30 Before 30

Okay, so I have been wanting to create this list since I turned 29 in May. I've been dragging my feet. Part of Sarah didn't (and still doesn't) want to acknowledge the fact that I'm that close to 30. I didn't expect my age to bother me, but it's actually about to kill me lol. The other part of Sarah knows that if I put something in writing, I'll HAVE to do it, or FAIL.

So, I've finally decided it's time to get with it. In 253 days, my twenties will officially be a thing of the past. By procrastinating, I'm only giving myself less time to succeed and a better chance to FAIL - and, I can't let that happen. *sigh* Here we go.





  1. Lose 30 lbs. (Yes, I'm fully aware that's only a small fraction of what I NEED to lose...baby steps, people, baby steps.)


  2. Play tennis twice a week.


  3. Get together with friends once a week.


  4. Drink at least 32 oz. of water daily. (Again, baby steps lol)


  5. Read at least 1 book a day to Maya & Gus.


  6. Send a card to Claudia & Camile once a month.
