Another Year, Another Birthday

I turn 26 on Sunday.

I’m not where I thought I would be. Yet, in some ways I’m way passed where I thought I would be. I suppose it’s hard to predict your life because you can’t predict what opportunities and changes will come your way.

Anyway, to celebrate my birthday I’m going to cross off one of my fitness goals that is New Zealand related – climbing Rangitoto.

Yep, a nice hike up a volcanic island sounds like a fun thing to do on my birthday weekend.

This weekend I’m also going to go to my favorite things: go to a farmers market, eat Mexican food, read a book, go for a bike ride, walk JuJu, and spend time with friends. You know, all the things I love to do.

Last month I wrote a post about things I wanted to do before turning 26. Here’s the list and how I did.

Weigh in at under 200 lbs. – Last time I weighed in I was at 201. I haven’t weighed in since because I’m weighing in monthly and don’t want it crowding my mind. But I’m close!Buy something at LUSH. - Haven’t done this yet but just bought something from The Body Shop so I’m happy. Go ice skating. – We went skating with friends and had a great time and workout. Go snowboarding and teach Kepa. – We went snowboarding indoors and had an amazing time. Kepa picked it up quicklyGo on a roadtrip. – I just realized this didn’t happen. I originally planned a trip to Wellington but finances changed and this wasn’t possible. It’s still on my to do list though!

As always happens when I create a list of goals, I hit some and miss others. But no matter what I always end up improving myself and my life. That’s why I keep making them!

One of my favorite things about having a blog is my ability to keep track of my life. I can’t believe I’ve stuck with this blog for so long considering how quickly my interests and life changes. But I’m grateful to have this record to look back on, good and bad.

Since I’ve been blogging…

Woah. Crazy how time flies, isn’t it?
