unlikely

I have realised that there are several items on the list that I just don't think I'm going to achieve. The question is am I just not trying hard enough, not rising to the challenge and all that and would it be a cop-out to remove them from the list, or am I just being realistic.

#26 - In Switzerland employers are required (by law I believe) to provide you with a written reference when you leave job. as such when you apply for jobs there it is expected that you will have these letters attached to your CV. My boss however, did not give me mine when I left, three years later he still hasnt done it (but always says its coming). I asked him for it at least once a week for the few months before I left. After I left I continued to send him email reminders fornightly to no avail. After a couple of months I contacted the HR people who then put some pressure on him - still nothing. I sent him email every month or so for a while but he always had a (long winded) excuse. I just dont think its ever going to happen. The only option I see is to write it myself and then send it to him to amend, but I really dont know what to write. I would just let it go (I more or less have already), but if in the future I want to apply for jobs in Switzerland, not having a reference letter is going to be a problem.

#37 - so far I have only managed to shift 1 kilo permanently from the weight that I was when I wrote this. I'm doing plenty of exercise and I am a lot fitter than I used to be which is a good thing. The problem comes with food and drink. and I'm not eating a lot of crap - I was very proud a couple of weeks ago when my doctor told me I must have great diet after seeing my blood test results, but I do eat a lot and consume a fair amount of beer and wine. The thing is I think I just dont care about this enough and often enough to really want to achieve this one. After all I'm not fat, and I like food and alcohol and I dont want to become one of those "oh, no thanks I'm trying to be good" people, ugh.
