Why a Bucket List?

I have always been quite goal driven, but more so in the last few years.  Once I set my mind on a challenge I am usually determined to complete the task to the very best of my ability.  I have set myself quite a few fitness goals in the last year, and blogged about them on my other blog :http://fitlesley.blogspot.com/ so I thought I would extend this idea to other areas of my life to help me achieve my dreams.

My bucket list is a mixture of travel, fitness, extreme experiences and other personal goals which may seem insane to some readers (and my family), but now I have written them down, a lot more achievable to me! Some of the challenges will be fairly easy to accomplish such as giving blood, some will require me to save my pennies up such as going on the Orient Express, some will require specific training and determination, such as running a marathon whilst others such as white water rafting will be a challenge of nerve!

Now I have a plan for the next 5 years  -  writing what I would like to achieve gives me a focus and it will be thrilling to be able to tick them off one by one celebrating each achievement individually! 

Please leave comments, I'd love to hear from anyone who has completed any of these harebrained ideas!!!

I will try and keep this blog up-to-date so you can see how I am getting on...
