Bucket Lists!!!
OK, so I know it's probably overly morbid to think of falling gracefully from this mortal world BUT I have a bucket list. Sure, I want to make sure I complete these things before I kick it (the bucket - pass on - DIE!) but a lot of them are a little more short term.
So regardless what we call it, I wanna know what everyone has on their list. What to you want to do with life? What goals do you have (weight loss or not)?
Here's a few things from mine:
- Cycle in the MS 150 - Houston - Austin TX. (It's a 150 mile bicycle ride that raises money for MS). - APril 2011
- Compete in a Triathlon
- Compete in an Aerobics comp.
- Hike to the top of a "14'ner" here in Colorado (that's a pretty big mountain for those who don't know!)
- Run the NYC Marathon
- Ride a motorcycle West to East and North to South of the U.S (and then Australia too!).
- Make it into the All Stars Roller Derby Team
- Get that Roller Derby team to Nationals!!!!
- Sit on a Beach in a remote part of the world with my Hubby.
- Complete my Personal Trainers Certificate.
- Complete my Masters in Nursing and Midwifery.
- Live in NYC for a year (and I mean Manhattan baby)... FYI: I lived in Brooklyn when my husband was stationed there and while it was cramped and crowded, I miss the sights and sounds and tastes and smells. I'd also like to do this once the kids have grown up!
- Be able to say I have been to every continent in the world.
Sooooo that's just a few things. If I wrote the whole list down we'd be here all day. I suppose this one includes some of my fitness ambitions too (since it's relevant to the site).
So... What are yours????

I have an autoimmune disease, or maybe two, my doctors can't make up their mind, and for a while (Before I started eating healthy and exercising!) I was REALLY sick and I honestly thought I wouldn't live long, so I figured I should make a very serious bucket list. That is why the first two on my list are so serious/lovey dovey.
Help someone.
Tell family and friends how much I love them and how much they mean to me.
Hot air balloon ride.
Visit a giant aquarium.
Chicago/New York trip - for pizza comparison.
See my first ever beach/ocean! (Stinkin' Missouri, where ARE your beaches?!)
Tour Jelly Belly jelly bean factory.
Go to a concert.
I have a few others, but like you I don't want to be here all day. Luckily a few of them are weight-loss rewards!

Buccinator, it sounds like you need to get your butt out here to Seattle! Get your aquarium crossed off and see the ocean! Not to mention all the other fun things Seattle/Washington has to offer! You could even get your concert crossed off while you're here! 0
