The List (To Be Edited Entry)

I figured it would be nice to have an entry in this blog where I can edit the list. I didn't want to do that on the orginal one because I like having it untouched. So this entry will be revisited as I finish them.

Goal One: Lose enough weight to be 120 pounds and not go over 135 pounds


Goal Two: Save $2500


I recently had to use most of my savings to pay on my medical bills. I counted down how much I would have to save per paycheck until August and I don't think I'll be able to save it. So I'll just have to save as much as I can until then.








Goal Three: Finish college



Due to unforeseen events, I do not believe I will be able to cross this goal off within a year.

Goal Four: Get my license

Goal Five: Purchase (or decide not to purchase) books and movies from my list I keep a running list of movies/books I want to buy.




Goal Six: Get a tattoo (once I lose weight)



Goal 6 Edited: buy a good curling iron/straightener



I decided to switch out the tattoo goal and a goal from the next list. I will be getting a tattoo for a "I moved out of my house" gift to myself.

Goal Seven: Either get my ears pierced again OR once I lose weight have my belly button pierced

Goal Eight: Do the 365 pictures challenge (2009)

Goal Nine: Work out for 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week for 2 months

Goal Ten: Obtain a new phone in July of 2009 and then one is July 2011

Goal Eleven: Send a postcard to Postsecret once a year

Goal Twelve: Stay on top of getting my pictures printed off and put them away

Goal Thirteen: Get my puzzles framed, plus 2 posters


Since I have no where to hang the posters/puzzles, I really don't see a point in having them framed yet. So I'm crossing this off.

Goal Fourteen: Buy a new Audrey Hepburn poster

Goal Fifteen: Write a novel

Goal Thirty: Have 3 pictures I’ve taken and print them/frame them







Goal Thirty-One: Buy an ice cream maker and use it I don't need this goal anymore. The reason why I put it on this list was because I wanted to make homemade ice cream. I found a recipe where I don't need to have an ice cream maker! Score.

Goal Forty-Eight: Go on a vacation by myself once I graduate



Due to unforeseen setbacks, I can't say that I will graduate within a year, so I will be unable to finish this goal.

Goal Sixty-Six: NOT buy something penguin-related




Goal Sixty-Seven: Go 1 month without fast food (including Arby’s)




Goal Sixty-Eight: Do the detox diet




After more research, I realized that "detox diets" are not healthy at all. I will just try to not eat fast food/junk food, which was the purpose of this goal. Eventually, if I don't eat it that often for a long time in a row, my body will detox itself.
