Trying to learn as I go...

I'm back again, and much quicker than I expected! I think I'm going to actually like this blogging thing. Go figure. I've been putting some thought into my list, so here goes:

#1 is...drum roll please...Lose 40 lbs by my 40th birthday.

This seems to be a common theme among many of us. Personally, I love my friends and family the way they are, but we all have to be happy in our own skin. My weight has always been an issue for me, but it's one I truly want to conquer. So many of my friends and family have been inspirational to me in their efforts (Suzanne, Wendy, Regina, Kristi, Leslie, and others), and I want to take that inspiration and do something with it instead of just saying I'm inspired while my arse sits on the couch and I eat Cheezits. This happened tonight, by the way. The giant Cheezits are the bomb diggity. But I digress. I know I will have unlimited and unconditional support from the special people in my life, a few of whom I mentioned above.

More List:

#2 Get my nails done at a salon, tips and all, and actually maintain them this time instead of letting them fall off.
#3 Use the 2 massage gift certificates I've had in my purse for a year and add some hot stone action.
#4 Read all of the Twilight series.

That's all I have for now, but more is coming. I promise.

  1. That's a good start on your list. Let me know when you go for massage since that is on my list also. We could go together.

  2. That would be fun, Wendy! I have gift certificates from Elements. They're close to my house on NW Expwy. Right now they have a Valentine's day special of two 55 min. massages for $99.

  3. AW - massages are WONDERFUL!! I've had three in my life and I love them more each time. That would be a great girls day! (and we could get a mani-pedi as well) That would be fun!

  4. I understand what you mean about the weight issue. Even though I'm not seriously trying to lose, maintaining is a constant battle. Especially at our age, as much as I hate to say that. It's just true. I lost 30 pounds around 10 or so years ago and have kept it off but it's a daily thing with me. I have hips...I like food...A LOT!
