2012 - Your year in review

[Aulayna]

So we're half way through December and the end of the year is fast approaching (well provided the world doesn't end before then!) What has been the highlight of your year? Did you achieve something you set out to achieve? Did something happy and unexpected happen? What are you plans going forward?

The lows for me were failing at getting a job promotion that I've been trying several times to get. I thought that I was in the best position ever for it but alas it didn't work out.

A few weeks later though, going to the Olympics and Paralympics was pretty much the high - I've lived in London for most of my life before I moved to Ireland for work so seeing the Olympics and Paralympics in my own backyard is something that's going to live with me forever. Made me so proud - this has been my cover photo on facebook for so long and it keeps bringing back "that feel." Never felt so proud!



This got me inspired to sort my life out and get in shape again. I've been going the gym daily for about 9 weeks now and have nearly dropped 2 dress sizes which would've been unthinkable to me this time last year.

So my plan going forward is to keep that up and then nail that job next time it comes up. Doing as much as I can to make that happen and not trying to dwell on set backs as much anymore.
