It's been a few years since I chose some specific goals to work on for the year. But, this year, I felt impressed to write down some things I'd like to work on to help make my life better. They don't fit into nice categories like in years past, but are just some random thoughts for improvement.
1. This last year I was on a health journey, losing 50 pounds!! I need to back up a bit. A while ago I tore my meniscus and had a hard time moving it, especially walking for any distance or using stairs. After months of PT, I decided that the only thing that would help me get back to "normal" was strengthen my leg muscles and lose some weight. I started walking several times a week, short distances, and going to the gym. I also started taking a weight loss shot, Zepbound. This all started the middle of March. As I've said, I've lost 50 pounds, I can now walk 3 miles, and my knee is so much better, most days not hurting at all. So, my goal is to continue. I'm not sure how much more I'd like to lose, but I need to figure out how to maintain. I'm also going to the gym 2X/week and walk 3-4X/week.
2. Garden weekly. Get out in the sun and pull some weeds...or prune a bush...or plant something. 30 minutes of sunshine will feel good.
3. Choose a room a month and give it a deep cleaning. The kitchen is first on my list...and it may take two months if I do one chore per week.
4. Attend the temple at lease 3 times/month...one of those helping out in the laundry.
5. Plan 1 fun adventure every month...it doesn't have to be big or expensive...just something to look forward to.
6. Become a better friend. I'm not sure what that will look like, but it's something I want to work on.
