last update at 28

Sorry for falling off the face of the earth yet again. It's been a good school year thus far - concerts, as mentioned in the previous post, as well as a musical (Once Upon a Mattress, Jr.), and a few social events. I kind of stalled out and even backtracked on WeightWatchers and only this week returned to "losing". I weighed in at a meeting this afternoon at 167.4, down 1.6 lbs from the previous week.

At the end of this week I turn 29.

I don't have any great big thoughts about being 29. I am among the youngest of all my friends... particularly those that I have known for a long time, since I was ahead a year in school. So, being surrounded by people turing 30, turning 29 isn't bad at all.

But it does make me think... what is my Before-I-Turn-Thirty wish list? To be honest, I don't really know. Some things that come to mind:

• I'd like to see us finish up Baby Step 3 (3-6 months of expenses in savings)
• I'd like to continue Weight Watchers... I've lost about 40 pounds this first year. If I lost another 40, that would put me at 124, which would be within the "healthy weight" range for my height. That could be cool.
• I want to keep up with this running situation. I've done three 5Ks this year. Maybe a 10K is in my future.

Incidentally, for those that are interested or so inclined, you will now find a wish list to the right of the page. A little bit of everything there.
