I know mid year wouldn’t technically be until the end of June but who wants to get technical anyway? I’ve made a lot of progress in some areas and just about none in others. It will be nice to have a little direction moving into the second half of the year.
Health
Lose 50 more lbs *I’ve lost about 80 total, not too shabby.
Run another 5K (under 35 minutes) *I’ve slowed down on all my running endeavors — the back story is here. But I am still going to run a bit more before the year is out.
Run a10K
Do 10 Non-Girl Push ups *Man, I can still only do about 2. Come on upper body!
Continue Paleo Cooking/Eating *Yep, and still loving it
Sleep 8 Hours Per Night *I’m doing this 95% of the time
Travel
Visit all of the following places:
Austin *Planning on it for The Blathering in October!
Arizona
New Mexico *Done! And it was a blast!
Boston

Random Other Stuff Thrown In For Good Measure
Find a good red lipstick *No surprises, Chanel Glossimer (Spark) is still my fave.
Buy a pair of boots
Make a Cooking Bucket List (done!)
Read 50 books *Holy hell I’ve already read 37
Start Fertility Charting *Yep
Entertain at least once a month (January: New Year’s Brunch with Kelly + Gee, February: No one – but two in March counts, right? March: John + Janine, Jeremy + Katie April: No one May: Garrett’s 30th Bday) *Pretty good on this one, I think.
Write somewhere daily *Yep, and how awesome it has been!
See one of my favorite writers speak *Planning on trying to swing David Sedaris in November
Go to the ballet
Wine Taste in Amador
All in all, I am feeling pretty good with my progress at the halfway point. Health and Random Stuff are definitely earning A’s. I’d give Travel a good solid B-. Finances is currently getting an F but mostly I’m just being lazy about that. Home Improvement is definitely getting an F but this should not come as a surprise to you. We’ll see what happens.
Looking forward to checking items off this list along with my Summer Bucket List and maybe a few things off of my Cooking Bucket List.
I better stop typing and get busy!
love your list. i started a 40 before 40 list and your list has totally inspired me. i think i only have 6 things on my list so far! 🙁
I demand a heads up when you come to Boston.
