They say you grow wiser with age. True? I think so.
Lets start with the top ten things I learned this year…
1. I am not meant to EVER wear ankle length pants
2. No matter how descriptive you are to your hairstylist make sure to bring in a photo or sketch of the style you want or you will end up with hair much shorter than you intended
3. If you put a race calendar together that doesn’t mean you will stick to it
4. I “ran” the Rock n Roll half marathon 9 lbs heavier than I was last year (see#5 ugh!) and shaved a few seconds off my time, training DOES matter!
5. I cannot give up the fight to get to my goal weight and WHEN I GET THERE, I need a REALLY good maintenance plan because I easily slip back into old ice cream habits
6. Being featured in Talbot’s Spotted DIY was fun!
7. When I put together a plan, I tend to follow it, unless they are unrealistic. I need to create good plans for both eating, exercise, sleep, work and extracurricular activities
8. Its hard to tell you have gained 7-10 lbs until you look at the photos of you last year and then this year
9. Baking cakes are not my forte, I should stick to meals and cookies
10. I should be grateful every day that I’m alive
Happy Birthday to me..and CHEERS to all the wisdom I gained this year.
