What are you looking forward to???
Mary, what a great idea for a thread!
I've accomplished so many surprising things lately, including shopping in REGULAR sizes and not feeling horribly self-conscious in a bathing suit. At Disney, we got on rollercoasters and rides and i FIT in the seats and didn't feel like the restraints were "too tight."
The one that still startles me is running, which I've been doing on a regular basis for a little while now - and is related to some of my current mini-goals:
* Run a 5K in less than 45 mins (and, ideally, not be the last person across the finish line)
* Go horseback riding (I was thinking about this this morning and how i can do it now without feeling like I'll be accused of animal cruelty!)
* Go on a zipline tour (can't make the outing, unfortunately, but would love to do it!)
* Go back to some form of martial arts
* Learn to swim (i can keep myself afloat and make it from one side of the pool to the other, but I'd love to learn the RIGHT way to do it)
These are all fairly near-term things... but i'm having fun thinking of new things as they come up!

Mary,
Congrats on hitting the last goal of round one! Now time to make a new list
For me I have on my list is to spend the day at Hershey and really ride the rides. It was at Hershey were I didn't fit in the rollar coaster and had to get off the ride with my head hung low. That is on our schedule the weekend of August 8th and then I am also going to do the zip line adventure with the group.
I then will have to redo my list....

Beth,
The great bear roller coaster I think it's called at hershey... that's also where they told me that I wouldn't fit! I was sooooo extremely embarrassed. I have to tell you though, Norm, his sister and I went the monday after the wedding, and we rode EVERY roller coaster there. I was so thrilled... but I like you was a little nervous walking into the line for the great bear roller coaster. I was actually sick to my stomach until they actually strapped me in!
You will be JUST fine baby!!! Keep your head held high, and ride them coasters!

Ya know, I was thinking about the same thing the other day.
I definately want to take horseback riding lessons again - something I used to do when I was younger.
There will be no jumping out of airplanes for this girl....no way no how! But have yourself an amazing time when you get to!
As far as other things....I'm just not quite sure yet but definately have to start making a list!
