Wrappin' up 2009 & headin' into 2010

I was kinda feeling like a blog hog there - so I'm really happy that everyone is posting again. It was a hard year for me. I've been working horrible hours at work trying to keep employed. All of those hours have really prevented me from doing anything but work, eat, walk/swim and sleep. I have missed blogging, crocheting and cooking.

But on a happy note - Here's where we ended up last year:

• I have no limp and walk 90 min at 3.3 miles an hour
• I’ve dropped over 50 pounds
• I can swim two miles
• Wearing clothing that I’ve not worn in 20 years
• Hiking 5-10 miles on the weekends
• Walked across the Carquinez & Benicia Bridges
• Walked a 5K
• Donated a squillion pieces of clothing & linens to the women’s shelter
• Donated a squillion books and CD to my grandmother’s assisted living facility & the library
• Gutted and cleaned two rooms of my house
• Got all the kitchen cupboards cleaned up and organized (I don't need to shop for legumes, grains or baking supplies for 10 years!)

So... 2010. I do have some larger goals this year in addition to my smaller monthly goals. I've happily gotten a new position at the bank and have my life back - so I think I'll have a better year and really be able to focus on some of my challenges again.

• I've signed up for a 9 mile walk in Big Sur at the end of April. My goal is to walk the 9 miles in three hours. I've been training for 3 months so far... so we'll see.
• I'm walking 3 5K's this year. One in Phoenix, one in Napa and the boob walk again in SF.
• I'd like to drop some more weight
• Because of the crazy hours - I've not been focusing on my eating. So this is back on my radar - Posting my bento photos on Facebook has been helping.

Thanks for the motivation all!
