27 years old

Good morning! Today is my 27th birthday. Where did the years go? I cant believe I am on the verge of 30. Im not upset by this. I think these are going to be the best years of my life. I try to make each year a better year than the last. The year of 2010 I was going to do a 365 project (where you take a self portrait of yourself every day for a year). Well I kind of forgot to start, so what better day than to start...on my birthday and do one for the whole 27th year of my life. Ill add the picture to my blog everyday as well as the link to the actual project blog.

I've also decided that I should start exercising more. I know, I know. seems like its on everyones resolution list. Im going to buckle down on this. I was talking to Matt the other day about the PT standards for the Army. (no im not planning on joining). He trains new soldiers coming into the Army, so he sees them at their weakest and helps them work their way to the PT standards of push ups, sit ups and running. Well just out of curiousity I wanted to see how many push ups and sit ups I could do. I dont remember the exact number you have to do to pass the PT test, its like 50 or so of each, give or take 10 or so. Ill have to ask Matt again. But that all doest matter when you can only do like 15 push ups and 15 sit ups. I never really realized how out of shape I really am. I know, I may be skinny...but that doesnt mean Im healthy. Im not unhealthy, but definitely have a lot to work on. Matt also bought a treadmill recently so he can work out at home when the weather is bad and I can start on my cardio and build some endurance.

Hope everyone has a great day and Ill update some more later this evening when the day comes to an end.
