My Fitness Bucket List

June 15, 2012 | Disney, fitness, health, motivation, running, Uncategorized

 

You hear a lot of people talking about bucket lists. They may include things like skydiving, visit a certain country, learn a foreign language, or take a painting class. My bucket list seems to revolve around a lot of fitness related activities, so why not have one JUST for health and fitness? So I thought I would share with you a few of the items on my fitness bucket list. You can check out my full list on my #Fitfluential Fitness bucket list Pinterest board. In no particular order….

 

1.) Run the Tower of Terror ten miler or the tinkerbell half marathon in Disneyland. These are the only two runDisney races I have not run (aside from the expedition Everest challenge) and I have heard great things about tink…and the ToT 10 miler just looks SO fun!

 

2.) Run the Hood to Coast Relay. Ever since last year when I reviewed the movie, I have wanted to do this race. Them, after competing in the Rouge Orleans Ultra relay, I REALLY wanted to run!

 

3.) Paddle board or surf in a beautiful location. I kind of fear learning to do something like this, but would love to get over it and do it! Being in a beautiful location would make it a bit more enticing.

 

4.) Train with Bob Harper. I have loved the Biggest Loser since day one, and really like his approach to health and fitness! Meeting him or training with him would be awesome.

 

5.) Go to a yoga/spa retreat center. A nice long weekend of relaxation and fitness in a beautiful setting like you see on the movies sounds absolutely wonderful and rejuvenating!

I am adding to my bucket list all the time so be sure to check my Pinterest board often!

    I love your bucket list! I would also love to run a Disney race and go to a weekend yoga retreat. Both would make for super fun and healthy vacations :). And I totally agree with you on Bob’s training, I always admired how he trained on TBL :).

    I’ve got one for this Fall..it’s an adventure race called “Be A Hero” and it’s like this firefighter race! You break glass and climb a fire pole. sounds cool.

    I always thought I’d do a Disney race when my kids got into Disney. Alas they’re not Disney’s biggest fans. I really wanna do Tinkerbell though still!
    Finishing up the 5 marathon majors is topping my list.

    I’m fulfilling a bucket list item on Saturday… interviewing Jackie Warner!! I’m big on just doing things as soon as I think of them, so bucket list items don’t last long for me. Great list!! Take me on a retreat with you…

    The Disney Tower of Terror sounds cool! I’d like to run at least 2 halfs a year for as long as I can. I’d also add in a run abroad!

    I am loving all these bucket lists!! Paddle boarding or surfing is a great one- I’ve never done either, let alone in a beautiful location. Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂

    A yoga retreat sounds wonderful! On my fitness bucket list is to do a half ironman and do the NYC half and a half in either Paris or London.

    I definitely want to do the Tower of Terror 10 miler! Qualifying for and running Boston tops my list but I doubt that will happen until I’m like 70 😉

    I want to do a yoga retreat in Italy, or anywhere for that matter along with finally finishing my yoga certification and few different half marathons too

    I’m loving all the fitness bucket lists.

    I have a variety on mine. I would like to own two outdoor bikes so hubby and I can go riding (we have 2 spin bikes at home but I want to get out), I want to do more than 20 vertical knee raises in a row, and a nice big trampoline in the back yard would be very cool.

    Love this idea! On mine is learning to surf…preferably in Hawaii and running a marathon…maybe Mickey for the 20th anniversary.

5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 Today she left eleme 5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 

Today she left elementary school to change classes all by herself, do homework on a Chromebook, and basically be a grown up at school. 😭

How did we get here? She was just lifting her arms up saying “mommy, hold you!” And it felt like yesterday. It’s bittersweet watching her grow, but I know she is going to do amazing things. She’s got a special fire inside of her that can’t be taught, and I know it will take her far in life.

Chase your dreams baby girl. We will always be right here cheering you on. 🩷 @theprincessek

Summer photo dump ☀️ Emma Kate starts school Summer photo dump ☀️ 

Emma Kate starts school tomorrow, so I guess summer is officially over. 😭 It’s bittersweet. I’m excited to be back into a routine and fall is my favorite, but I will miss lazy mornings and traveling on a whim and not having to help with homework. 😵‍💫

Here is a carousel of some of my favorite moments. From basketball tournaments to travels down to south Florida and back, Atlanta, Asheville, Tuscaloosa, Pigeon Forge, and all the way to Disneyland, and my 40th birthday plus 4th of July, tiny house camping and Opryland for Bobby’s birthday, we packed a lot into the past 2.5 months. 

I never want to forget these special moments with my little family. Memories to last a lifetime that I thank God for. 🩷

Have your kids started school yet?

BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 I drove the same Toyota 4Ru BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 

I drove the same Toyota 4Runner for 14 1/2 years. Last October, we got a good deal on a Highlander platinum with 10,000 miles on it from @foxtoyota. 

The only problem is, I wanted the Grand Highlander platinum, because it has way more cargo room, legroom, and some other features that the regular Highlander doesn’t have. I thought that’s what we were getting, but it wasn’t available and we ended up with the regular Highlander, which don’t get me wrong, I was very grateful for after driving the same car for so long.

However, as the months went on, the differences were very noticeable, especially with how much we travel and the lack of space. Without me knowing, Bobby had been doing research and working with the wonderful folks at Fox, and was able to find us a brand new Grand Highlander platinum. 

He had hoped it would arrive for my birthday, but it was a couple weeks late, which was totally worth it. He’s usually really bad at surprising me (my 40th birthday party a couple weeks ago was supposed to be a surprise, but I found out.) so I was truly in shock and speechless when I came home and this new car, which we named Ruby, was in the garage!

@bobbymontg may not be the most romantic guy, but he shows his love in ways that he knows I appreciate. Best birthday gift ever! 🩷

While grabbing a few things at Walgreens, I picked up a Kohl’s gift card and turned it into the cutest teacher gift — a mason jar wrapped in ribbon, full of pencils with a tag that says “This year is going to be on point.” 🎯 

It’s simple, thoughtful, and super practical — because who doesn’t love a gift they can actually use? 

Walgreens makes it so easy to grab @incommpayments gift cards for everyone on your back-to-school list — from teachers to even yourself (because let’s be real, moms need a win too 😉).
