So..   I know we all set little mini-goals for ourselves...   crossing our legs, shopping at normal stores...   running  ect.

On our honeymoon, I got to accomplish the last goal I had set for myself!  Norm and I got to parasail!  Now I'm sitting here thinking...     what's next???     Of course there's starting our family, but I'm talking like...  thrilling, or things that make you realize you're not the same person you were before!!!

I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to skydive!   But I'm not sure if that's going to be my next mini-goal for myself... 

But tell me what YOU want to do!!!   What are you looking forward to in the next few weeks...   months...   years....  

Tell me about it, let's share!!!

Love your new avie!! SO glad to hear that you accomplished your next mini goal too!

My is to become and stay pregnant. FOr me it is huge, as I was told pre-op I would never be able to have kids. The miscarriage scared the crap out of me - so now my goal is to get and STAY pregnant!

Can't wait to read everyone's responses!

Liz,
    That's something I'm so afraid of!   My mom had lots of problems having kkids, and when I was so heavy, I was also told I wouldn't be able to have children.   Anything's possible though, and I'll keep you in my prayers!

Mary, this is a great thread. Honestly, I never made any goals along those lines. Only the crossing the legs, shopping in regular sizes, riding roller coasters, etc.

Lately though, I have been thinking about things I want to do.

1. Zip Line, can't make the outing, so I am going to do it on my own, hopefully in Sept.
2. Hot Air Balloon ride
3. Wear & Look beautiful in a wedding Dress (that one is a little further off, but important to me)

Those are it for now. Although I find myself looking for ideas for things I may like to try. Maybe I will get some ideas from this thread. Parasailing sounds awesome if I ever get to a place that has it.

NO SKY DIVING FOR ME! LOL

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!

It's important to think about what restrictions we no longer have!!!!   your goals sound wonderful Jo! 

And I think you should come skydiving =)

Hey Mary - how did you like parasailing?  I did it a couple of years ago and puked all over myself... the backwards motion and the rocking back and forth on the boat got the best of me.  It was really gross!

Anyway, the next goal I am looking forward to is running the Disney Half Marathon.  The race is already closed for 2010 so it will be in 2011 but until then I will continue to run and get ready for it.  2011 will be my 5th bandiversary and I think that is an excellent way to celebrate!

I enjoyed looking at your wedding pictures - you look so beautiful, healthy and happy!  Congrats!!

You can't measure your achievements with someone else's yardstick!

Parasailing was so much fun!   Other than where we got abducted by pirates...   not kidding...   Norm tells the story better!

WOW Parasailing!! That is awesome, as is your new avi!! marriage suits you well!

goals.. hmmm I'm thinking as I'm sitting indian style in a chair with arms and not feeling the slightest bit uncomfortable  (there's one!!)

I have fit into a hard seated swing with room to spare
cross legs all the time
shop in regular sections
clothes are all too big
size 12 bathing suit
been called the skinny b*&tch

Ok, done all those and I'm only 5 months out... WOW! 

I am going to do the zip line outing.  That is a never in a million years thing from before, but since it was brought up as something to do, I'm now going to do it!! WOW!! 

Looking forward to the beach and flaunting my new bod without worrying about the cover up.

I'm not sure what else, but I'm sure ideas will start to flow as I shrink and read other's posts.
