12/12/12

Well, what better time to set new goals, try something new, and share it with the world than turning 26. HA! I had always been the one who counted down my birthday for months. When you have a December birthday you only get one month out of the year to "want" things. This year I did not count down my birthday, I sort of even hoped no one remembered it was my birthday (except thanks to facebook everyone knew!) I, for some reason, was throwing myself a little pity party about it until 12/12/11 got here. I decided I would make a list of 26 things I wanted to accomplish before 12/12/12--
1. Start a blog
2. Read a book a month
3. Try a new paleo recipe once a week
4. Crossfit min. 3xs per week
5. Get up early enough to get things done
6. Travel some where Ive never been
7. Write a handwritten letter to someone once a month
8. Buy a house
9. Start my retirement
10. Distance myself from the people who bring me down.
11. Join a small group
12. Run another half marathon in a city Ive never been to. (and set a PR)
13. Take more pictures
14. Get over my fear of guns by buying one and learning to use it
15. Volunteer helping someone in need
16. Eat less sugar
17. Reach 30 massages a week
18. Receive a massage every 6 weeks.
19. Become a better painter
20. Increase my knowledge of random facts
21. Start a game night
22. Keep my car as clean as I keep my house
23. Coach a little league basketball team
24. Go skydiving
25. Take a self defense class
26. Travel for 12/12/12 (NYC, Cali?)

Hope this finds you having a wonderful day and motivates you to set new goals :-)
