120 Days...

My 30th birthday is rapidly approaching. At this point, I'm not exactly sure how I feel about that. Even though it's "just another year," I feel like moving into the next decade of my life carries more psychological weight than it might physically.

In my case, I'm looking to carry much less actual weight into my 30's. But as you can see by the title of the post, I only have 120 days!

My original slogan was "Ripped by 30," but since I've continued to put off the part where I start to eat healthy and work out, I doubt that I'll actually be able to obtain 'ripped' status by August.

However, there are still 4 solid months until my birthday, so there is still plenty of time to make some good progress - and I will keep you posted!

Question: What foods or exercises should I definitely take advantage of before August to make the most of these 120 days?

Registration Giveaway - Chicago Half Marathon - September 8, 2013

The 17^th Annual Chicago Half Marathon (and Hyundai Hope On Wheels 5k) will be host to thousands of runners that will enjoy a beautiful 13.1 mile course along scenic Lake Shore Drive with great views of the Chicago skyline, starting and finishing at Jackson Park.

There aren't a lot of half marathon courses around here that feature as gorgeous of a view as the one that runs up and down Lake Michigan. Since most of you reading this are from the Chicago area, you know what I mean - so awesome.
