Back in 2007 (oh my goodness, was it that long ago?) with the help of a few blog friends, I put together a list. It was originally meant to tide me over during that six months where the boy and I were in a long distance relationship - and it worked. It got me thinking and more importantly, got me doing.
Fast forward to 2011 and 'The List' is back. It'll be a work in progress, and hopefully I'll be able to to cross a few off over the coming months. Feel free to send through any challenges you'd like to see me complete as well - I'd love to hear your thoughts!
# Have my eyelashes tinted. Since I have such pale lashes, having them tinted really makes my eyes pop. Last time I had them done, people really complimented my eye makeup - when I wasn't wearing any!
# Start de-cluttering our apartment. We'll be moving into our new home next year and you should see the amount of stuff we have accumulated since we moved here. I want to start cleaning out things we don't need, mostly clothing and books.
# Watch three complete television series. Dawson's Creek. Lost: in progress.
# Put together an outfit completely from a charity shop. Trickier than you might think; the plus size clothing on offer around here tends to resemble a tent, to say the least.
# Learn something crafty.
# Go fishing. No, really.
# Go down a dress size. It goes without saying, this has always been a goal of mine. Which leads to:
# Hit 95. Gulp.
# Hit 90.
# Hit 85. Baby steps.
# Hit 80. This is the lowest weight I reached back in 2007 after running for five months.
# Hit 75. Wishful thinking.
# Hit 70. This is my weight loss goal.
# Don't complain about anything for a week. Ha. Anyone who knows me, knows I will struggle with this one. I'm not that bad, I swear.
# Attempt at least one DIY Project. A girl can try.
# Read 20 new books. I'm a nerd. I can do this. Rain. Lightning Strikes. The Eye of the Storm. The End of the Rainbow: in progress.
# Successfully decorate our new home without going broke. I'm pinteresting my loves already!

# Go to a theme park. It's been a while.
# Give acupuncture a try. So, I'm scared of needles. But I've heard it can be good for regulating hormones, infertility and also as a stress reliever - I'll try that!
# Buy a cross-stitch pattern and become a genius. I used to love these as a kid and let's face it; it's the closest I'll ever come to doing anything remarkably creative with a needle and thread. Can't sew.
# Work my way through a cookbook. Minus the seafood dishes, of course.
# Visit another country. We're hitting up Thailand for a wedding in April '12.
# Visit the Disney theme parks in all locations. Disneyland, California. Disneyworld, Florida. Disneyland Paris. Tokyo Disney.
# Give up carbohydrates for a week. You'll notice I wimped out here and wrote a week - that's because I will really struggle with this one, as a lot of my go-to meals are full of carbs. Will be interesting to see how this goes.
# See another live band.
# Head to the movies alone. Popcorn optional.
# Head to the movies alone. Popcorn optional.
# Meet someone new. That sounds easy but guys, remember: I'm a bit of a homebody.
# Fall pregnant.
