Here's the items I am going to tackle starting ASAP...
13. Complete my 8 week workout program
28. Follow my new meal plan for two weeks with no deviation
It seems any little tiny thing throws me off and I get going and then poof! I have plenty of company coming the next couple of weeks and the boy has his kids this weekend so this weekend I'm on my own and will be getting myself prepped and in gear.
I won't let the slightest change in schedule or sleeping in deter me from sticking to my plan, I won't let social occasions lead me astray from my healthy foods nor will I sit at home like a hermit because this is my lifestyle and I need to learn to manage all situations without falling off the wagon.
So here's to green juice, walking the dogs and starting down the road to super healthy buffdom!

#94 Done!
94. Start composting
Well, as luck would have it, some friends of mine had a compost bin that they were not wanting, it had been left by the previous owners of the house they just bought. So when offered, I said absolutely! And here is the lovely now, sitting by the garden beds at the edge of the shed....
It's quite a sad little pile of rubbish in there and I know for certain I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm going to have a go at it and see how it turns out. I felt so bad wasting the loads of fruit and veg scraps I have these days so I started putting them in there straight away.
I have been blocking the entrance there as I have plenty of possums, raccoons and neighborhood critters that wander my backyard (it's almost an acre).
Happy composting!

34. Sell or trade in my current car
Well, got that one squared away first thing this morning! I had gone to look at a car I really wanted yesterday but sure enough someone got there just before me and bought it... it had been on the dealer lot for a few weeks so figured I was safe. Oh well. I test drove a few others that were also candidates although at the top of my price range and finally settled on one and got the deal I was hoping for on my trade.
Or did I perhaps get that backwards?!?!?! Well, that WAS the point after all really.

In with the new....

#98 Done!
This was an important one to complete as it was to actually finish creating this list :)
I went through my final iteration of the list today and feel pretty good about it. I can do a bit more tweaking like put counts on items that require it ie x/10, etc. to measure individual item progress more closely but will do that as I start getting to things and feel it's needed.
2 down, 99 to go....
