Yes, I know. Strange title for a blog, isn't it? Very random. I remember watching and interview with Chris Kattan and he did an impression of 3CPO. That is the line he said and every now and again, it comes to my mind and makes me laugh.  Anyway, moving on!

So this morning I was on my treadmill, and decided it was time to write another blog. First I want to thank you for reading, and second, my thoughts are random, and my own, and it helps to get everything out there.

So, anyone make any resolutions for this new year?  I'm always kind of torn about that. I try to live my life the best I can. The new year just kind of feels like you can start out with a fresh clean slate. Example...I have worked out every day this year! I mean really? How good does it feel to say that, right? I don't have a weight loss goal for myself this year. I have a "fit into these pants" kind of goal. You know, every year, I learn something new about myself. No matter how many times I say "the number on the scale doesn't matter",  it totally does! When I set a weight loss goal for myself anyway. I look for that constant feeling of accomplishment by each pound lost. Heaven forbid there isn't a loss, well, I just drill my mind as to why, what did I do wrong...blah, blah, blah. You know, that's kind of embarrassing to admit. The point of this blog is to be honest, because maybe some of you feel the same or can relate in some way. So, for me, I have learned I can not weigh myself with out setting some sort of number up in my mind. The last thing I want to do after working out and feeling good, is feel disappointed about a silly number. Honestly, why?

I would say, this had definitely been a year to remember. I was so privileged to meet Steven and Chris and to be on their show! Absolutely the highlight for sure! Other highlights were participating in the cops for cancer 5k and also the mothers day 5k! Looking forward to doing it again this year.  I also had the opportunity to meet some great ladies from twitter. We did weekly hill climbs and had a lot of fun! I also spent a lot of time on my bike! Looking forward to next summer an doing more of those things.

What I have learned from this past year, is that your mind is a very powerful tool. It can help you reach new heights and achieve things you never thought you could imagine. It also has the ability to bring you down, and keep you there. You need to decide, and make the choice. Think about what you want out of your life. What you want to achieve, and just go for it. It's not about the weight loss. It's about being happy and healthy and living your life.  You are as good as anybody else, and everyone had a right to be happy.

Thanks a lot for reading! Take care everyone, and all the best for 2013!!
