One of the hardest parts about starting something is actually staying committed. This is true for many things in life; school, work, health, relationships, etc. In my particular case I know I have a problem when it comes to committing to my blog. I will sometimes get on a roll and then if I stop just one time, it’s over. No more blog posts.
I’m not going to make any bold statements just yet, but this blog post alone is a good start. The reason I stopped posting was because I felt like I had to explain why I stopped posting, and to be honest I didn’t want to explain anything, so I just never posted. What a vicious cycle.
Anyway, on to bigger and better things.
I turned 30 a month ago.
30!
I don’t really feel 30, I still feel the same, just my bones and joints ache a little more. (Yes, I’m serious).
I’ve always tried to defy age gravity by using topical creams that are supposed to help with wrinkles. I still feel like I look young enough, although aging means skin doesn’t turnover as quickly which means scars take forever to disappear on my face.
Some of my friends were so bold as to create a 30 under 30 list in the last year of their 20s, however, I completely missed that boat. Instead, I’d like to present my 30 while 30 list. 30 things I want to accomplish during the 30th year of my existence.
30 while 30
- Volunteer at a tutoring place
- Generate income via a blog
- Focus on analyzing real estate deals
- Meal prep a week’s worth of food at least once a month
- Work out 3 times a week consistently

- Eat vegan for a week
- Learn how to put on fake eyelashes
- Attend a hip-hop dance class
- Call a friend once a week on my way home from work

Okay, this was a lot harder than I thought it would be… it also took way longer than I expected. Why is it so hard to think of 30 things I want to accomplish this year?
I do realize that a lot of what I wrote is fitness/health related, but that’s because it’s an aspect of my life I always want to focus on. Also, I definitely have not stuck to this list over the past couple of months, but I am making a bold statement RIGHT NOW and am going to make an effort to stick by this.
Have you created a list like this?
