Sluggish...Part 2 A Guessing Game

Okay so after I posted earlier this morning I began to think about what was going to motivate me.  I looked online for what other people have used for motivation and found this website...Ben Does Life.  His transformation is amazing, and what I'm looking to do.  Now yes he is a man, and men and women lose weight differently, and yadda yadda blah blah.  I know.  His story made me begin to think about my bucket list though.  (Yes I have a list of things I want to do before I die.)  Although I've crossed things off through the years in the past two years I've only crossed one thing off.  I want to cross off more.  So Ben's story encouraged me to work on 3 of the things on my list.  Can you guess which 3? (Red items I've accomplished already.  Oh and if you can help me accomplish another I'd gladly accept help!)  I add things to the list all the time, so maybe I'll post this list and try to cross off a bunch as I am on this journey.  I'll let you know which 3 Ben inspired me on soon!  =)

    Just so you know, I'm obsessed with Ben Does Life. His brother Jed has
    One, but its not as fun... Have you watched his video yet?

    His video AMAZES me!!! He looks like a different person, and I can't believe he basically lost that much weight in a year! I've looked at his brothers blog, and his fathers, and they're all right but his really is more fun. I ordered a "Do Life" shirt and can't wait for it to arrive! =)
