101

I decided I was going to write an all new 101 list. Why not? My life has changed a lot since I wrote my last list in 2008 and some of the stuff I had on my list isn't really applicable to my life right now or won't be before the 1001 days for that list had ended.
 
But then I thought well maybe I should just concentrate on my 30 before 30 list. I turn 30 at the end of this year and I would love to tick off quite a few things. BUT THEN maybe I can do both at once (Hey coming up with 101 things is hard ok!)
 
I  think I did well getting through 30 activities in JUST over 1 year means I was on track technically. But some of the big stuff just isn't doable. Some of it will move across to my new list and some of it will be left for later.
 
So should I rewrite my list or should I just stick with progressing through what I have?

OMG I have finally done it - I swear week after week of thinking "This time I'll be double digits" was starting to annoy me. I'm officially in the double digit territory and that's where I plan on staying! WOOHOOO. This also means I just achieved the goal I had set for reaching 99.9kg which was my heels from Wittner and the Tanita scales. Both of which cost over $100 so will be waiting for a sale after the Engagement party. (Anyone able to get Tanita or Wittner deals? haha)
 
OMG I just realised my next goal takes me to the half way mark of my weight loss journey! 95.1kgs and I have MBT's as being the reward for that one.
That may depend a lot on cash flow cause those things are far from cheap.  Why does everything cost so much?

Days 1 - 7 of 365

L-R 1) LOL Mango drink, 2) My new desk (for now) 3) My new bed setting
4) [Centre] Doing my New Years Day Measurements
5) Boogie Nights Nails Movie Premiere (I'm too good) 6) Christmas Cards 7) Looking at You! Playing with eyeshadows


1) We bought some of the LOL drinkn cause we thought it was funny. It actually tastes really nice. It's a carbonated Mango juice drink.
2) They have moved everything into the new office but there is no staff yet. This is my desk for now until I a) officially get promoted and get the corner office or b) lose my job completely.
3) My new bed setting, Bought myself a King size doona and setting this week. I ♥ it!
4) I have this great list that I can write down ideas to blog about. And I thought this pic was perfect to show my start to the new year.
5) I have been doing my own nails again. I haven't done anything outrageous for years so this is "Boogie Nights Movie Premiere" French Nails. It's a coloured acrylic. I'm going to start doing others nails again too. I have very limited places available as I obviously need to have a life too so it's going to be first in best dressed - I'm on the Northern Beaches.
6) This year I put all of our Christmas Cards on the blinds behind our bed. I loved seeing them everyday and had to take a photo before they were taken down.
7) For my birthday I was given a GORGEOUS eyeshadow palette and I simply had to play. I have never played with make up and didn't do it when becoming a beautician so I am using some of the You Tube Tutorials to feel my way around.

Is it the weekend yet?

I hear a Strawberry Daiquiri calling my name. An hour plus drive time to go.

Are you happy, or do you want more?

It has come to my attention that the majority of people joining the gym have a birthday the same month. Freaky coincidence or do we really and subconsciously start to think about our lives, getting older and looking after ourselves better around our birthdays?

 

I know my last birthday was a bit scary. I turned 29 just over a week ago. It’s so close to 30! It’s not really turning 30 that has me scared so much. (I think) It’s all the things I think I should have accomplished in my life before now.

 

Things like fit and healthy, a successful career, marriage, home and children.

 

You guys know exactly where I am headed with fit and healthy and I am happy to say at least I am pointed in the right direction. Calories in vs Calories out. Just sensible eating for someone who hasn’t been doing any activity. I have spoken with Loz  about getting back into our training programs and we are setting ourselves up for next week. Need to write some programs.

 

My career is in a bit of a mess right now. I have moved from seconded role to seconded role. Now the role I am in is being made permanent with a big pay rise. I should be partying right? Except for the fact that it has been advertised and I have to apply for it.

 

I freaked out about that part cause I thought that might mean I don’t get it and that I just go back to a club. BUT then I found out if I don’t get the job and I don’t get another job in the meantime I will not have a job at all anymore.

 

Finding out stuff like this on Christmas Eve is a big downer! I have to admit I’m trying to forget about it and stick my head in the sand like it will all just disappear. That needs to stop.

 

Marriage, well at least we know it WILL happen. I’m in the throws of planning at the moment. I have to say people like Miss Nicky absolutely amaze me with how quickly and perfectly they can put themselves together. It’s like they have their wedding perfectly planned beforehand. Me I have too many maybes and not enough definites. I always panic that I’ll make a decision and then something better will come along. Still I will be 30 when we get married. What happened to being 21 married with 3 kids? 21 was so long ago.

 

FH does own his own home but shares ownership with his mother so I feel that it is their house and not my own.  It also means when it comes to things like wanting to clear the creepy doll collection out of the sideboard or removing the cluttering knick knacks I  can only want.

 

I am far from a perfect housewife and I would adore to be a Bree Van Der Kamp domestic goddess but while I go through fazes it never sticks.

 

One day I hope we can buy her out or get our own home but FH does not want to sell. I know exactly where he is coming from and a big part of me feels exactly the same. Only thing is I haven’t yet won lotto to pay her out yet either.

 

And the children thing – cannot happen until we are married.

 

What about you? How do you feel with where you are in life? Do you want more?
