I'm excited for.. (Spring/Summer Edition!)
 

Hey ladies (and guys)!

Spring is here and summer is only a couple months away. What kinds of things (activities/events/festivals) are you excited for?

As for me, I'm really excited for farmer's markets! We have one within biking distance from my boyfriend's house that opens in June. I checked out their vendor information, and they have someone who sells homemade dog treats. I'm so excited!

Another thing I'm excited for: biking and hiking. I'm ready to bike without my ears feeling as though they will freeze off :(. I'm going to try mountain biking this Spring/Summer, so if you have any tips, let me know :).

I'm moving back to America after living in Japan for 3 years. I'm going to see Journey play a concert, move from my hometown of Albany NY to Austin TX if all goes well, and just plain get reacquainted with my country.

I am excited for the Minnesota State Fair. I may actually have to save money to fly home and go because it's been six years and I miss it. That and just about any/everything that happens on the coast in California. I want to learn to surf this summer.

Krampus- I didnt know you were from Albany, Im from Oneonta :) I live in Boston now though.

Im excited to go to the beach all summer long with my girls (2 and 4). Im not excited about the bathing suit, but Ill look better in it this summer than I did last :) I felt like a giant whale chasing them around last year, but Im not one to be stopped from having fun because of my weight.
Along those lines, Im looking forward to picnics, yardsales, and my DF being done with law school and taking the bar in July. This is going to be an all around awesome year for us :)

Yardsales! And not freezing my rear off while running outside!

Flip FLOPS! Shorts! Ahhh Maybe even a bikini?!?!?! but probably not. haha I am getting married July 9th! And I can't wait to go to CONCERTS! AH I love summer<3

THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR!!!!! YAYYY!! I just moved near the U of M's St. Paul Campus last year (which is like a mile or so away from the fair grounds) and my boyfriend kept wanting to walk there last year and I absolutely refused (hello?... hot weather + sweat + fat chick with tired feet does not equal a good time!) I'm excited to actually walk there this year! I'm also excited to experience other things there (i.e. not just go there for the food).

I'm excited about the sun, nothing beats the California sunshine.

kayaking and a possible trip to California, though that may be until the fall (not sure yet). Not freezing -that's what I like about summer!

The beach!! Last year when we went, I was a little over 170 and felt very self-conscious (it didn't help that my swimsuit was too big lol). When I saw the pics, I realized I looked okay. But this year I'm looking even better!!

I'm excited for all the TRIPS coming up :) and my chance to rock cuter clothes.

I can't wait to head to the beach/pool on a weekly basis..the weather here has been sooo cold!

1) I'm GRADUATING in a matter of weeks. Oh my goodness. I SURVIVED COLLEGE.

2) ONE MONTH OFF before starting work: I've contemplated traveling in that time and I think I'd like to do some adventure hiking or something else equally active and wonderful.

3) Earning a newly athletic body... and showing it off in new yoga clothes and running shorts! ;)

I'm excited....

-Classes will be over in a month!!!
-getting involved with walking/joggin/running charity events
-volunteering more
-start hiking
-try some new sports and play sports regularly
-learn to swim

I'm so excited! I'm getting married in September so I have lots of parties and planning leading up to the wedding. I have a shower in June and July and then a bachelorette weekend with my girls to New Orleans in August- can't wait!! :)

Wow, lots of weddings! Congratulations guys!

@lackadaisy I forgot that I'm graduating too.. WE SURVIVED COLLEGE! I'm so excited.

Another thing I'm excited for: the Ohio Renaissance Festival. I told my boyfriend we're going full-costume this year :)

Camping, hiking, fishing! Walking the dogs farther than up and down the driveway 6 times!

I'm excited for my first 5K in May, then my 2nd in May! And I actually am trying to search out other benefit walks to walk in. I am doing two more in October, but I want something in between May and October!

My husband got me new sneakers as a reward for losing my first 10% so I am wicked excited to break those in. So far I've only been able to wear them while walking in the mall (like exercise walking, not shopping walking).

Last year I would have said I was excited for ice cream, long drives, fried food at festivals and flip flops. What a change!!
I still am excited about ice cream, but I "found" a local shop that has Only 8. It's a soft serve frozen yogurt that is only 1 pt+ for a 1/2 cup. And it's yummy! And instead of long drives, I'm looking forward to finding new trails and long walks. Fried foods, not even going to miss them! I *might* share a small fried dough with hubby, but even as I think about it, I'm kind of turned off...sounds gross! I can't wait to get my pooches out and about!

My sister and her husband are moving back to the state after she has her baby (my first real niece!) and I couldn't be more excited! I'm also excited to go camping and rock climbing this summer. Need to lose a bit to do the latter, but hopefully I can start incorporating it into my work outs for strength training.

I completely forgot--I am WICKED excited to go to this place called Monkey Trunks. It's an discovery/adventure course type deal. They have zip lining (I've always wanted to do), high and low ropes course and a drop zone. I am super excited to reach a fitness level that will allow me to do this. I am hoping by early fall I can. If not, I will try for spring 2012!

I am excited for summer!!! It's my favorite season. I'm excited for shorts, flip flops, bikinis (well, maybe) and the beach!! I looove going to the beach :) I'm also excited for a few cheat days at the fairs! lol.

I'm excited for the pool to open. Always have a ton of fun there with the kids. Excited about the other activities like our big county fair.

Summer is going to be THE BEST! I've literally been planning how great it's going to be since mid-November. And by planning I mean making a detailed list (it's on the fridge). Besides the most obvious source of excitement (the SUN) there is so much to look forward to!
1. My first nephew being born at the end of May!
2. Running my first half marathon in the beginning of May
3. Reaching my goal weight
4. Swimming in the lake
5. Hiking and running outside
6. Road trip!
7. No work- one of the many reasons being a teacher is awesome :).

drive in!! :D Totes excited! I love having a drive in! Plus my hubby just bought me a popcorn maker so I can make healthy popcorn to take with us, ah nom nom. :) Popcorn = greatest weakness

I'm SUPER excited for Valleyfair! My best friend, my sister, and I all have season passes. I'm hoping to tone up enough to feel comfortable in shorts and a tank top. I love amusement parks!

Also excited for CAMPING!! We are going hiking near Lake Superior. Trying to get in good enough shape so I won't be huffing and puffing :)

Lastly...The Minnesota State Fair. Going to enjoy ONE treat and look hot and sexy walking around. Hope to be around 125-130...wishful thinking?
