35 to 35

I was looking at the calendar of events for this summer and our runs DH STP bike ride and it is looking a little crazy.

STP in 1week
Mud to Chocolate in 2 weeks
Iron Girl Sprint Tri in 6 weeks
Warrior Dash in 9 weeks
My first 10K  in 16 weeks

In the midst of the last two things we have our youngest son starting Preschool our oldest going into 2nd grade and my schedule at work will be drastically changing again after my first 10K.  I was then thinking about how the holidays are right after that and soon my 15K which is the day before my birthday then it HIT me.  I am going to be 35.  So I did another countdown and looked at the weeks until my birthday, 35 weeks.  35 weeks until I am 35.  This must mean something and if it doesn't I am going to make it mean something.  All of a sudden I love the fact that it is 35 weeks until I am 35.  I feel there is importance in this and I am going to make the next 35 weeks of my life amazing and life changing. I am tweaking my weight loss goals to go toward my true average.  When I am losing consistently I average 5 lbs a month.  So my new goal for the next 35 weeks is to lose 1.25 lbs a week. That will bring me only about 8 lbs from my goal weight by my birthday.  I am ok with that.  It is longer than I've ever planned it to take but you know what lets set my self up for success instead of frustration and failure.

Here's to the next 35 weeks! They're going to be amazing!
