Bucket List Project: See My Hip Bones

Along with weight loss ones, this didn't just happen because it was on my bucket list. When I lost weight I've been finally able to see them, and I must say that I am proud of them.

Goodbye 2014!

I'm not gonna lie, I've never been more pleased to have a year over and done with. This year has been one heck of a roller coaster and I'm ready to get off it.
However, this year has brought me a lot of growth, too. I've dealt with many things this year that I never would've thought I would've had to of gone through and it's bringing to be a better and stronger person.

I want to go over the resolutions and what not I'd made from this last year to see if anything as really been done.
You know how these things work 'I'll work out everyday for an hour' three weeks in and you're lucky if you actually wore your yoga pants for yoga.
That's me.

Number one: Get Healthier.

Check. I've done so much better with eating healthy this year than I think I've ever had. Not to say I don't eat junk. I eat my fair share of cookies, but I'm learning balance. If I ate pretty good that day, I'll try not to feel so bad about having a piece of candy or a cookie or two.


Number Two: Blog More.

Check. I'm confident in saying this deserves a check because I think I've done at-least 3 blog challenges and I'm certain that that in itself was more than last year without all the posts I'd done in between.


Number Three: Stop Being So Scared.

Ehhhh I wouldn't say this or that, I've made some big stepping stones but I still worry a lot, but I'm thinking that's just me.


Number Four: Work On My Bucket List.

Okay, I have to update that, I didn't do to much from it to be honest, but I did do some. So in technicality I guess it would be a check, wouldn't it?


Number Five: Read More Books.

I don't think this deserves a check even if my GoodReads account says I've read 27 books. Most were reread and I just don't think I deserve to say it was checked off.


Number Six: Turn My Dreams Into Reality.

This is a work in progress, it's going to take time.

So, what? 3? 2 1/2? out of 5? That's not too bad considering I'm not one to really keep resolutions or anything.


What were your resolutions? Did you accomplish any? If so, what were they?

Bucket List Project: Read At Least 25 Books

 

[source]

This one I honestly didn't think I could do because I was so out of my advocate-reader-self and had a little bit of a hard time getting back into it. I managed to read 27, and possibly 28 if I finish the one I'm in the middle of now, which I'll probably do that here soon before the year ends so I can start off fresh an all.

I really need to work on getting back into the books though, it's not that I don't enjoy reading, it's getting my self to put the time aside to do so.


Here is the list of books I read

Bucket List Project: Lose Ten Pounds

Now before you go and think I lost ten pounds just because of it being a bucket list thing, that's not true. I put them on my list because I actually wanted to lose weight, and ten pounds was acceptable in my healthy weight range, and I was very happy after doing so[:

Bucket List Project: Build A Gingerbread House

I don't think that Christmas is complete without building a gingerbread house. This was the one thing I was dying to do this holiday, my mom surprised me with one a while ago and I've been trying patiently to hold it off until closet to Christmas to make it and be able to enjoy it.

I also found that putting the icing in the micrwave for about 10 - 15 seconds till it was warm helped SO MUCH. It would not stick to the gingerbread at all after kneading it in the package. And it worked wonderfully once it was heated.

I kept it simple. Gingerbread houses are still new to me, I don't understand how people can make them so nicely and perfect.
Until then, I'm content with my little house[:
