My challenge to myself is; Mastering my Wii fit board without falling on my keester ! Bold part was; going up to video game store counter and buying complete Wii system and several games AND the Wii fit board during a buy 1 get 1 free event they had going on! …Then asking how to use it all~I think I amused the ENTIRE store on that one:) ….It took me over 1 1/2 hours to complete all of this and walked out feeling like I climbed Mount Mansfield! I really did…..

Thanks for the great quote, Lynne. We should all keep that up on our refrigerators! And Paige, it sure can be a challenge to slow down long enough to enjoy a sunrise- that’s something I should all be doing more often. And skydiving????? That’s fantastic! Write to us and let us know how it goes.

No, I didn’t run with the bulls, build an igloo, or swim with sharks, but I did watch the sunrise. One word…BEAUTIFUL. Now, there was one more little item on my “life list” besides the bulls, igloos, and sharks and that was skydiving. I didn’t do it yet, but I’m signed up to do a tandem skydive with an instructor in 2 weeks! I’m a bit scared but I think it’s going to be fun.

Tahtimbo, I thought about you doing crunches while I was out for my ride. I’m happy to hear you are sticking to it! And Chris, sorry your Mt. Evans trip didn’t turn out the way you’d planned, but I’m glad to hear you are keeping it as a goal.
Liz makes some interesting points in her blogpost (click on her name to get to it): big goals are different from small goals, and sometimes you have to go for big!

I started doing my 100 crunches a day last week after I read your article and I’m still going. Almost 1 full week of crunches. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation.

Good for you little red hen! It is a wonderful feeling when you try something you are scared to do, you succeed and love it. Not only that, but there are people out there that you influenced, in a positive way, to do the same. I did try something new today and so far so good.

Hey Little Red, congrats on your bike ride. So glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Unfortunately, I didn’t carry through on my challenge…but for a good reason. I said I’d ride my bike to the top of Mt. Evans. Well, CDOT closed the top 5 miles of the Mt. Evans road for the season already! Then I vowed to ride to the top of another mountain, but to no avail! The weather has been rainy/snowy at the tops of most of the peaks I was considering for past THREE days! I promise though that I WILL ride the Mt. Evans as soon as it opens again in the spring!

Well- I did something that was sort of bold- I ran a half marathon this Sunday. But it turns out it wasn’t quite bold enough. Details in the blog post!
