Wish List Challenge

[kingsley]

Hi Everyone,

In the first diary entry of my journal, I mentioned that at the beginning of this year, I started a "wish list". I have been writing on this list all of the things that I have wanted to do in my life but have been putting off for one reason or another. All of those things that you say "One Day I Will....". Now, to be honest with myself, a lot of the items on my list are on there because I have always been too afraid to do them because of my weight. Things like doing a tandem sky-dive or riding a horse or canoeing to name a few.

This all came about as I turn 40 in December. My goal when I turned 39 was to spend 2008 getting fit and healthy (unfortunately I only learnt about Cohen's in late April but never mind, I am here now). As the saying goes, life begins at 40 and I am planning on living my life to the fullest. My goal for 2009 onwards will be to actually start crossing items off of my "wish list". As they are things that I have always wanted to do, it is a great motivator.

Trips has taken this one step further and suggested that we start a Wish List Challenge that we can all start doing immediately. To quote Trips " I hope everyone takes time to think of something to do that they havent done before, or in a long time and gives it a go!"

When you think of something, please commit to it by posting it in this thread and then let us know when you have seen it through and of course, how it went.

So put your thinking caps on and let the games begin
