1. Get in shape (for real this time)
2. Stop biting my nails
3. Continue to be happy
I can say that I successfully accomplished 2/3 of these this year.
#1: My physique may not ever resemble that of when I was swimming 5 days a week for 2 hours a day, but I am in my best post-swimming shape. In 2017 I learned that I can't just do cardio and expect to see the results I want. I thought lifting would make me bulky but what I realized once I got over my fear of the weights is that it actually helps a lot (duh... that's why people are always in the weight section of the gym). For 2018 my goal is to work on my arms and core.
#2: I failed at this again and I fail every year. Biting my nails isn't something I always even recognize I'm doing. Sometimes I may go a long time without biting them and then I look down and I realize I've done it again. It's part a subconscious thing, part coping method for stress. For 2018 my goal is to be more aware of when I'm biting my nails so I can stop.
#3: WOO I did it. 2017 had it's ups and downs like any year but I can honestly say that this year was pretty great. I did a lot, traveled, hung out with my best friends, continued my studies, and overall just became a better version of myself. For 2018 my goal is to continue to be happy and hopefully help make other people happy.
My winter break seems to be flying by but I have thoroughly enjoyed the rest and relaxation, traveling with my family, and getting to see David and my friends for NYE. My next semester is going to be pretty busy, too, but I know 2018 is going to be a great year.
Happy New Year everyone, I will see you in 2018!
Until next time,
Taylor xx
