Look, I'm 30:

Fitness, Y'all

This is everything I did in the name of fitness yesterday:

-30 minute walk
-Kettlebells - 60 shoulder presses w/ 26 lbs. - 60 rows w/ 44 lbs. - 30 push ups - 50 swings - 5 pull ups
(I wasn't really feeling the swings or pull ups so I didn't force myself do a lot)
-7 mile bike ride
-Soccer practice (this involved more standing around, though, than running)
-7 mile bike ride back home

Good times!  I'm trying to ride my bike more often to commute places rather than drive.  Denver is a good city to do that in.  Those 14 miles took approximately 1 and 1/2 hours total.  Driving would have been about 25-30 minutes total.  So time is a consideration.  Also, I'm trying to work out extra to get ready for a soccer tournament I'm playing in this weekend, and to burn my vacation weight off.  I just back from Hawaii for my friend Carrie's wedding.  It was really beautiful.  And I ate a lot.  A lot of delicious foods.  Plus I'm turning 30 in exactly a week and I want to feel great about myself!!!

And finally, I just really like being active.

Cheers to fitness, y'all!

I Don't Care What You Say Anymore This is MY LIFE

I recently karaoked Billy Joel's classic song, "My Life."  I love this tune.  I've long thought it as a theme song.  This is my life, and I make the decisions for it.  And that knowledge gives me the freedom I've always desired.  I am almost 30.  I love being an adult.  Even though it is hard sometimes, my adulthood is something I claim and own.  Just like my mistakes and my victories.  It's all part of me.  Glorious me. 

I feel like my Colorado life is finally working.  I have some consistent work with a new client editing on an Avid on a PC making car commercials (flashback to the beginning of my career!).  I also have some consistent Kettlebell clients that I'm training.  And I'm doing some promo/demo work for some extra cash.  Feels good to be making money and not going any further in debt.

In addition, I have great friends here and fun things to do and I'm constantly meeting new people.  Life is good.  And I have big, exciting plans for 30.  Stay tuned for those. 

I'm going to Hawaii tomorrow.  Ahhhhhhh yeah.
