How I did it: This was definitely one of the hardest goals I ever set for myself. One, in fact, that I thought I would never accomplish.But as soon as I realized that forgiveness wasn't for the other person, that it was for me, that's when it made sense and was easier.All the hurt that I carried around from the things that had happened with other people wasn't hurting anyone but me; it wasn't doing them any harm or making them feel bad, only me.When I … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I chose someone at random for 8 weeks and cheerbombed all the entires or goals I thought were noteworthy or interesting.Everyday I felt good about cheering peoples goals and towards the end of each week I started to notice that those people were actually writing MORE entries. I like to think that they were more actively working on their 43 things because there was someone there cheering them along! Read how I did it…
How I did it: Whenever I went grocery shopping or out with friends I'd pick something I'd never had before along with something I knew I liked (just to be on the safe side lol). I didn't let people's opinions about different foods influence me anymore, I tried foods even if my friends said they didn't like it...and sometimes I didn't like it either but other times I did. It just like anything else :you got to do it/try it for yourself and make your own… Read how I did it…
Well my last entry was in August 2010 and since then I have managed to be susccesful.
I have lost 30 lbs and managed to keep it off. I’ve decided that since I am so close I want to drop the last few pounds so that I’m at a “healthy weight” based on my BMI. But I’m not going to start there, I’m going stay on this healthier path (as much as possible) for the rest of my life.
Ok so this has been pushed back until 2012 but oddly enough the planning has actually ramped up lol. Go figure!
By the way, in case anyone is interested TravelZoo.com is awesome.
So techinically I’ve become a published writer, though not as myself.
In my role at work I do a lot of ghost writing for the Association president and in recent months have…
1. Written an article which was published in the Toronto Star
2. Written the foreward to a Beauty Report in the Toronto Star
3. Written two editorials and designed two full page ads for Horizon Travel Magazine
4. Written an essay-torial for the Canadian Medical Association Journal
5. Written a draft editorial for the Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, which was then edited by a physician and published
So ya, I’d say I’m doing ok on this one….I consider this goal completed.
