In a few weeks, I turn age 25... I'm WAY overweight for my height (I'm only 5'4"... EEK) and I'm sick and tired of feeling like a cow (and it only took me a decade and 4 crib midgets to figure that out! Go me!).
SO.
I am determined to be able to run a marathon (26.2 miles) by my 26th birthday! I printed out a year long couch-to-marathon plan courtesy of www.digitalrunning.com, laminated it (with 4 kids in the house you can never be too careful), and it will be hanging oh-so-lovely on my fridge. **side note: why is there a 'd' in the word 'fridge' when there is no 'd' in the word 'refrigerator'??**
And apparently I'm having some sort of quarter-year crisis (mid-life is at 50, yes? So 25 would be quarter... right?!), because I've also re-enrolled in college. Assuming I get in to the classes I need to (my registration time is the 25th at 8 am), I'll be taking 20 credits this quarter, and 17 credits fall quarter. Pray for me that I pass all of my classes from now until Spring, so that I can have that coveted piece of paper called a 'degree' by then (Spring). Then it'll be time to go crazy all over again applying to 4 year colleges to their BSN programs.
Ahh, ain't life grand...
If my fat-ass, food loving, procrastinating, goldfish-memory, millisecond attention span, finicky, fickle self can make it through the next year alive (and HEALTHIER... with the awesome perk of *hopefully* being thinner)... I may just have to go back to church regularly... Lord knows I'll need the help.
Go Erin!!!
