I’ll go first.

  1. The chicken incident.
  2. Didn’t listen to an entire Nickelback song.
  3. Zero slices of pizza. 
  4. Flew 48 times.
  5. Called Jed and Pa tools on Fox News. 
  6. Moved away from Arkansas for the first time in 20 years.
  7. Second Ironman.
  8. Learned to enjoy hockey.
  9. Slept without a nightlight at least five or six times.
  10. Ignored approximately 85% of mean anonymous commenters. (going for 90% in 2012)
  11. Refrained from tweeting about Tim Tebow. 

Ok Ben, here we go…

  1. Finished 2 half-marathons.  Mainly walked, but hey, I still finished
  2. Lost 30 pounds
  3. Drank more water than soda for the first time in 7 years
  4. Visited family more often - total of 15 roadtrips
  5. Worked PT this summer and spent more time with my kids - worth EVERY minute
  6. Started running - haven’t done that since 1981
  7. Saw movies when they were released vs. years later on cable
  8. Encouraged my daughter to run, and watched her excel
  9. Made my schedule at one job “officially” PT so I can continue to spend time with the kids in 2012
  10. Bought clothes AND tried them on in the store (that’s huge for me!)
  11. Decorated the house for the holidays in early December vs. 2 days before Christmas

I know, may not seem like a lot but those are big for me.

Happy New Year!
