The End

Well, folks, the time has come. My Day Zero Project ended exactly a week ago today.

I regret to inform you that I haven't made much of an effort to accomplish any goals since the last time we spoke on the subject :( However, I just realized that I accomplished one without even trying!!

#078: Win a Prize

I was going through the list of things I didn't accomplish with my sister Des and when we stopped at this one she exclaimed, "What a loser!!!" Hahahaha so supportive <3  I thought to myself, have I really not won a single prize in the past 2.75 years???? And that is when it dawned on me, I've won three :) At work, we occasionally have contests to see who can sell the most of a particular brand or product, and guess whatttttt? I have won all three of the contests I've participated in -- two for Paige Denim USA and one for Hudson! My prize? A pair of designer jeans for each contest won :) So I guess I am not a complete loser :)

 

Anyway, the accomplishment of that goal means my final score for the Day Zero Project is 68 out of 101. There were definitely a lot of goals I wish I made more of an effort to accomplish, but you know what? 68 is a LOT and I can't help but to be extremely proud of all of the incredible things that this project inspired me to experience in the past 1,001 days.

Here is the final list, with pictures of the majority of the goals:

Sooo crazy to look back at all of these pictures and see all of the things I have done. 
The coolest thing is to see how much I've grown and changed since I've started the project. I'm not going to make a new list, but there are still many things on this list that I didn't get to do and definitely plan on doing in the near future. I guess I am just one of those people who doesn't know how to live life without a goal or something to push myself towards. 


If you have enjoyed reading about my Day Zero Project, or have ever considered creating a bucket list for yourself, please do it! This has been an incredibly rewarding experience for me and I have loved sharing my experiences with you through this blog.  If I ever find something significant/interesting to blog about, you will be the first to know :) 


And with that, I guess I will say goodbye
