The Hot at 30 Project

So I have come up with a new project. The Hot at 30 Project. In almost a year and a half I will be 30 years old. That's not old by today's standards but to me, it feels like I'm getting old. I stay at home all the time, I have two children that wear me out every day, I'm sore when I wake up in the morning, I'm always tired and the best part of the day is getting into bed at night. It shouldn't be like this. I should still be energetic and ready to take on the day at this age. Right now I am 28 years old. I will be 29 on October 26th of this year. I don't mind that I am getting older I just don't want to look older then I am.

Have you ever seen an actress or someone you know but haven't seen in a while that is the same age or even slightly older then you and realize wow, they look so much younger then me? I hate that. I hate seeing a famous actress on tv that is actually older then me but looks ten years younger then me. It gets depressing after a while. Especially when you start to notice that you no longer get carded and people are calling you Ma'am. I despise being called Ma'am. It makes me want to scream at the top of my lungs, "JUST BECAUSE I'M A MOM DOESN'T MEAN I'M GETTING OLD! JUST BECAUSE I DON'T DRESS IN SKINNY JEANS AND WEAR MY BANGS OVER ONE EYE DOESN'T MAKE ME OLD EITHER! DAMMIT REFER TO ME AS YOUNG LADY!"  Ok, now that that's over with.....

So I decided while watching Sex and the City 2 that I was going to do something about this. Why during SATC 2 you ask? Well I was sitting there looking at Kim Cattrall who plays Samantha. She looks freaking hot! And I don't know how old she really is but in the movie she's supposed to be 52. I was thinking to myself that if I looked half as good as she does when I'm that old that I'll be doing awesome. But then I realized that I don't even look or feel that good right now. So I've decided to do something about it. I'm going to be hot at 30 if it kills me. I need to drops some poundage and start taking better care of my skin first of all. I can already see a few teeny tiny wrinkles trying to work their way under my eyes. And that combined with still having zits is such bullshit. It's just not fair that I have this weird combination of puberty and aging going on.

So starting Monday (since I always like to start things at the beginning of a week) I will restart my Wii fit exercise program. I will do it five days a week even if I hate it and feel like crap. I will also restart trying to drink a gallon of water a day. I don't know if it's possible since I normally don't drink a gallon of anything during the day but I'm gonna try dammit! I will also try to limit the amount of sugar I take in and start eating much more fresh fruits and veggies. Since it's almost summer that shouldn't be to hard to do with all the fresh stuff popping up out of the ground.

So Monday it is. I will try to update daily and I will debate on whether I want to disclose my weight on this blog. I really don't want to but I probably should just so maybe you guys can keep me honest. So I'll see you on Monday after my workout hopefully. Wish me luck ;)
