Stomp 2014

Hello 2014 I am looking at this year differently. Usually I am sad that another year has ended and I had not lost weight. I am starting the new year having lost 35 lbs. and I am on fire to burn more. I have been thinking about what I want to improve and discover this year. I love a new year filled of new blessings and promises. It is what I make of it.

What accomplishment are you proud of that occurred this past year?
I'd like to share some of mine:
I lost 35 lbs.
I conquered my fear and I can now walk alone in public. ( I must tell you that story soon)
I conquered my fear and I used the weight machines at the gym.
I conquered my fear and opened this blog.
I improved my swimming skills.
I am no longer afraid to swim alone. I was afraid there would be a sea monster in the pool. Really.
I discovered I like to write. I don't know if I'm any good, but I like it. Haha! I do make myself laugh.
Our son moved onto a regular classroom 100% of the day and out of special education. Woot!
After attending one painting session at Pinot's Pallet in May, I took four painting classes. It's now one of my creative outlets. I'm by no means an artist, but I love it.
I smile at strangers for no reason. I'm in hopes to brighten their day for a moment. No one has rolled their eyes yet.
I can drink 10 glasses of water and now I know I won't drown.
I started to redecorate my house bit by bit.
The husband and I were baptized. My walk with God is closer than ever.
I started my first ever devotional and enjoy everything I have learned from the bible. It has given me peace.

What are your goals for this coming year?
My goals for 2014:
I will lose 65 more lbs.
I will continue to volunteer.
I will not wait 4 months in between eyebrow waxes and color my hair.
I will get a pedicure even in the winter months without guilt. I usually just get them in the summer.
I'd love to learn something new. I'm thinking crochet will be it for me.
Read a new devotional by Sarah Loving.
Conquer my fear to ride my bike alone.
I'm sure there loads more.

Happy New Year to you! Be happy. It's up to you.
