In my last post, I put up 4 new wishes. I have made progress on a few! Here's the what-what:
1) I wish to lose those 30 lbs once and for all and maintain a fit, healthy lifestyle.
- On my way on this wish! I have been running and eating smaller portions for maybe 4 weeks now. Am 8 pounds down! Once I get to my first goal weight, I am going to celebrate by buying these boots.
2) I wish to be a NOLS instructor.
- I have no idea how this will happen. I mostly just really, really admire NOLS as a mission driven non-profit. I was able to benefit twice from their leadership courses and from top to bottom, they run a tight ship. So if this ever happens, bonus. But I had my wonderful, formative experiences with them in my teen and early 20's years, so I can be grateful for that.
3) I wish to get a Master's degree. In... something!
- I think I may be honing in on this one! For the longest time, I wanted to be an RN... well, for over 8 years I have played with the idea. I even went to far at one point to get accepted to a program. But when it came to choosing nursing school or my current job, I chose my current job. So now I am considering getting an MBA with a focus on non-profit management.
4) I wish to take my husband and children to Germany to visit family and friends and so my children understand that part of their identity.
- Yeah, that may not happen for a while, unfortunately. The whole $$ thing. But I do have some other great plans in the works that will prove to be vacations that are also lovely and fun.
