Today marks my last day as a 36-year-old woman. At the stroke of midnight tonight, I will turn 37. Oh. My. Gawd. Thirty-seven! That is almost 40. Yay for birthdays, but… 37?!
So what am I doing with these last few hours of life as a 36-year-old? Well, right now I’m enjoying a cold glass of my favourite wine, pottering around on the interwebs and taking a look back on my life. No complaints, so far.
I’m also setting goals for my 37th year (or should that be 38th year?). No, 37 sounds just fine 
As I head into my 37th year, I want to re-discover a part of me that I feel like I’ve lost in the last few years.
In a nutshell, I’ve gained some weight and it’s making me unhappy. I don’t like it. I no longer feel like ‘me’.
I’ve decided I will be blogging my journey. There’s nothing like putting yourself ‘out there’ to make yourself totally accountable. After all, a goal is only a dream unless you write it down. I won’t be following any crazy diet-plan, just good old-fashioned healthy eating with everything in moderation. So yes, I’ll still be sharing my favourite cake-pop recipes and food discoveries!
It’s the right time for me to make this change.
Whew! Now that was somewhat of a pre-birthday ramble! But, hello, 37! We’ve got some work to do :). I’m ready for you!

P.S. How’s your Hump Day coming along? Doing anything interesting tonight? Me… I think I’ll finish up on the interwebs, go snuggle on the sofa with Hubs then go get me some beauty sleep. I’m not getting any younger ya’know!
A Very Happy Birthday Cake
With you all the way!!
37’s not so old 😉 Happy birthday!! I’ll be 30 next month!
Happy Birthday soon and I can’t wait to follow your journey in finding yourself again.
Thanks for sharing! I just turned 27 yesterday and had a similar experience. Blogging makes it so much easier to really look back and see how far you have come! Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Eve Natalie!! I definitely think you are brave to set goals for the year ahead. I am horrid at setting goals and not sticking to them. So here’s wishing you the achievement of ALL your goals set. God bless!
Happy Early Birthday!!!!
UGH I’ll be 37 in January….SO not looking forward to it!! I still feel 21 lol
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday! ENjoy your day and enjoy that wine honey! You deserve it!
Happy Birthday!!! I hope you have a rockin’ BD! You’re still a baby.
But speaking as someone who has been there, done that… losing weight gets tougher in your 40s. So good luck to you, I know YOU can do it!!!
Happy early birthday! I need to not only follow along reading your journey, but to join you as well (as soon as baby comes!) Good for you setting a goal. You can do it!
Happy Birthday! I am doing kind of the same thing. Trying to get in shape because I’m not happy about the current state of my anatomy. I can’t wait to follow along and see how you are doing.
Aww! Happy Birthday! 37 is still young and beautiful!
Happy birthday and good luck!!
Happy Birthday Natalie!
