The year was 1989, I was eight going on nine, and it was my mother’s 30th birthday. I only have one memory of that day. My mother crying, I still to this day do not know what it was that made her weep. Maybe she was terrified of 30, maybe she felt she hadn’t accomplished as much as she would have liked, or maybe she wasn’t happy with where her life had taken her.
Fast forward 20 years and 7 month’s the date is december the 8th 2009. Tomorrow I turn 29. Just 365 measly days and I will be my mother’s age! Am i terrified of 30? absolutely! Why? Well i really don’t know. I have decided to start this blog so that i may share this scary journey to 30 with the world.
I do not have a long list of things that I am obsessed with accomplishing before the dreadful day arrives. I do however have 2 goals. Which may seem simple to you but mean the world to me.
Goal 1- Lose 40 lbs
Goal 2- Get pregnant
Now I know your thinking ; They cancel each other out, but because of a medical condition i have i must accomplish goal 1 before i have any chance of achieving goal 2.
So please come along on this journey, Who knows maybe there are others out there reading this who are going through this as well.
