Week Twenty-two

I had training for work yesterday morning so couldn't attend my typical WW meeting. I went on Wednesday night instead and... my weight was exactly the same. Can we say plateau? Oh well. The lady who weighed me in discussed it with me and gave me some things to try but I'm going on vacation tomorrow and am throwing my tracker out the window for the week. It's also my birthday on Wednesday and since I only get one every four years I should be allowed to eat what I want, right? I forgot to take a photo again, but promise lots from my trip this week.

I don't know if I posted this last week or not (I posted pretty quickly) but I am headed to California tomorrow morning. I'm going to fly into Ontario and check out a grad school close by then head into LA for a little. After I'm done there I'll drive (I'm renting a car) up the coast and stay with my brother and his family until Thursday afternoon. It should be fun. I have the whole week off. I'm in desperate need of a vacation and I'm way excited, except that I'm flying out at 6 AM tomorrow (which is why I'm posting this so much earlier than usual).

As I mentioned in the first paragraph, Wednesday is my birthday. I am turning 28, yikes. And yes I am actually going to be 28, it will be my 7th birthday but I am really 28. Unfortunately I continue to age every year just like everyone else. One of my friends who just turned 29 posted this on her blog and I thought I would do it as well. Thirty things you want to accomplish by the time you turn thirty. This will give me an extra year so hopefully I can get them all done. Here is my list:

1. Go to Grad School
2. Go to New York
3. See the Yankees play in Yankee stadium
4. Learn how to knit using four needles at once
5. Finally run a 5K
6. Have a relationship
7. Move out of my parent’s house, again
8. Reach my goal weight
9. Knit a sweater
10. Do family history
11. Do temple work for my family
12. Get an iPhone
13. Get a manicure
14. See a Broadway musical
15. Give up soda
16. Drive up the coast of California
17. Build up my arm strength enough to do real push ups
18. Do a temple session in every temple in Utah
19. Go mountain biking with my brother again and not want to kill myself
20. Try skiing again
21. Go golfing, real golfing not mini
22. Catch a Spring Training game
23. Quit playing Bejeweled Blitz
24. Overcome some of my fears and insecurities
25. Pay off credit card debt
26. Do my visiting teaching on a monthly basis
27. Visit San Diego
28. Visit San Francisco (the four hours I’m going to spend there on Thursday don’t count)
29. Buy a leather jacket
30. Make eggplant Parmesan


Here's to being great at 28! Okay that was way cheesy, sorry about that...
