2015 New Year Resolutions

[Djmohr 6,965]

Great topic!

This last year was exciting for me and 2015 will be even better!

Last year we went on a few family vacations and my family is extremely caring about me. I have psoriatic arthritis for years and it has damaged some of my joints. At my largest weight I was 310 and in horrible pain everyday. I refuse to take pain meds because they simply amplify that pain and have horrible side effects. So, if there was something I could not do, they refused to do it without me. That meant many times I would try things I shouldn't be and end up in so much pain it was hard to enjoy my vacation and they spent the whole time asking me if I was ok.

That is no longer the case after dropping over 60lbs. I move so much faster that I find myself having to slow down and ask my hubby if he is ok.

In February we are taking my family to Hawaii! We have a lot of activities planned and I will not be the one that holds everyone up.

In the spring I want to be able to ride a bike again and have been building stamina and balance in my exercise program so I can accomplish this.

I am going to get to my goal weight before my surgiversary.

I was layed off last April from a job that I had been at for 25 years as a sr. Director. That job created so much stress in my life. Another goal will be to move my family from its current location in Minneapolis to Nevada. Once there I will land a good job doing what I love most.

Cannot wait for this next year, it is going to be a great one!

Happy New Year everyone!
