in Motivation and Support
getfitwithtamela inspired me in her blog today when she created a bucket list for weight loss. I thought that was such an awesome idea that it needed to be shared.

I like the idea of having rewards for reaching certain weight loss journey goals, however, mine tend to be something I can buy myself or eat. I like the idea of a bucket list as it seems to encourage intrinsic motivation, personal satisfaction, than reward-based motivation IMO. I struggle with being externally motivated. I would like a better balance.

So, here is my developing weight loss bucket list:

1. Be light enough so my husband can sweep me up in his arms and carry me to the bedroom (and other things along that vein of thought :blushing: ).
2. Run for miles
3. Go mountain climbing/backpacking.
4. Be strong enough to go white water rafting.
5. To do a honest-to-goodness, real, pull-up!
6. ^ same but with a real, strong, push-up
7. Get out of the morbidly obese range
8. Get out of the obese range

What are some of yours?

    1. Run outside comfortably in only a sports bra
    2. A full Marathon
    3. 1.5 x BW Squat
    4. 2 x BW Deadlift
    5. A 6:30 mile (just got sub 7 recently....I expected balloons and some sort of parade, since I worked so long on it...but, nada)

    3 and 4 are going to happen soon, so I will have to adjust.
