1). Attending a wedding with a lot of old college friends and being hot.
The look on faces of people who haven't seen me in a while (I am not posting anything regarding my fitness on FB!)

2). Wearing light summer dresses this summer without pantyhose, and not having thighs raw after a whole day out.

3). The thing I want to wear more than a bikini, is a skimpy running outfit of tight shorts and a sports bra, and look good in it. With abs and legs and all that. The thing I used to look at and think I could never wear.

What is yours?

    The three things I wanted to be able to do by this summer:
    1) Be able to ride a zip line
    2) Be able to ride a horse without feeling like I'd break him
    3) Be able to sit in generic camp chairs rather than a special built for heavy people camp chair.
    I'm not sure about 2, but I think that I've reached 1 and 3.

    Longer term:
    1) Be able to shop at any clothing store, not just for the overweight
    2) Be able to get off or at least reduce my blood pressure medicine
    3) Be happy to be in pictures again

    Ultimate wonderful:
    1) Not have to use the CPAP machine and be able to camp and sleep in a tent anywhere.
    2) Be able to hike and keep up with my friends and family

    Mostly, I just want to be able to chase my kids around. Oh, and go hiking and canoeing and just running around in general.

    Seriously...I'd have to say being able to wear a White Tank Top, tucked into my snug fit jeans, with a belt and buckle with my cowboy boots!! :-) My husband and I both think that look is HOT and I WILL pull it off this fall at the Step-Daughter's Horse Show...and show off myself! LOL!!!

    Get on a horse. Especially if I can do it without a mounting block. ( Not a weight issue, I just have no spring in my legs.)

    The feeling of feeling light and lithe and strong and healthy.

    This will allow me to like how I look, because I will feel good from the inside out. :)

    Sexiness in clothes is a happy bi-product!

    being fit enough to try a few new positions in rugby rather than the default fat girl spot of prop and lifter... namely 8-man and jumper.

    have a relatively competitive 5k time... rather than shuffling in at 40 minutes.

    ....skimpy running clothes lol

    shopping at normal sized/normal priced clothing stores

    AND NO MORE FRIKKIN CHUB RUB.
