My 50 things to achieve by my 50 th birthday .. From today June 9 2021 until July 19 2022....

I am a stay at home mum who has a few health issues and i like to try and make goals to work towards each year.

If i dont reach all of them i am not going to get upset about it because i dont want to stress about them , rather they give me something to look forward to and take my mind off my pain,and i want to be a role model to my 2 adult children that you should always have goals and do your best to achieve them.

My goals are as follows...

1/ Get into the healthy weight range for my height..

I have struggled all of my life with my weight going up and down..As a child and a teen i was always skinny. My relatives used to call me long and lanky, skinny and cranky.

But after high school i started putting on weight and when i met my husband at age 23, i weighed around 76kgs, then i went down to 62 in time for our wedding at age 27.

Two children, a few bouts of depression, and a lot of different medical conditions over the next 21 years ,saw my weight plummet to 57 when i had pancreatitis at age 38 , then go up to 94 at age 44 and now in june 2021 i weigh 86.

The healthy weight range for my height is 56-71 kgs. So if i can get into that range and stay there i will be happy..i just want to be healthy.

2/Everything in our house has a place..

For our home to be clean and inviting and to know where everything is.

3/ Help my son and daughter get their licences by continuing to teach them how to drive.
