Ok-2014 accomplishments for me- new job with a promotion that I really love. Its a great company and in the same field Ive always worked in with a ton of potential. And I finally reached my goal weight loss. Im officially down 65lbs this year. Yes, I realize this is a shameless AW too but I don't give a shit. Im proud of me!
2015- get that next promotion at work that supposedly already has my name on it and Im training for a fitness competition at the end of the year (hopefully). I have some great people on my team to support me and I hope I don't screw it up.
What are you excited/happy about from 2014? goals for 2015?
2014 - became financially secure - while at the same time really focusing on enjoying our life and taking every opportunity to do all the fun things. It has been amazing and I feel so lucky.
2014 was amazing for me. I had Alex and I got my PhD. And got approved for tenure in my evaluation (which I'll get in 2015). Goals for 2015: save money for our big house renovation, publish a paper, get back into running and run another half marathon.
2014-I didn't drop the 10 lbs. I did have a goal of moving up professionally and I am in the middle of promotion paperwork. I also only have one more class with my masters program so I was able to truck along and survive another year.
2015-Once my masters is finished I want to cultivate my own hobbies again and focus that energy into something good for myself. Oh and drop 10 lbs lol.
H and I have already coined 2015 the year of us. We both have been working on career advancements. We have both been patient. We have been calculated. I think it is going to happen for both of us this year. $$$

2014 kicked ass. My whole life is a lot better than it was this time last year. I started a new job with a lot less stress and more money, moved to an awesome part of town, and moved in with BF, which has been great.
2015 - I'd like to get a great work evaluation at my contract renewal, be an awesome bridesmaid in 3 weddings, lose some weight (maybe start running?), keep the house clean (lol), and maybe get a pup? I'm also looking forward to being engaged (hopefully!).

2014: we accomplished a shit-ton of house projects and paid down some debt. We both did well at work. It has been a good year, albeit a stressful one. #soblessed #chipotleblessed
2015: I would like to delve into more personal goals, including going back to school, finding a charity I'm passionate about, and get back to traveling. We are in a pretty good financial place, but I'd like to improve that, too.
2014: Diagnosed more medical issues. It hasn't been a great year. I did start learning to quilt. 2015: Find a job. Keep quilting. Manage medical issues. Do things that make me happy. I might start a blog.
2014 accomplishments: Took new position with raise; managed to keep baby alive for one whole year; did not kill husband after having said baby; got myself into therapy for my PPA/D.
2015 goals: Get more focused at work, thus resulting in another raise; continue keeping baby alive and well; re-join Weight Watchers; overhaul finances; stay in therapy; MAYBE ttc #2.
2014 - Make new friends, stay in school, get good grades, get a good job, make a difference in my community.
Over all, I did some of those things. I didn't make Dean's list like I wanted nor did I find a good fit for volunteer work, but I think with next year being my first upperclassmen year, I think I'll have a wider range of skills that I can contribute. Made awesome new friends, finally got a job in basic IT, and stayed in school.
2015- I want to travel out of the country. I want to get things moving to study abroad for a whole semester. I want to strengthen my family ties with my Dad's side. A big goal is eating healthier. No junk food! Maybe I'll lose 15 lbs too, if I can.
2014 - I got out of the shitty town like I was hoping. Unfortunately it wasn't back into the house we own/city we love. Instead we decided to try something new! DH has a new job with a bigger firm. It's taking him some adjusting to get used to it, but it really is for the best.
2015 - Find a new job. Hopefully one I enjoy and that isn't super boring like my last one. GET PREGNANT. I feel like I've been saying this for a few years now, but its time to be serious about it. Which means finding a Dr that can help. There are a few financial things like building our savings back up, but those will happen naturally once I get a job.
2014- I lost 50 pounds and have been keeping the weight within a reasonable range. I fought a fierce battle against my workplace and was close to moving but I was lucky enough to get new bosses and reaching a happier status where I am able to demonstrate how good I am
2015- passing a certification exam traveling to celebrate my birthday. Finding the best school for my kid.
2014 - Finally got into a diet/exercise plan that stuck, lost about 20 pounds. H and I have been in a really great place together after starting off the year pretty rocky.
2015 - Lose another 10 pounds, get a raise at work, pay down/off our debt and finally be able to start saving and travelling again.
2014- lost some weight, got back into teaching via getting on the supply list.
2015- get into a more financially secure place- I need the phone to ring more often to get more jobs, and I'd also like to start working towards having my own classroom again. I'd like to focus on my fitness and health more- drink less, work out more. I'd also like to focus on my happiness more...and not have it so tied to the money I'm not making right now.
2014 - Plan was to get pregnant and go back to school. I didn't realize you have to apply a year in advance so I'm not in school yet but I did gre and exams and stuff and finished applying. So hopefully I'll be back in school next year. And I got pregnant, lol! We also bought a house towards the end of the year though it was a 2015 goal. I was hoping to squeeze in a trip to India but IVF derailed that. The only vacation we had this year was our 3 day trip to portland. It was awesome but we could have used a break!
2015 - I'm hoping to get the house set up, have the baby and be back in school. And also start driving in highways (shudder). I want to see my parents too, it's been three years!! ILs are probably going to visit and I want to hold me own and parent the way I think it best and not allow myself to be bullied. Mostly I just want to see my baby in May all healthy and happy. 2015 is going to be her year!!

Every year our family we think about what we want to move toward as a family or what's important to us and we have a word that reminds us throughout the year. This year's word was "Restoration." We talked last week and 2015's word will be "Generosity."
2014 - I let go of a huge weight of unforgiveness against my former friend/boss. It wasn't anything that he did to motivate it, it was wholly the sheer weight of it being too heavy and destructive for me to continue carrying. That felt great. I also worked on restoring my faith, after a very hard season of loss with my friend's loss of her DD and my best friend's battle with cancer. We also got to a great place within our family life of feeling so much comfort and love in each of the relationships. It's been a growing year.
2015 - We want to see what it means to be even more generous as a family with absolutely everything, whether it's time, money, attention, our home, our brainpower, our kindness, whatever we have, we want to challenge ourselves to give it away, if needed.

2014- I completed my teacher training and landed yoga jobs I compelled my running goals I worked on my self esteem and myself which was lacking And a few other personal goals
2015- I have a few running goals in mind Need to get back to my own yoga practice not just teaching Reconnect with family and friends I've let go of Continue to enjoy my life, marriage and family
2014- managed not to get kicked out of nursing school and have lost 12 pounds. On a stupidly sentimental note, a few months ago I realized that I finally feel whole again for the first time since my dad died when I was 11. That was a big breakthrough for me.
2015- graduate nursing school, get a job, continue to lose weight, work on learning Spanish.
2014 was a heavy year, but holy crap we got a lot done. - H quit his job and started school and has kicked ass at it. - Inspired, I tried to be more open minded about my professional options and I am now way more involved in my community to the tune of 25+ hours of time a week which I am very proud of. - H sought treatment for long term depression. - I lost about 30 pounds. Some of that was ED related and doesn't feel like an accomplishment, but much of that was healthy and I'm choosing to feel good about it. - We "cured" our dog's separation anxiety, which sounds silly but it has been truly life changing.
2015 Goals - - Continue to be more open minded about career options and where my interests can take me. - 2015 should, IN THEORY, be the first year in our entire relationship without a major life change happening aside from some manageable medical stuff. Because of this, we are hoping to get back to some more normal fun together. - Spend more time with family. - 200 hours meditation (this is going to be a new experiment for me). - Continue to stay afloat with money as full time students.
i feel like 2014 flew by with nothing great. i can't even remember what happened. it was basically all about L, which i did like. i am ready to think about myself though. this year was rough on our marriage too but i think we finally turned a corner.
in 2015: -as of today we have allergy testing scheduled for L (FINALLY). i sobbed about it all morning-i am so relieved. she must be in so much discomfort and pain and i just hate it. i feel so awful for her. her entire short life has been dealing with this shit.
-my goal is do something for myself 1x/week. i think i might do a yoga class but i would love to do ballet again later in the year.
-by the end of the year i want to be working part-time, and maybe have an idea of wtf i want to do. i think i found a way to stay in my field part time. i have zero desire to work full-time and don't need to. #lazy
-decide if i am going back to school.
-be smarter with our $. my h does not take me seriously when i get stressed so i am just going to do whatever i can.

2014 - not much happened really. I am happy with my job, and my son went from a baby of almost one, to a little boy now.
2015 - Still happy at work; try to maintain patience and good humor with my boy. We are going to do a major master bathroom overhaul, so I'd like to not kill my H as well. Hopefully go on vacation. Maintain an exercsie routine.
2014 was all over the place. My goal was to have a healthy pregnancy and birth a baby, which happened- not really something in my control, but I did do that. I also wanted to learn how to play Aimee Mann's "Give Up" in the piano, sooo I've got two weeks to accomplish that one. Lol.
2015- sell house, buy a larger house so my grandmother can move in with us, sign Ollie up for preschool (sniff), save more money (lol), get over my fear of flying.

Goals for 2014 were to work harder at my job and become more financially secure, and to get pregnant. These were both accomplished, so I feel pretty great about this year
I also did two whole 30's, quit drinking and quit smoking weed. I didn't really have these as intentional goals, but I feel pretty proud of myself for accomplishing them anyway.
Goals for 2015 are to buy a house, and get back into a healthy lifestyle (exercising and eating clean) and stay there.
So, 2013 was probably one of the HARDEST years of my life. 2014-my biggest goal was to survive, but instead I flourished. Marriage healed and grew, children happy, safe and warm, husband says he loves his life. 2015-KOKO
2014 - We started the year with a goal of finding a new home in a good school district. We were able to get a beautiful new home and have enough financial security to rent the old one and not worry about trying to sell it (at least for now).
2014 - Build up our savings after buying the house. Personally I have got to get motivated about eating right and exercise. After a super stressful year and eating my feelings, I have to do it for myself and my girls.
