2011

In 2011, I

• got yelled at and threatened with blood pressure meds by my doctor in February
• got an iPod for Mother's Day
• went to Florida in May
• broke my arm in August
• walked five miles in one day in September
• saw Sting perform at the Fox Theater in November
• dealt with car issues, family issues, and personal issues all stinkin' year
• lost 128.3 pounds, which is 36.75% of my original body weight
• lost 11 inches off my hips, 10.5 inches off my waist, and 11.5 inches off my bust
• lost control several times, but wrestled it back into my corner every time

I don't know specifically what 2012 will bring. I know it will bring more stress, because that's the way life is. But I also know that I will have to deal with that, because letting it run roughshod over me doesn't really help.
