Goal List Update

Goal list update:

Working On:


#35 Read all of the unread books on my shelf 8/35

I finally finished reading Eat Pray Love and did indeed love the book very much. Elizabeth Gilbert made me want to drop everything and go and experience life to the fullest. I felt like I was there every step of the way with her through her spiritual journey and now want to follow her lead. I really do need to cleanse my body of all of its negative thoughts and little balls of anger that seem to be stuck inside of me......it's a heavy burden to carry day in and day out. I want to feel light and enjoy life, perhaps I'll start with a little meditation!!



#5 Achieve a BMI of 24.9 or less

I dropped my BMI (according to the computer) by another .7 points which doesn't seem like a lot however I was really surprised and delighted by the number on the scale......like really excited. I'm finally dropping weight again and it feels damn good!!! I actually have high hopes in this area which is surprising. My obstacle of course will be summer.....outdoor patios, parties, time off. Everybody seems to want to hit the patios for pints in the warm weather not to mention dinner outside and of course house parties. I just need to watch A) how much of this I do and B) the late night drunk munchies. This summer will be a test!!! I'm doing poorly already as I have been invited to 4 different parties in the next few weeks which I have RVSP'd YES to!!!


Completed:


#1 Ride a Mechanical Bull


I had imagined that I would be riding one of those big mechanical bulls like they have in the bars. There is actually a place near me where you can pay $10 and ride one at an indoor amusement type of place. I however chose to ride one in a mall while shopping in Vegas. Not quite what I had in mind but LD put it on the highest level and off I went. Just to be fair I will ride a big one as well but technically this goal has been completed.



#2 Get an RRSP


I recently set up my RRSP's which was much less painful than I had imagined. You see I figured I would get overwhelmed and confused by the information set forth and therefore always put it off (even though it's super important to have). I mean who knows if I'll live another 30 years but just in case I do there should be some sort of retirement fund waiting for me (and now there is).


#15 Stop going to obligated events (IE weddings I don't care about)

I have turned down a myriad of invitations to such things in the past year and a half and it feels great. I was invited to a wedding shower of a person I had not (have not) seen in oh 7 years no thanks! Wedding for the same person.....nope not going. Wedding for another person I haven't seen in about 10 years ... nope! Baby shower for an acquaintance....sorry I'm busy. I refuse to attend such things for people I barely see and am not friends with.

#58 Wear sunscreen everyday for one month 31/31

I started this goal in May which was a good month to start as the weather was getting warmer and I was away in a hot locale for a portion of it. This of course meant that for at least a week I was guaranteed to be wearing the stuff. I just had to make sure to wear it for the other 3 weeks which shockingly I did!
