I recently stumbled across Rosie from http://www.voussouriez.com's blog and read her 101 things in 1001 days list. I loved the concept, so popped over the Day Zero website where this project began - you can check that out here! After having a good think about it, I decided to put together my own list. So here it is - a list of 101 things I aim to achieve over the next 1001 days (which apparently is roughly 2.75 years) - I'll figure out the end date and include it later! Some are pretty deep and meaningful, and some are pretty superficial, I thought it made sense to keep it a nice mix! So as of today, Thursday 8th August 2013, I intend to...

Aww thanks, hope you have and AMAZING time in NY!! :) xx
DeleteThis is so interesting! I might do something like this too :) Loved reading your list. lol I can never seem to find a workout I like and stick to it either. Although I've recently found I prefer yoga & pilates more. I also stumbled across a youtube channel called BeFit, that has loads of workout dvds on, all different types, so maybe you want to check that out too for ideas? just a suggestion :) xx
ReplyDeletePretty Wonderful
Thanks so much for the suggestion! :) xx
