I'm doing 26 things
Well I got close (19 lbs) and then gained almost all back. I’m only 4 lbs less than when I started. Guess I’ll carry this one over to 2013.

How I did it
It made me
Giddy! 
How I did it: I bought a Groupon a little more than a year ago as an incentive to get around to doing this. Naturally, I called to set up a reservation a few days before it expired, because procrastination is next to godliness (wait, what), but they were booked up for weeks.

Blah.
