I had a conversation this weekend with a good friend who turned 30 today. This friend approached today with a little anxiety. I am a couple years away from hitting the big 3-0, but it got me to thinking. What's so scary about a number? What changes from the 365th day of your 29th year and the first day of your 30th year?
The more I thought about it, I realized I am actually the opposite. Getting older doesn't scare me. Yes, I know this means changes in my body, changes in my hair color, changes in my abilities. Despite all of these things, I approach my future with excitement and anticipation. Our 30's do not mean the same things they once did. Women in their 30's are having children, starting and thriving in their careers, and doing more than they ever have before. I have to be honest and say that I like myself more and more the older I get. I feel more comfortable in my own skin, more confident about where I am going in life and more prepared for trying new things.
I hope every woman out there can look to their future, not looking back and wishing for earlier years, but looking forward with great excitement to what their future may hold. With that said, happy birthday, Christie...who doesn't look a day over 24 :) I know the next 10 years will be awesome for you!
Ok, here are this week's stats:
Weigh in 3/7/2009: 162
Total weight loss: 15 lbs
I can't believe how excited I am to almost be back in the 150's! I haven't seen the 150's since about the summer of 2006. When I hit 154, I will officially be back into a health Body Mass Index as well. Another 15 lbs and I will have reached my goal weight! Here is to HALF WAY THERE!
I am hoping to be at 158 before our April 2nd date to see Phantom. I know that is 4 more pounds in 24 days and that may be pretty difficult, but I'm up for the challenge.
Later, ladies!

I am so proud of you and of your attitude! Everything you said is SOOO true. Age is what makes us wiser and better people! I am definitely not the person I was 10 years ago and I am SOOO glad that I've grown and changed. I also agree that with all the changes of age - weight, body shape, health, hair color, sytle etc.....It's all just a part of the circle of life and the beauty that lies within that. The key to finding joy in it is to EMBRACE these moments and these changes. =)
I'm so proud of your progress too, keep up the good work!!!
