100 Things in 365 days

I've always been a fan of to do lists. (Not that I've ever actually completed one) It helps keeps me organized and gives me a visual reminders. There is a lot of things that I want to get done and what a better way than to make a to do list! I came across a blog that had a big to do list to complete over the course of a few years. My very first challenge on this blog! I've already decided that I'm not going to lie about anything. So if I don't take my multivitamin I'm not going to write that I did it. I'm mostly doing this to get myself motivated and trying to change my life. I'm very excited to try this out.


So here is my list: 100 things to do in 365 days
