A Summer Bucket List to Remember

Who doesn't go through life dreaming of finishing specific goals?  Well, Katrina and I have definitely been able to check one of those beautiful dreams off our list: Our First Book Was Published!  (Buy it on Amazon!)  So we thought it would be fun to write up a "bucket list" for the summer!  Because seriously, who doesn't want to accomplish and try new things during those warm beautiful months?

 

Provocative Manners: Summer 2013 Bucket List

 

1. Live in the moment and take more pictures.

2. Have a balloon fight.  It has been over 15 years since I have tried this!

3. Go Camping.  Yes, this is a huge deal for me.  (what can I say, I'm a city girl!)

4. Go on an Adventure with the kids.  (Even a walk in the woods looking for "bear" sounds fun!)

5. Find more time for silence.  Moments of reflection.

6. Have a girls' weekend!  Yes, this is a necessity.

7. Make a scrapbook on Shutterfly (I've been putting this one off)

8. Stay in shape.  Run and workout 3-4 days a week! (Obsessed with circuits right now! Revolt!)

9. Wish on a Shooting Star (I was 9 years old the last time I did this.)

10. To meet Heather Thomson (Yes, I don't live anywhere close to New York..., but she's such an inspirational business woman!)

 

 

11. To eat chocolate covered strawberries while dancing in the rain.

12. Be thankful for the good times and the bad times (everything is a blessing)

13. To Love my Husband and My Children each day more and more

14. To sip a glass of wine, while soaking in the sun!

15. Finally, To enjoy the summer and not to put pressure on myself to complete this list.  There will always be another summer!

Revolt Fitness: Week 2

This week has been much easier on REVOLT since there were no longer lots of brussel sprouts and spinach.  I am truly enjoying this plan!  I typically try to eat healthy, going for more of the "clean" foods, but as a mother sometimes we end up eating on the go.  This program is forcing me to carefully consider what I am going to put into my body.

I am absolutely loving the circuits and you will probably hear that every week!  Each week is different, and Nicole switches up with exercises so I don't get bored.  Her online videos are amazing and make it more motivating for me since I am following her.  It's like your own personal trainer through the internet in your home!  How can it get better than that?
