My Bucket List

I've done the 101 in 1001, 30 before 30, and now it's time to focus on my lifetime bucket list. I think it's easier for me to look at a list without a due date attached. Eases the pressure and potential feelings of failure. Although at some point I need to get used to setting deadlines for myself and actually following through with them...
  1. visit another continent
  2. go zorbing
  3. climb to the top of a mountain
  4. visit Machu Picchu
  5. spend the night in an underwater hotel
  6. spend a night in an ice hotel
  7. see Aurora Borealis
  8. see a show on Broadway
  9. write and self publish a cookbook
  10. run a 5k
  11. go sailing
  12. go deep sea fishing
  13. learn another language fluently
  14. go scuba diving
  15. ride in a hot air balloon
  16. go skydiving
  17. become a beekeeper
  18. read all of Dean Koontz's books
  19. become as healthy as possible
  20. become a big sister
  21. own a farm in the country
  22. Adopt a child
  23. swim with dolphins
  24. go on a yoga retreat in another country
  25. go to a TEDTalk conference
  26. go geo-caching
  27. Drive the entire Natches Trace in a convertible
  28. Eat at a Mario Battali restaurant
  29. Eat at a Cat Cora restaurant
  30. Eat at a Masaharu Morimoto restaurant
  31. Donate money to a KivaLoan
  32. Visit Yellowstone at least twice
  33. Make 100 cards for strangers (4 down, 96 to go)
  34. Watch baby turtles enter the sea for the first time
  35. Visit Salem, MA on Halloween
  36. Get my navel pierced.... again.
I'm sure that this is going to be an ongoing list... I'll find things I want to add or subtract from time to time, and I'll want to update it when I accomplished an item. We'll see how it goes :)

Exercise can be fun!

The weekend is always the best time for me to get my exercise, simply because I don't have to work. Although I love my Wii workout, that's really more for the middle of the week. I've started planning my weekends to include lots of physical activities, without the dread of actual exercise. Weight Watchers stresses that you don't use the term 'exercise', but rather 'activity'. I would agree. 'Exercise' can strike fear into the hearts of even the healthy, whereas 'activity' implies something fun. So here's what I have planned for the next few weekends as 'activity': Friday, Mar 25: Weeding My Garden Oh my goodness, the weeds have just taken over! I have 3 birdfeeders very close to the garden, so seeds get thrown in it all the time. The seeds have started growing plants, so I will be digging around tonight, pulling all of them out. Saturday, Mar 26: Fort Worth Zoo specifically for the new Museum of Living Art. Last time we ...

Vegetarian life update

I've made it through the first 3 days as a vegetarian, and I haven't missed meat at all. I know that the first few weeks are the hardest, and I'm pleased so far. I've been using quinoa and hemp seeds for proteins, and will be using nuts and beans as well. There are thousands of recipes online, and I've already tried some. I'm having to teach Hubs that it's okay for him to eat meat, and that I have no problem cooking it for him. I just don't add meat to my meal. It's surprisingly easy. We went to the grocery store on Saturday, and I walked out with no animal proteins or dairy in my bags. It was easy to ignore the meat. My PCOS group is doing an event called "Creating Goals with Soul", using Danielle LaPorte's Workbook O' Fire. Some of the girls are so excited to participate - and we could all use a little help sticking to our goals. My current health goals: - Continue my vegetarian lifestyle change - Eliminate my coffee consumpt...
