I am almost 29, one year away from 30. This year I want to set goals for myself and see where I am when I hit the BIG 3-0 in 2011. Without further rambling...
1. END MY FRACKING WEIGHT ISSUES. Seriously so done with having a crap view of myself. I base way to much on the numbers I see on the scale. All weight is is mass x gravity right? Such a simple mathematical equation has bogged me down since I was 10. I remember being 10 and thinking I was fat (I had started my female development a little early) and going on a starvation diet. 10! That is ridiculous. I remember in high school swimming two hours in the morning, eating a light yogurt for breakfast, skipping lunch for Diet Coke, swimming two hours in the afternoon, lifting weights for an hour, going home and pretending I wasn't that hungry. Really Lauren? Really? I just want to feel nice at any weight and not cry at the mirror.
2. Maintain exercising. I do really well for a month or two and then it slowly crumbles. I actually like jogging and want to try some new sports and fitness classes.
3. Learn to love swimming again. I used to be excited to wake up at 500 am to get to the pool to swim. I used to feel weird when I didn't swim for 2-3 days. I wish I still loved it, it was part of me for so long that I feel like I still should.
4. Help Stephen get healthy. I don't want to lose my husband to an MI, pancreatic CA, lung CA, or has his mind ravaged by a stroke. I want to see him take care of himself for Conor. I don't mean he needs to quit smoking ASAP. I know he wants to, and I will support him when he is ready. I want him to show the world what a good-looking guy he is. I will accept stinky feet though as Vans ARE NOT MEANT TO BE WORN WITH SOCKS (slight pet peeve).
5. I want to love Conor more. I don't think that will be hard because he is fracking adorable and is the light of my life.
6. Find a job that I am good at and love in Charleston, SC. I want to move back to Dallas so badly, but we can't yet. We would be taking even more advantage of my parents generosity if we tried to sell now. It would be selfish.
7. Pick up one piece of trash per day. I do this already, but I like to keep reminding myself to do it.
8. Be more accepting of popular music. I want to understand why people love the stuff played on the radio. I want to sing at the top of my lungs in my car when a song comes on the radio. I can't really sing to hardcore and their is NO WAY IN HADES I am trying to scream. The only time that is acceptable is in the search for Sprite Remix Slurpee and when Cross Out the Eyes by Thursday is on repeat.
9. GO TO THE BEACH. We live in Charleston, SC near the ocean. We need to take advantage of that. Maybe if I like swimming again, I will like the beach again.
10. Finish my right arm, totally sleeved, totally awesome. I want to be done with getting tattooed soon. It hurts, and I am getting to old and whiny.
