I saw on a few blogs, that instead of making resolutions, they made a type of bucket list. It's called 101 in 1001. It's a list of 101 things you hope to accomplish in the next 1001 days.
Well... I made a list. I thought I would have a hard time coming up with 101 things, but I could have added so many more! I do have some goals for the new year (such as getting down to 140 lbs), so some of the items are related to being more active.
Technically, I wanted the 1001 days to start yesterday, but I was late posting the list. So, 1001 days from yesterday is September 28th, 2016.
Here we go!
