Most people that are in their 30ies that are positive, goal setters/achievers, and determined realized this: 1. That being in our 30ies is great. These are great years. These are great years in so many different ways for each of us. For me, this will be my 10th year in ministry. Although this is a messy year of transition and change, I know without a doubt I have a solid career underneath me - one filled with experience and wisdom. I've worked hard to love what I do to stay passionate doing it. I've also worked hard in the last several years to become a healthy and fit person. I've been blessed to find the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. And I started my own business with Rodan + Fields to help support myself and my future financially, while helping others change their lives in amazing ways. 2. It's time to get serious. I've said this before to myself, "It's time to get serious!" I want to be in my best shape and health....I want to be financially well...I need to use my time better...I need to cook again...I need to read the Bible...I need to pray more. I need to take more vacation. ...These are all things I've said at one point or another....and over and over again. Some I am working on already. But I strongly believe if people aren't getting serious in their 20ies about this (and more) stuff, the 30ies is the time to do it. Afterwards, it only gets harder. We're busier, our bodies aren't as youthful and more time has slipped by. Now, if you are past 39, please do know, it's not too late. One of my role models is 47 and he just achieved an Iron Man! He's been working at this, "Time to get healthy thing," for a few years now. It's been amazing watching his body and life transform. When I started personal training, I realized how hard it was with a body in my early 30ies. Now, of course my weight had a lot to do with it, but I was no spring chicken, either. The earlier we get at these goals, the better our life is going to be in all areas. he other day I said to myself, "I am so sick of being over weight and always trying to lose weight." It has been my whole world for who knows how long. This has been my struggle, my issue. I truly think I am working on it in a way so it is not my issue some day. Of course I understand the loss of baby weight is different and natural. I think I am doing this by: 1. Focusing on fitness and being healthy (not weight overall). 2. Not choosing a eating program, but eating healthy, natural foods that I can sustain over a long period of time. Most eating programs require buying foods and/or shakes, and counting/measuring. This is unhealthy and controls too much of the day. I want to make food, eat it, and not worry about how much is too much. Whole30 will help me find the right foods for me. Reflection:
What are your thirties teaching you? What did they teach you? What do you need to get serious about, and no joke, just do - no excuses? What do you hope for? Are you working towards it? Have you prayed about this?

What are my thirties teaching me? I can still do the same things as when I was a teen- it just hurts a little more. What do I need to get serious about? I need to get serious about polishing a bald head. I'm missing my shine. I hope that my shine blinds people. My body is working towards it. I have not prayed about this but I do pray about other things)
