yourself (and us readers, if you want) to see how you're doing. :) Good luck my friend!
You are so inspiring. Happy 2012!
