Day 3 of the Bucket List and I have all sorts of ideas floating around in my head.

The one I chose is one that may sound vain or may sound like more of a goal but it is definitely on my bucket list and one that I am currently working on.  During our move, I let my goal get a little buried but I think by putting it out there it will motivate me again.

Before I started training for the Ironman in 2007 my body fat was 22%, according to the Bod Pod.  I’m sure that I gained body fat while training for the Ironman to help me sustain the 140 miles I did in 13 hours.  After the Ironman we pretty quickly started trying to get pregnant and my body fat just went up from there. The after Lucy body fat is basically chronicled in this blog .  According to the scale at the gym (the kind where you stand on the metal sensors and hold onto sensors-which I know is not very accurate) my body fat is sitting at 27% right now.  My goal is to get down to 20%. Twenty percent is where you see muscle definition without flexing. That’s where I’d like to be and that’s where I’d like to maintain.

So even though it’s sort of vain, that’s #3.

Bucket List:

1. Write a book
2. Own an actual house with a yard (NOT a condo!)
3. Get to 20% body fat

Today started with a great 10 mile mountain bike ride with Shaun.  He said that today was, by far, my best mountain biking day. Exciting stuff!

Here’s some pictures near the top of where we rode to:

This afternoon Megan, Luke, Porter, and Tessa (we’re baby sitting) came over for dinner.  We hung out in the backyard in the shade.  It was a hot one today but in the shade it was just right.  All the kids played so well together-it couldn’t have been a more perfect night. Lu and Tessa got in our gargantuan bath tub which Tessa insisted on calling a “pool”.  She did her kicker and strokers and even decided to pee-HA!

One more week of school!

I took an iPhone video tour of our house.  I don’t feel comfortable just putting it out there for the whole interweb to see, but if you’d like to see them (there are 3 for the 3 levels), email me and I’ll send you the links.
