New Year, New Me

as i look back on 2012 i am overwhelmed with the many amazing opportunities that i had, and all that i accomplished.  i am sometimes discouraged when i see other people succeeding or doing amazing things with their lives because i feel as if i am not up to par with them. but, looking back i am realizing that i have done a lot to be proud of.  no, it wasn't all fun and games - there were a lot of trials but it was all very worth it and i learned SO much. i am looking forward to 2013 and all that i hope to accomplish throughout this year.

i have decided that i want to make a few lists (we all know i love lists! ;)) about what i have accomplished in the past year that i am proud of, and a few resolutions (or not so few) that i have for this upcoming year.

2012 accomplishments:

1. became a certified personal trainer through ISSA and attended a fitness conference through ISSA in Orlando, Florida.
2. survived my first year of college and living away from home
3. became a member of the Utah State Spirit Squad again
4. worked my little fanny off all summer at the mosquito abatement and at GPP
5. hit my goal weight
6. started a fitness blog
7. got my first string of double unders
8. became the trainer for the Utah State Spirit Squad
9. made tons of new friends
10. overcame trials that at the time seemed impossible

2013 goals:

health/fitness related:

1. maintain goal weight
2. be able to do strict pullups
3. participate in a race of my choice (ex - tough mudder, half marathon, dirty dash..)

education related:

1. better grades
2. stay on track to finish up my schooling by next summer
3. take every opportunity to continue to learn more and more about health and fitness

1. love myself
2. don't worry about the little things
3. always remember how blessed i am to have so many amazing opportunities.

5. become the best personal trainer i can be :)

i hope to be able to better myself this year and take every opportunity i am given to learn. i am not a huge fan of the school part of college and i often complain, but all in all i am very grateful to have to opportunity to get a good education from Utah State.

so, here's to the new year! 

what are some of your goals for 2013? what makes you proud from 2012?
