Fitness Bucket List


I saw this idea somewhere, can't remember...probably Pinterest, anyway I thought it was great. A bucket list of fitness goals! (Both large and small) I think one of the best ways to stay in shape is to keep setting goals and working towards them.

So here is my bucket list...I'm sure I will add to it as time goes on:

- Do an unsupported handstand
- Learn how to do a cartwheel (it's pretty embarrassing that 3-year-olds can do them but I can't)
- Run a full marathon
- Run a half marathon (signed up for the American Fork Canyon Half in June!)
- Climb a mountain
- Take swim lessons
- Swim with dolphins (Check! Did this in the Bahamas!)
- Do a figure competition
- Scuba dive
- Kayak in Hawaii
- Do yoga on the beach
- Jump horses (I've actually done this, but I'd like to do it on a regular basis)
- Try all the fitness classes at the gym
- Use a bicycle regularly in the summer
- Run a Ragnar
- Compete in a triathlon
- Maintain my size 0-2 the rest of my life

Well that's a start...with so much to work towards there's no excuse not to work out!

Spring Is Coming!


I checked the weather forecast and was so excited to see that it's going to be in the high 50's and sunny all this week! (Except for snow on Tuesday...lame) I'm so unbelievably excited for sunny, warmish weather. These are the things I'm most excited about:

- Tennis. I love to play tennis! Trent got me new grip for my racket for Christmas and I've been waiting to try it out.

- Walks with Pudge. I blame myself for Zoey's winter weight. We used to go on long, long walks and she used to just run laps around the court when Trent and I played tennis a few times a week. Now, I am outside only long enough for her to do her thing then it's right back inside. I'm looking forward to taking her on actual walks.

- Not having to warm my car up. Not that I ever do, because I don't want it to get stolen, but I love the idea of getting into my car and not shivering for the next 5 minutes.

- Gardening. I want to plant a little patio garden this spring, and some herbs.

- Longer days. I am actually very anti daylight savings. We never had it in Indiana and we all got along jusssst fine. But I am looking forward to longer days.

HOpefully I am not getting ahead of myself and this is going to be one of those "springs" that snows until June!
