2011 - reflections of a lost year...

Despite the title this is not a pity party blog, but is just a reflection of how I feel about 2011.


I am calling it the lost year, because I haven't made any major steps forward this year. I am not saying I regret the year or that I want to forget the year... I had good times, but as far as my goals are concerned I didn't make progress..


Fitness & Nutrition:
I feel like this year I have re-instated all of the bad habits that I had managed to overcome, my food habits have become worse, my alcohol intake has increased and my gym consistency has reduced.


Mental Clarity:
My determination and focus has disappeared this year. I didn't set 'true' goals so I had nothing to focus on. The mindset of 'I'll do it tomorrow..' has seriously kicked my ass and caused me to procrastinate over everything and never really get anything done.


Stats:
Jan 2011 - weight 154.4lbs, Body Fat 29.1%
Dec 2011 - weight 157.8, Body Fat 30.2%
Feb 2011 - Chest 95cm, Belly Button 83cm, Hips 102cm
Dec 2011 - Chest 102cm, Belly button 94cm, Hips 107cm

Family & Relationships:
Me & Matt... still spot on, still love him, still enjoying our life together, still on the same path and wanting the same things - what more do I say. Tt is still great, our life together is great... if I had to pick something then I would say more sex would be good - cheeky ;-)


Career:
I have taken a step forward in my career by getting rid of my victim mindset. I realised that I do enjoy what I do and that I am good enough at it. I do make mistakes (as do others) but I manage to shake them off easier than before meaning that I don't get hung up on them and cause a great big mist of negativity around me. I still need to keep my fingers tightly crossed when redundancies come round.

Extras:
I had an amazing holiday to Thailand and I am so looking forward to going back there in the future!
I had a trip to London and did all the touristy things - it was great
I am now an external carer for my parent-in laws and the things I am doing is making they're lives better
We took a weekend trip to De Vere Carden Park to play golf
I have been on a trip to Turkey and visited some old friends, took the in-laws - it was a good trip, lots of memories.
We have learned to be able to manage Laika's (my dog) stomach problems through a clean diet! 
I had a dramatic hair dye appointment and became red and love it!
