Okay, so before I nix my first set of 101 goals here's an update on what I actually did accomplish:

So I hit 27 out of 101 goals, but I really wasn't paying attention to the list for the last year and a half, so not too shabby. I'm shocked by how different my new list is going to be, so it is definitely interesting seeing how much I've changed in such a short time.
