Happy New Year 2011

Happy New Year to you all and now I realise that time is getting on and I really need to get a wiggle on if I am going to complete my challenge.

I have until 29th November 2011 to complete the remaining 38 tasks.
have got a few lined up for January and have a setback on one that is losing weight, how annoying it is to lose the same pounds over and over again.  So like lots of people am back on a diet from Tuesday as that is the end of the holiday for New Year and will need to try to get back into an exercise routine or it will all be for nothing the weight that I lost already I mean.
Some are already more than half way done so shouldn't be too difficult to get on with but some will be a real challenge.
Onwards and upwards.

Wear Everything in my Wardrobe Once or give it away 80/100

Had a good look at my wardrobe and went through it throwing out at least 50 things to a charity shop I mean.
Sadly then decided to arrange it by colour and order skirts trousers tops etc.
Realised I have worn everything apart from some very posh outfits or black clothes bought for a funeral so feel like this has been completed well enough to be counted off.
It does seem better to have less clothes but clothes that I feel good in.
Am a little worried that I won't be able to fully complete my challenge but am soldiering on and having a good look at my targets.  Adding a few more and looking at ones that could be completed fairly easily if I put my mind to it.
Strangely find myself doing some again I guess because I have enjoyed them and some that should be really easy are proving problematic- such as going to the library 5 times- easy you would think but haven't found it so.
Am not losing interest but am not able to do some because of money or time or sickness but I WILL complete it.

Gratitude Journal- carrying on 2

1. Went to Ireland with Terry and Linda to visit with Michael and Eileen

2. All wanted to go to Cork so with organisation was able to go and enjoyed outing. Eileen bought lots of clothes and we were her personal shoppers.

3. Saw all boys- great nephews they were very cute

4. Back to Colchester flights were both on time and uneventful

5. Stayed overnight and went to Mum's on Saturday for a visit

Gratitude Journal- one month 15

1. Got email from Bruce from CFIDS to say about using pedometer for pacing and to do between 1000 and 5000 steps a day if you have fibro or CFIDS. Never thought about using one for limiting activities. Good idea
2. Went to Crooked Billet with David Pierce Michelle and Rosie
3. Pub was full of medical students in fancy dress- best ones Avatar- great for people watching
4. Had lovely dinner here and chocolate cake- vegetarian lasagne leek and mushroom
5. Talked about Ireland trip Michelle is sorting accomodation at hostel

One Year gone already- March 2010

Looking back at my older posts I realise that 1st March 2010 is my one year anniversary of the day I started so there are 39 things completely done and several that are being worked on this month. I think that getting that many done in a year is actually brilliant and owe my sticking to my target setting as a side effect of having a chronic illness and learning about target setting from various courses that I have attended. So there is a positive out of a negative.

Looking at the ones remaining on my list I think the only thing that could stop me completing all is lack of funds rather than will power and am already thinking about new items to add onto my list.

Sorry will post again soon

Sorry not to have posted for so long. Its not that I haven't been working on my 101 list just life happened and this went to one side. Will get back into regular posting NOW

Monthly Check-In-April Linda

I can't believe its only been a month and I have already managed to complete 8 things from my list. It must be all those years of target setting for pain relief and pacing that have helped me.

1 We had a lovely spa day together here and may repeat it, it was very relaxed hope to do another one maybe at my Mum's.
2 I really enjoyed getting rid of the work papers and if I find any more bits around I just rip them up and throw them away-freedom.
3 I liked wearing the dresses every day and got a few compliments off hubby so may wear them more often.
4 The blog has been very interesting to do ad I can't wait to see Sues one about geneology I'm sure it will be very good, so although I have complted my month and as you know am doing two blogs I will carry on at least until the 1001 days are up.
5 Following on from the blog was writing an article about the 101 list for the fibro group so one target helped complete another one- how great was that.
6 Putting more plants in garden was really lovely and I can't wait to see all the flowers caome up. 7 Sharing skills has gone really well and I am hoping to learn card making with a friend or sister Liz?
8 What a week it was in Turkey went way out of my energy envelope but my house is beautiful and I can't wait to go back there in five weeks time.

Things I am still working on are donating rice to freerice which makes you feel goos as well as keeping the old brain ticking over. Have started a website but not done anything to it other than link it to this blog. Still trying to wear all clothes in my wardbobe which should be easier now have tidyed up and ordered it. Cupboard tidying is ongoing helped by my little mousey visitor.

My only problem was not buying clothes for a month only lasted 25 days then "needed" new pajamas for Turkey. Soooo have to start again on that one although I think I certainly saved some money. Will have to try and look at my wardrobe as my new "shop".

hope to see a few more people adding their posts but I can always do it for you and even their lists.
