Usually I do a post reflecting on how this years goals have gone as at the middle of the year, we are officially well past the middle of the year but thought I’d check in and see how I’m going anyway.
My original goals were;
- Finally do the Tongariro Crossing, need to do this before winter! Boom, Done!
- Finally do the Bridge to nowhere trip, also need to lock this in before winter. Boom, Done!
- Decrease BF% by 3% over the year, no more focus on the scales. I am hoping 3% is realistic as that will have me down on the border of the lean and optimal on the BF% scale at our gym, seeing as I have lost the best part of 4% over the past 6 months. If I reach this I think I will be pretty stoked. Boom, Done!
- Move this blog to its own domain and do regular blog posts, finally friggen finally! Haha, there is still time and it’s still on the list.
- Get back into scrapbooking, this past 6 months or so have seen no new pages completed, granted the past 4 or so months I have not had an area to scrapbook. Will need to wangle space to scrapbook into the move 😉 Haha, I did do a few pages at the start of the year then that kind of fizzled out, there is still time.
- I started to write Move to Auckland, but that is not a goal, it is happening. The goal is to find my place up there and be settled and happy there. Half complete, moved and reasonably settled and happy, just have to decide what I want to do workwise.
- Find an awesome job and like the move find my place, make some friends and be settled and happy there. Eh, found a job, it’s ok. Everyone at work is friendly but no real friends as yet, despite that I am comfortable and happy living here.
- Knock a couple of item’s off the bucket list, perhaps;
- Hike the Tongariro Crossing (as above) Boom, DoneVisit La Tour Eiffel at Night (bring on this trip!) Half done, didn’t see it at night but saw it, close enough for me.
- Have an apartment in a biggish city (Auckland could possibly knock this one out) In under two weeks we will be in our new apartment in Auckland.
- Soak in the beauty of a sunset on a beach with a person I love (who know’s when a beach, person I love and myself will all find ourselves together but maybe this year 😉 ) I call this half done, we half watched the sunset over Venice beach in Los Angeles as we were walking back.
- Take dorky photos in front of the leaning tower of Pisa (forgot I even had this on the list, what would you know, going to Pisa!) Half done, took photo’s, the dorky leaning ones are rather hard when you are by yourself. I call this done as it wasn’t a HAVE to do thing for me.
The ones I have finished are the ones I thought I would end up completing and the ones that I haven’t managed to get done yet are the ones that I wouldn’t have been surprised if I didn’t reach them when I wrote them at the start of the year.
Four and a half months to knock the rest out of the way, realistically I may not knock anymore down but that’s ok by me, although by the end of the year I would like to definitely have the work situation sorted and know if this is what I want to continue doing or not.
Have you met any goals you wanted to this year, or have anything you really want to knock off before the end of the year?
