So I had a Debbie Downer post up before that I quickly took down. I was in a bad mood/sick/my back hurt, and I just wasn’t feeling New Year’s.

A nice answer to a question I posed in that post turned things around, and I got my nails done, bought some champagne and now am getting ready to party like a rockstar. After all…

THIS WAS THE YEAR I DID IT!

I lost 47 pounds!

January 1 of last year, I said I was going to do it. I started going back to the gym. I even remember calling up to reserve a bike in spin class, being told class was full, and saying to my coworkers, “How am I ever going to keep up a resolution if they won’t let me in to spin class?”

Things quickly went downhill from there. Until February 17, when I turned my life around by showing up for my first training session with Joel. Since then, I’ve burned approximately a gazillion calories, losing 47 pounds in the process. I’ve run 2 5Ks, a 10K, a 15K and a 10-miler! I wore bikinis in Aruba. I wasn’t the fat bridesmaid. I made lots of friends and dated lots of guys (!). I got an article published for a magazine I’ve always wanted to write for. Mostly importantly, I learned about myself.

So now, I’m going to take all that learning and shake my booty on the dance floor!

HAPPY 2010!!!!

Make this the year YOU do it! And thanks to everyone for their support!
