Birthday Week!

This week I turned 30! Yes, this is a major life event and I am loving it. Tonight will be my final birthday celebration with friends. The festivities started last Friday with my actual birthday being on Tuesday (October 16th). What a wonderful week! I don't usually fuss about birthdays, but I really am happy about joining the "Dirty Thirty" club (Thanks Melissa!).

So, as a treat to myself, I purchased a guitar two weeks ago and will be starting lessons today. I spoke with my guitar teacher and he seemed excited that I am interested in learning his specialty. I am eager to do this for myself. Something that I can master in my own time, with my own abilities. I currently have little music knowledge except that I took voice lessons when I was 13 or 14.

My weight loss is going very well. I am really focusing on my hunger level instead of my visual level. I have been so used to eating a certain amount that I neglected to listen to my body. I realized that I can choose to eat so much less by just listening to my hunger/satisfaction level. I haven't changed any of the foods that I am eating, just the quantity. This is huge for me. I also have noticed that I want "lighter" foods: fruit, veggies, etc. I have never been a huge meat eater, but I eat 2-3 oz at some point in the day. I am okay with this.

I wasn't planning to head to the gym this morning as I have a full plate, but I think that I am going. I should call my sister and see if she is planning to go. Her gym doesn't open until 8 on the weekends. My gym is 24 hours which I love.
