Thirty before 30

Around my 28th Birthday I decided to start on a Thirty before 30 list, as 101 in 1001 are all the rage, but I couldn’t commit to writing a list, let along completing the tasks!

Here’s my list:

1. Finish my Masters – done!!
2. Visit Japan
3. Run 8km- done!
4. Sort out my diet – done!
5. Buy some knee-high boots that fit my calves
6. Learn to cook tofu in at least 3 ways (including stirfry)
7. Read 20 Popular Penguins (a few can be checked off already, will let you know in my first update!)
8. Do some unassisted chin-ups
9. Eat gluten free hot cross buns – Done. I think?
10. Finishing knitting the pink/red scarf that’s been in the cupboard part done for at least 2 years- erm I threw it out in the move
11. Run 10 km (Mothers day classic?) – Done and done!
12. Have made at least 2 things from each cookbook I own
13. Meet at least 10 more ‘internet people’ IRL – too easy!
14. Sell or play my clarinet
15. Drastically reduce my diet coke intake – no more than one in a day, no more than 4 in a week – haven’t had diet coke since Jan 14, 2011
16. Have a caffeine free month – probably won’t happen. I did two weeks!
17. Try Body Balance. At least twice.
18. Properly tag all my mp3s
19. Do a pole dancing course or burlesque course (I’ve only done a one-off hens night)
20. Make this gingerbread cake
21. Get down to my “preferred weight” and maintain it for 3 months
22. Successfully give blood (ie no passing out before they have enough) – this won’t be happening for a couple of reasons. Silly rules
23. Take and blog a photo a day of me for a month
24. Buy a re-usable coffee cup for my takeaway coffee (recommendations sought) – done.
25. Sew a skirt
26. Sew a dress
27. Do a wine tasting course
28. Go skinny dipping!
29. Bake awesome vegan cupcakes to take into work – done!
30. “Go Dark” for a weekend (preferably on the South Coast!)
