Happy Birthday To Me!

by

*This post was prewritten and scheduled last night; today is my big 2-5 but more importantly it’s also moving day, so there is no way I have time to be on the computer!

Quarter of a century is a big birthday, so waking up at 6am to pick up a moving truck and then spending the day stuffing it full doesn’t seem all that celebratory.  I have had birthday week though so it’s hard to complain.  Plus, I’m a big fan of the fresh start, so starting a new year and moving to a new place all on the same day pretty much rocks my socks 😀

Here are some of my goals for the next year –

  1. Lose 15lbs.  It’s not a race though, more of a revamping of our lifestyle, it did take me a year to gain the weight, it’s not coming off over the weekend.
  2. Actually train for, and run another half marathon.
  3. Slowly move our bedtimes and alarm set times so that I am going to bed and waking up on a more adult schedule.
  4. Update the blog and move to self-hosting.
  5. Read 25 books.
  6. Be able to do 25 push-ups.
  7. Work my butt off and do a job I’m proud of in my first year back at school.

What is your birthday cake request?  I usually go for key lime pie.

  1. Happy Birthday, Lady!! I love your idea of a fresh start – I need to start looking at my birthday like that because it usually depresses me. You have some great goals, and I can’t wait to read-along with the next year of your life. 🙂 Good luck moving, and definitely squeeze some cake time in there at some point. I always say chocolate.

  6. Happy Birthday!!!! Excellent goals, and I totally hear ya on the waking up at an “adult time” – it’s hard to get off of the college sleep schedule

    I like angel food cake, with strawberries and whipped cream!
