Famous birthdays for July 29th: Peter Jennings, Mussolini, Elizabeth Dole, Afroman, Martina McBride, and of course, me :) Oh, and a special birthday shoutout to my Uncle Ray (he should be famous....he's straight up the most tender hearted country man you'll ever meet).
What this really means is that I am a year from being 30. It is really hard to believe; in my head I still feel like the same person I was when I was 25...smarter of course, but still the same person. I definitely think the stigma attached to being 30 is completely different now than 20, 15, even 10 years ago. Or maybe I'm just saying that because my friends are now 30 and I'm only a year away. To me (don't laugh) 30 is now almost a milestone of "adulthood", or maybe I'm way behind my mature friends :)
I've done really well this week with eating and exercising. I did another BodyPump class at 6am this morning; afterwards I was doing intervals on the treadmill (shoutout to Kristen Hanson Jones for the workout) and my legs were spent. Normally a tiredness that I could push through, but not today, my legs were donezo. I got through 15 minutes and was done. I guess maybe I try doing cardio first so I'm not so tired? (any recommendations on this would be greatly appreciated)
I think what I've realized in the last month is that where the weight loss is my number one goal and the whole reason I started this lifestyle change (again), I can't help but realize how good I feel. The scale may be moving slowly but I feel so much more energized and proud of myself. It makes it so easy to see how those with a healthy lifestyle seem to be such happier people....because they are!
That's all for now...I'm gonna go enjoy my birthday :)
