Twenty Five Before Twenty Five - UPDATE!

I haven't given an update on my 25 before 25 list. I'm slowly checking things off which is not good since I only have a few months left before I turn 25. But hopefully I am able to complete my list before then! 


I'm reading as much as I can while I'm only taking one class. I need to get all of my books in, I'm going to be made if I can't cross this one off the list. I've worked out a budget and am trying to adhere to it, but I think it needs some tweaking. I'm working out frequently, and starting to watch what I'm eating to be able to loose those twenty five pounds, so far, well, I'm down 5, 20 to go! I've worked through the A's and the B's in my iTunes list. This is an easy task I can do while watching TV at my computer. I haven't been reading my bible or blogging. I was really hoping to get into this. The one thing that I can completely cross off is make a soup! Which I ended up making two of, and they were both delicious. I can't wait to share the details of them!

Twenty-Five before Twenty-Five

Twenty-five seems to be a pivotal age. I have about six months before I’ll be turning twenty five, and I’d like to ring it in with completing my list of twenty - five before twenty - five. 


I'll keep updating the list when I have accomplished one of the many things on the list. I'm excited for the challenge to complete it before May 29th, 2012!
