The (soon to be) 30 Before 30

I was going to wait until I'd come up with all 30 things before I started writing about this, but I'm already working on a couple items, so I figured why not start now and add finish the list as I go. Right now I think I have 21 things. Oh wait, I forgot one! Okay I have 22 things, though one of them is to read 30 awesome books, and I haven't come up with the book list yet.

Anyway, what do I hope to do here? I plan on documenting this three-year journey with words and photographs. When I read a book on the list, I'll tell you how it was. When I visit Yosemite, I'll post the pictures. When I weight 150 pounds, you will see a super fabulous picture of skinny Kendra (it's gonna be a while). And, since the list isn't finished, I'll post when I come up with new ideas for the last eight things.

Anyway, today I'm working on two items:
No. 12: Weigh 150
 Today's my first Weight Watchers meeting since coming from the beach. I'm bracing for bad news. Although I tried to be mindful while on vacation, I'm guessing WW generally frowns upon eating ice cream EVERY DAY. I've been better since getting back, but probably not good enough to have actually lost weight. I just hope I didn't gain any!
No. 21: Finish a triathlon
Catherine, Steph and I are doing a sprint triathlon in Frederick in two weeks. I am a little terrified, because I should have gotten serious about training a while ago. Today the plan is to run a mile to the gym, then hop in the infinity pool for a half-hour before the WW meeting. So far the farthest I've run without stopping was 2.12 miles (thanks, pedometer), though I did 2.25 miles yesterday broken up into two parts (to and from yoga). Today will be the first time I've combined two types of cardio into one workout (running, swimming).
