First of all, sickness update: I think I’ve turned a corner! It’s been almost 2 full weeks now, but I’m finally starting to feel better. Whew. I just created a VERY LONG list of things to do this weekend. A lot of my normal post-vacation re-entry activities were ignored due to sickness. Definitely need groceries!!!… Continue reading The post I’d been avoiding… Health Goals 2026
It's the time of year when the "yearly recap lists" will start coming out. I'll be out of town for a good chunk of this final stretch of the year, so I thought I'd preemptively summarize some of my 2025 wins, even though I know there are still a couple weeks left of 2025! I'll… Continue reading 2025 Big Wins
I'm really thrilled with my new year's workouts so far! So far I have hit 100% of my planned strength workouts (have completed 13 so far this month) and I'm especially proud of my CARDIO efforts! I've completed 9, but best of all, it feels like it's finally becoming more of a routine habit. As… Continue reading Happy with progress + showing up
Okay, phew! This has felt like a long series, with some looooooong posts! Finally the last section: OTHER. And, this should be relatively quick, because I only have 3 here so far. These are goals slots #21-25 on my 25 for 2025 list, but I've left 2 blank for now to fill in any fun,… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Other
Okay, chugging along here.... To recap, so far we've covered Personal (#1-5), Health/Fitness (#6-10), Kids/Family (#11-15) and now: Household goals (#16-20)! 1. Implement a standard grocery shopping time. Let me explain. I've touched on this in previous posts, but meal planning and groceries are not really my forte. Historically, we're pretty loosey goosey in this… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Household
TGIF, ya'll.... this was my first full week of work in a bit due to the holidays/vacation days, and let's just say, it came to PLAY. 😳 But I want to keep going in my goals series! The 3rd domain is next: Kids/Family. 1. Spend a minimum of 1x/ week quality time with each of… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Kids/Family
Next up- my Health/Fitness goals! These are probably a little more boring, but important to me and I still like them. 1. Do 200 strength, 150 cardio and 50 yoga workouts this year. I originally had shared about this idea a few weeks ago, to zoom out and try to hit a yearly total instead… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Health/Fitness
Okay, I'm back with my Personal goals. I aimed to come up with 5 for each domain to hopefully total 25. (As a reminder, my domains are Personal, Health/Fitness, Kids/Family, Household, and Other). 1. Read 25 for 25 This came to me when I saw "Read 25 minutes in 2025" is Gretchen Rubin's public challenge… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Personal
New Year's Eve: We're officially into the new year now. The kids are still off today, but return to school Monday. Then the holiday season will officially be over. Our New Year's Eve was nice. Nothing extravagant, but nice. We both worked (though Ivan got done by 3). I worked a bit later, but then… Continue reading NYE + 2025 Goals Series Overview
I'm officially on my little "Christmas break!" YAY! It's nothing too much, really. Well, 5 days, I guess. I'm off today through the 25th. I just work Thursday and Friday next week. The following week I have off Monday the 30th and January 1st, so I only work 3 days that week (and NYE will… Continue reading Snowy Saturday before Christmas + goals contemplation
