Sometimes life gets in the way...

As you may know, I've been working on a "101 in 1001" list. I'm now down to the last 8 months. I've gotten a long ways, but still have a bunch to do. I'm sure I won't get 100% of them done, but am working at it with more focus again lately.
Is it cheating, if I take some that I wasn't able to do (like walking 2-3 times a week during pregnancy...I'm not going to have another opportunity to do that one) and replace it with another one? Part of me considers it cheating, but part of me thinks that makes it more challenging, because I'm not just replacing it with something I've already done.
But sometimes it's just hard to do everything you plan to. I really doubt I'll get in a nap every day for a week, too. I've had to adjust some of them to my lifestyle as it is now, things like my inbox. Originally, I'd said I would clear my inbox for an entire week. But that's tough...I get letters from people who really would be flabbergasted if I suddenly responded instantly, and then went back to not writing for weeks. So doing it every week for a month, I feel, is more productive and a better stretch. Maybe it will keep me doing it beyond the month too...I'd like to think I could write back to people with more regularity again!

Okay, Josh...your turn to write about your Father's Day Present ;)

I don't think you're cheating...I think you're learning about YOU, and what's realistic for YOU...which is such an important piece to setting goals. Good luck!
