since then, i have made some changes in my life. i am not sure how many of them are a result of turning 39 or maybe starting to feel a little more mature (read as "old"). i don't think that the number in the age bothers me. the fact that the North Georgia Conference of the UMC keeps raising the age in which one is considered a young adult helps. when i turned 35, i was at the upper crust of that, and then the next year it was changed to 36... and somehow when I was 38 the upper age was 40. it was kind of fishy how they kept raising it and then they decided that you could self-classify and if anyone can be a young adult then that moniker is useless. so, whatever. i am whatever age i am, and i will never self classify myself as something that i don't feel i am. so, i am no longer a young adult.anyway, if you are wondering what changes I have made, here they are:
* became a pescetarian. well, until i ate that bacon on 12.27. but it was so good and it was at cracker barrel on road trip so it totally shouldn't count. the bacon I made on Monday we won't talk about
* starting shaving my legs more than once a week
* started running (an exaggeration of what i do)
* started jazzercise (now work out 4-5 days a week--not all jazzercise)
* signed up for boot camp (for April)
* also signed up for a half marathon (the wine and dine at disney-though clearly the title wooed me on this one)
* bought a pair of spanx tights
* started washing my face (a couple times a week)
* started liking and cooking brussel sprouts and cauliflower
* i attempted to add mouthwash but it gave me sores
* and today, i put moisturizer on my face for the first time that it wasn't sunburned.
it's this last thing that really makes me feel my age. like i am a woman now or something...
and reminds how i can no longer care for my body like i am 12. sigh.
so, i wonder...what other tips do you have for me?
are there things that you have added that you think i would benefit from adding to my life? like more bacon. or girl scout cookies. let me know. because apparently, i am not open to doing new things.
