I'm curious - why the cold shower goal? 

 

Your list is awesome  

[physicsnerd8]

Hi Krisis,

  The cold shower goal actually came from the website that got me onto nerdfitness called impossiblehq. It helped get me started on my impossible list as well. I see the cold shower as a general wake-up call to start my new journey. Kind of a restart if you will. I find it mentally challenging to keep going as all I want some days is a hot shower but I'm starting to enjoy it (it is summer so we will see when winter rolls around ). It is an amazing feeling when I get out. Also there are health benefits including improved circulation and nicer skin so that's an added bonus.

Physicnerd, you list is EPIC, I love it.

 

I have a few thinks on my bucket list, I have started my own thread about that as I don't want to hijack yours.

I love your list. Have you thought about publishing your books list?
