The blog was a bit quiet last week with Dr. Dan on vacation in Mexico and I was on vacation as well! Adam and I took a little vacation to Vegas (thanks to the Brown Clinic as I won the trip at our Christmas party!) and we decided to tag a few extra days on and drove through the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon, on our way down to Phoenix to visit family there for another few days. Our stops reminded us of the hilarious Chevy Chase movies and we had many laughs along the way. The Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon were on my “bucket list” which made the trip even more exciting. Below is a picture of me at the Hoover Dam. What an amazing structure!
You have heard Dr. Dan and I discuss goals many times, and another aspect of goal setting is the “bucket list.” The bucket list is a term for a list of things you want to accomplish, do, see, etc in your lifetime. Some of the items on my bucket list are to visit all 50 states and to run a road race. I have been working on the 50 states since I was a child and only have about 10-15 left to go… and I will be tackling the road race this May as I have decided to run a half marathon with my brother, who is running the full. Personally, my bucket list helps keep me motivated with my health goals. I certainly can’t fill my bucket list if I’m not healthy! As you examine your goals, think about your bucket list and things you’d like to accomplish, see, do, etc and ways you can achieve them. Life is a beautiful thing, so live it to the fullest!
Our road trip from Vegas to Phoenix took a full day with our stops, which meant we had to have snacks and stop for food a few times. In my next post, I will discuss health snacks for on the road and traveling. Stay tuned!
