One of my resolutions this year was to do a better job of working on my 101 in 1001. I was inspired by some great bloggers to put my list into action last summer. To see where my inspiration came from you can visit Crystal Cattle's, Brandi Buzzard's, and Melissa Chestnut's 101 in 1001 page on their blogs. I started my list back in June and it has been a little neglected since then. Now that I've been on break from school for a few weeks I've attempted to accomplish some of these goals and I've had some success in doing so. It always feels great to put a goal in the "completed" column!
The 411 behind a 101 in 1001 is that you write down 101 goals and have 1001 days to complete them. I've listed all of my goals on the blog in order to be held accountable by all of you to accomplish them. The goals I've achieved are in orange and the ones in progress are in green. You can see the entire list under the 101 in 1001 tab on the home page of the blog, but I'm going to list a few here and give you an update on the progress I've made so far.

Thanks, Erin! I had a chance to read through your 101 in 1001 and you've got top-notch list of things to accomplish!
DeleteBest of luck with your list and I look forward to seeing you cross things off!
I love your list too, completely different, and I like the themes! You got it for finishing your list!

Thanks, Melissa, for being one of the people to inspire me to start my own list! You are making a lot of progress on your list as well!
DeleteYou're making a lot of progress! And you look fantastic in all of those wedding pictures.... as usual :)

Thanks for the compliment, Buzzard! You're making a ton of progress on your list too! Thanks for inspiring me to start my own list, now we just have to hold each other accountable to complete them!
DeleteLove it! You're a rockstar!
ReplyDeleteA few I can help you with:
1. I will watch Disney/Pixar movies all day. Every day. Name the place and time!
2. When I get there and when your schedule finally evens out, we can train for that marathon!
G
Thanks, Gina!
DeleteI will definitely take you up on both of your offers! There have been so many new Disney/Pixar movies I haven't seen. We could probably spend an entire day catching up. I may have to train a little bit by myself before I can start running with you. ;) All I'll do is hold you back until I can get up to running 15 miles a day like you do.
