Winter Bucket List Recap

The end is nigh...

Winter is coming to a close, and with it I have run out of time to complete my winter bucket list! 

Therefore, it's time for a recap!

1: Try a recipe from my Clean Eating Recipe book!

I did not complete this, at all!

 

2: Run the whole of a 5k (no walking breaks)

Nooope. Didn't happen

3: Post 3 book reviews (1 a month seems achievable!)

Man, I have not done much on this list at all...

4: Plan a trip

YES. I did do this! (1 out of 4 so far...) I have planned my Scotland trip, and Ireland trip. Both are booked! 

5: Lose weight over Christmas and New Years

I maintained my weight over Christmas and new years...nope doesn't count.

6: Have enough saved up to move out

I moved out, so I think this is a tick.

7: Clear out/tidy up the pile of stuff in my room

Yes - I did this when I moved out

8: Dye my hair one last time before the end of December (NYR to come involving this...)

Yes I did this - and I have stuck to my New Years Resolution of not dying my hair ever since...I am beginning to show some roots now

9: Fit back into some of my old clothes

No, did not complete

10: Do something awesome for my birthday

My actual birthday was very low-key, but I did do a couple of things - one of which was going to see Wicked which was pretty awesome, so that is a yes.

Final verdict: 5/10 completed!

All in all, not too bad. I would have liked to done the book reviews and recipe but there we go...there's always spring!

What do you want to achieve this winter?

Autumn Bucket List

Hi all! November is over... DECEMBER TIME is here! If you've been paying attention, as a part of the #Blogtober14 Challenge one of the prompts was to write a Fall Bucket List. I thought it would be a good idea to take a look back and see what I have achieved from it just before we slip into the winter months...

The Original List

1. First and foremost, complete my first blog challenge - #BLOGTOBER14

2. Fit some running into my weekly routine, and stick with it!

3. Eat better

4. Post minimum of 2 book reviews

5. Try a recipe from my Clean Eating book

6. Look after my skin throughout autumn

7. Try some de-stress techniques each day

8. Start going to Zumba

9. Start looking for and planning gifts for Christmas (only 80 days away!)

Here's how I did:

1: CHECK. Big fat check on this - as evidenced in my October posts! 

2: I think I've done okay on this, I'm part of a running group and I try to make sure I get to the sessions every week...

3: Hmmmm this can still be improved, but I have been eating better than I did through the summer.

4: FAIL. I didn't get around to doing this, November just flew by me and I didn't post anything I had planned #sadface

5: FAIL. I haven't done this, I still want to though! Perhaps when I'm off work over Christmas... 

6: I haven't paid any attention to this one, so another FAIL.

7: FAIL, again. I think about doing it quite often, but have never actually implemented anything.

8: FAIL. However, I'm not sure this one is entirely my fault. When I wanted to go, it got cancelled, then when I couldn't go, it was on. Just bad timing all around I think!

9: CHECK. I've been thinking about Christmas a lot recently, and have got a few gifts together for it...Still a long ways to go though!

Overall, I achieved 4 / 9 on my bucket list. Overall, not too bad - could have been worse! 

I hope November went well for everyone, and lets look forward to a good December!

#BLOGTOBER14 - Day 5

Day 5 - My Fall Bucket List

I haven't really made a bucket list before. I have to do lists and things I want to do/buy/see lists, but never really a specific bucket list. I was both looking forward to and worrying about this prompt...I assume this is October to the end of November? 

Without further adieu, my Fall bucket List:

1. First and foremost, complete my first blog challenge - #BLOGTOBER14
2. Fit some running into my weekly routine, and stick with it!
3. Eat better
4. Post minimum of 2 book reviews
5. Try a recipe from my Clean Eating book
6. Look after my skin throughout autumn
7. Try some de-stress techniques each day
8. Start going to Zumba
9. Start looking for and planning gifts for Christmas (only 80 days away!)

Ummm....I can't really think of much else...sorry for this not being particularly exciting!

Link up and show me how it's done ;)
