Autumn Bucket List

Is it really Monday again tomorrow?!

So all over Bloglovin' everyone is talking about their Autumn Bucket list, so naturally I'm jumping on the bandwagon (as the name of the post suggests!)

Taken from www.lovethesepics.com

1. Join a new gym

Since moving house in June, I left my old gym behind and it's safe to say that the thought of traipsing all across town to workout was just not appealing, so last month I bit the bullet and cancelled my membership. Since then I've been overwhelmed with the amount of new gyms that are in my area. I really need to get my act together, get back in my Zaggora's and choose which one is best for me!

2. Start running again.. and then take up cycling!

I used to be so fit and then I blinked and I don't know what happened! Now that I have great running routes all around my house, I need to get myself back in the game and stop blaming the weather for my shortcomings! The main reason for running again is that my other half is a keen cyclist and he's always on at me to come along with him, but I just can't keep up with the pace! I really need to build up my stamina again so I can ride up a steep hill without going into cardiac arrest!

3. Start Christmas Shopping (seriously..)

I do it every. single. year. I make a list, I know what I'm buying and then I leave it til the week before Christmas to get it all bought, wrapped and under the tree. Well not this year! I'm going to be super organised, buy all my presents this month and next and have them all wrapped and under the tree on December 1st.. because that's just how I roll. Yeah, I put my tree up on December 1st. I have me some serious Christmas issues! #christmasobsessed

4. Start watching Breaking Bad

Okay, so I'm really late to the game with this one! But I just never have had the time to sit down and watch this at all and I wasn't completely convinced it was my kind of programme! Everyone and their mum keeps telling me how good this series is, and now I have my afternoons free to fill it full of a Breaking Bad binge! 

5. Finish my house off!

I moved in nearly 5 months ago and there is still so much to do and so much to buy and so much to paint and I need to stop putting it off. I really want my house done and dusted before Christmas so I can kick back and relax during the festive season. 

6. Start baking/Learn to bake!

I got diagnosed as a celiac sufferer almost 2 years ago so I usually stay clear from most baked goods such as cakes and muffins and so on, so forth. I have such a craving for carrot cake and banana bread so I'm going to the supermarket, stocking up on all things gluten and wheat free and I'm going to spend my afternoons off baking.. and watching Breaking Bad obviously.

7. Make a whole load of stews

Autumn means one thing to me. Comfort food. And I can't wait. I love a good stew and a hearty dollop of mashed potato, and luckily so does the boyfriend, so I think it's time to start hunting for some new stew recipes. I'm excited to get my fluffy socks on, cosy up with a big plate of stew and mash and watch Christmas films on the week day nights.

8. Get a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks

Everyone is talking about these Pumpkin Spice Latte and I want in on it. I love a good coffee, and while a white coffee serves me perfectly well.. I'm usually a flavour junkie and will always take a good glug of syrup in my coffee - so I feel like I will absolutely love this latte. I am slightly concerned however that I'll become addicted. Good job I live right next to a Starbucks so I can get my fix. 

9. Go as a Unicorn for Halloween this year. 

Enough said. I am never usually a Halloween fan, I can't even remember the last time I got dressed up and this year I want to go as a Unicorn. I don't know why, I don't know where this idea has come from, but I'm gonna make it happen!

10. Enjoy the season!

Autumn always flies by and I want this season to be about becoming more physically fit, cooking and baking lots, meeting up and spending time with friends, and enjoying the fact I don't work weekends anymore and making the most of them!

What are you guys going to be getting up to this Autumn?
