It’s so hard to believe that I’m at under 150 days to complete the rest of my 40 by 40 list! For all that I’ve accomplished, there’s still a lot to do. So, I did what came naturally. I made a whole list/calendar plan to get me to the finish line.
As of this blog, I’ll have 19/40 of the things on the list completed, which is fantastic! But that still leaves over half to go, which feels daunting. So here’s an update on what’s still to go and a couple of little changes I made because I can…because it’s my list.
My last travel-related item on the list is traveling back to Zion National Park. Located just a couple of hours from Las Vegas in Utah, it is one of the most stunning places I’ve ever been. This first time I visited, I was only able to stay about a day and a half, but when I return in mid-October I’ll be able to get lots more exploring and hiking done. I’m also so excited to see what the park looks like in the fall.
During my planning marathon, my biggest focus was to plan out the build-up to my remaining tasks that are physical in nature…doing another 5K and hip thrusting 250 pounds. Both of these will require additional training and planning, so my handy-dandy calendar and a few apps will help guide the way. I also found a very fun-looking 5K in early December, so that’s my target for getting back up to speed…well, to Megan speed anyway (she does not run fast).
I also made a couple of small changes to items on my list. My desire to buy a bike and ride to Katfish Katy’s felt like it could be downgraded to just buying my damn bike because a.) Katfish Katy’s is closed and b.) I also have a full bike or walk of the MKT trail on my list. I also changed hosting a game night to holding a Winter Solstice party. Frankly, it just sounds like more fun and it accomplishes the same goal of having awesome people I love spending time in my home.
It’s both exciting and scary to be heading closer and closer to 40. I’ve knocked some of those fears aside by already starting to pull together my 50 by 50 list (that concept just seems bananas to me), and I can’t wait to share it with you once it’s ready. Until then, I shall be consulting my calendar and plowing ahead. Let’s go!
