I know we are supposed to make changes all year and constantly work to improve ourselves, but I am a sucker for fresh starts, but before I can do that I like to reflect on the past year, where I was and where I am now. Then I can focus on where I want to be.
On Christmas Eve, I sat down and thought about where I was at last Christmas Eve.
Rewind to 2012...I was 2 weeks out from the surgery on my knee, not able to work out i.e. getting to the point of being pretty miserable. A long, very emotional relationship had finally come to an end, I had just started my new job and was unsure and insecure about where it would go. I was working 7 days a week, spent almost no time with friends, and had no idea (still) how to deal with my relatively newly separated family during the Holidays. I remember waitressing until 8pm on Xmas eve and staying home alone because I had a panic attack and couldn't imagine going out. I almost stayed home on Christmas- to be honest, I look back and barely recognize myself and it's only been a year!
Where am I at now?
I have never been in better shape and Crossfit has become something I not only enjoy immensely, but also have been able to actively watch myself improve and grow in.
This year's Holidays were seamless and I got to spend time with my family with no stress and lots of love.
I COULD NOT be more happy in my career, my job, my coworkers; it has become my second family, and financially I don't think I could be more grateful.
I am proud and feel so incredibly blessed to have had such a wonderful year, with wonderful people and for being able to grow in every aspect of my life.
Now it's time to leave the past where it belongs and work on my goals for the year ahead. Stay tuned for that list next week! :)
Where were you a year ago? Where do you want to be a year from now?
