BCB Meme: 5 Goals Before I Grow Old

I missed last weeks BCB Meme so I am posting a day earlier and will be waiting for the official submission link at My so-called experimented blog ;)

I had a list of things I want to do, lots of it but I will be sharing just 5 (for now). Goals or Objectives should follow the S.M.A.R.T. rule. It should Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-Bound. I know I blogged about this topic somewhere, let me dig my posts (I can’t find it here, maybe posted on my other blog).

Anyways, here are my personal ‘TO-DO-LIST’, all these have a five year deadline (I don’t really want to wait until I’m grey and old) and those in red italics are my preparatory steps.

1. Learn and practice Yoga

I did attend some Yoga classes but still haven’t learn the meditation part yet. I want to practice or even master Yoga both for my peace of mind and for health reasons.

2. Travel to Italy

I want to do it alone, try to live there for at least 2 weeks not just see the famous tourist areas. I picture myself reading on the street cafe, visiting museums, taking pictures and just observing their way of life. I am saving some of my blogging money to support this dream.

3. Attend a 5 to 7 day Silent Catholic Retreat

I have to do some soul searching and reaffirm my faith. My cousin recently attended one and so I am planning to do it by next year (next vacation). 

4. Reach my ideal weight of 65Kg

I am 5’4 in height and ideally should weight 55 kg, but since I have a large frame and I’m being honest with myself (not no mention making an attainable goal) I’ll settle for 65kg as my dream weight. Please don’t ask how much I weigh now! I am currently enrolled in a health club and have some losses here and there.

5. Buy/ Pay for a house

I guess this is self explanatory, everybody wants their own home. Construction will start on the later part of the year as our architect/ contractor is quite busy.  We were planning to get a loan but decided just to work with whatever is saved on the bank. I guess it should be finished before my 5 year deadline.

    Nice list! I’m pretty sure you’d be able to attain your ideal weight. I’m on the heavy side too. Lost around 5-6lbs in the last 2 months. Happiness na yun for me. Just keep motivated. I’m thankful that my husband helps and motivates me too.

    I also have probs with gaining weight. It seems to me that losing weight is as easy as 1,2,3 nowadays and it’s a daunting activity to even think about gaining weight.
