10. Spend the day at the spa

Well, I didn't get to spend the day at the spa, but I did get my toes and nails done for vacation! My mom and I got pedicures and manicures which was relaxing! My plan was to get a bunch of girls who just turned 30 or were about to turn 30 to spend the day at a an overnight spa, but because of money and everyone's busy schedules, it never happened. A group of us are going to try and do this in the fall - I hope we get it together!

9. Donate to a charity AND 27. Run 3 miles

Two more items off my list! Saturday, I ran my very first 5K! My best friend Suzanne told me back in March that I should run the Lady Fleet Feet Distance Classic with her so that I could acheive my goal or running 3 miles. I honestly did not think I would be able to run the whole thing - the most I had run up to that day was 2.1 miles just 6 days before the race. AND, my time was not good when I ran the 2.1 miles, but I wasn't concerned about how long it would take me to finish the race, I just wanted to be able to run the entire thing! I did it! I never once walked and I completed the race in a lot shorter of a time than I expected. If it wasn't for Suzanne though, I don't think I would have done that well. Thanks so much Suzanne for inspiring me to run the race and for your encouragement. Who would have thought that the two of us would ever run anything!

Not the best picture, but I had to post one! This is after the race!

All the money donated to the race went to Cincinnati Children's Hopsital Cervical Cancer research. It was perfect because when I decided back in January that I wanted to donate to a charity I had Cincinnati Children's Hospital in mind so I'm very happy the money went there!

2. Get a full nights sleep – 8 hours!

I don't have a picture to post with this one, but I'm excited to say that I got 8 hours and 45 minutes of sleep last night!!! I went to bed at 11:00 pm and I slept straight through, no interruptions and woke up at 7:45 am! Both boys were still asleep even! It was great! I was full of energy this morning so I took the boys to storytime at the library at 10:00, then we went to the bank, vacuumed my car and then got my oil changed! We were home by 12:15, just in time for lunch and now the boys are napping! I think I need one too :)

24. Drink only water for one day – at least 64 ounces

So, this may seem silly to most people, but it really was a challenge for me! First of all, for some reason, I just don't drink a lot of liquids throughout the day. I could go most of the day without anything to drink! I'm most thirsty at night so I usually have a bottle of water then, otherwise, I have to force myself to drink water the rest of the day. Secondly, I LOVE Diet Coke so I almost always have one can a day! Yesterday, I realized I had made it most of the day without having a Diet Coke so I decided it was the day to make it my "drink only water" day! 67.6 ounces of water.....that's a lot for me! So far, it's 10:30 the following day and I still haven't had my Diet Coke......maybe I'll see how long I can keep this up!

The days are flying by.........

Now that July has hit, I really need to work on the rest of my list! Time is just flying by........wish me luck!

29. Go to a concert

Me, Tom, my brother and his wife and another couple went to the Coldplay concert Thurdsay! It was so fun! It's been many years since I've been to a concert......I forgot how much fun they were! This was part of Tom's birthday present :)

4. Read a book, beginning to end

I LOVE reading and before I had kids, would read all the time! Now I just can't find the time or I'm way too tired at night. I started reading this romance novel in JANUARY when I joined the gym! I have a hard time reading on most of the machines which is why it took me so long to finish it, but Saturday morning I did! It was a good book :)
