November Goals Update

2023 November goals update

Here is my November monthly update.

  1. Walk 1000 miles. Progress: I made reasonable progress. I’ve walked 782 miles for the year. That leaves 218 for the next month. I was hopeful last month that I still could achieve this goal. But there is no way I will walk 218 miles for the month of December. But that doesn’t mean I will give up. I want to achieve as many miles as I can. So last month I started walking further. Yesterday I walked to our post office, for the second time. So, I’m preparing myself for next year, when I try again. I’m determined to achieve this goal in my lifetime, as long as my health allows it.
  2. Read the Bible in a year. Progress: I’m up to date. My church started this January 1. I have to admit; it has been very interesting. Even though I’ve read the whole Bible several times in my life, I always seem to discover something new. This should be easy to accomplish. I think what made it easier, is I had a plan laid out. Each day I had chapters to read. It was 5 days a week, so I had two days to catch up or go ahead as needed to stay current.
  3. Lose five pounds. Progress: Starting over.  In July and August, I was shocked to be gaining weight practically every three days. I thought I had stabilized and hoping to lose weight again soon. At the end of October, I was up 4 pounds from where I started. There is still hope. My health is partly to blame. I had 3 medical appointments in November. Hopefully, they will address that issue and the scale will once again be going down. I’m now on a kidney diet, in response to my concern about my chronic kidney disease. I’m more focused on the foods I eat and how much sodium and potassium I ingest per day, because I need to limit those two items. I’m not currently watching my calories. So, do I have hope I will succeed on this? I feel like I’ve stopped gaining, but I’m not losing. It will be hard. I’m learning to make different choices. I eat more fruits and vegetables and less chocolate. Reducing my chocolate intake has been hard, since I’m a chocoholic.

So, if you have a list, share your progress with me in the comments below. We can do this together, and hopefully, you succeed this year. So, really, how did you do last year? And did that change your list for this year–either longer or shorter?

My 2023 Goals September Update

September goals

It’s a different list this year. It’s shorter. I hope it’s more doable if I only focus on three things. I didn’t do so well last year. How did you do? I hope you are better than me. Here is my September monthly update.

  1. Walk 1000 miles. Progress: I made reasonable progress. I’ve walked 652.2 miles for the year. That leaves only 347.8 for the next 3 months. I think I can meet this goal as long as I keep up my walking routine and average over 120 miles a month, which obviously I am not doing.
  2. Read the Bible in a year. Progress: I’m up to date. My church started this January 1. I have to admit; it has been very interesting. Even though I’ve read the whole Bible several times in my life, I always seem to discover something new.
  3. Lose five pounds. Progress: Starting over.  In July and August, I was shocked to be gaining weight practically every three days. I thought I had stabilized and hoping to lose weight again soon. At the end of September, I was up 5 pounds from what I weighed at the beginning of the year. One pound over August. Wrong way! I’m trying once again to lose weight.

So if you have a list, share it with me in the comments below. We can do this together, and hopefully, we all succeed this year. So, really, how did you do last year? And did that change your list for this year–either longer or shorter? Three months to go in the year. Yikes.

2023 May Goals Update

My 2023 Goals List

It’s a different list this year. It’s shorter. I hope it’s more doable if I only focus on three things. I didn’t do so well last year. How did you do? I hope you are better than me. Here is my April monthly update.

  1. Walk 1000 miles. Progress: I made reasonable progress. I’ve walked 352.4 miles for the year. That’s 106.10 for May. That’s a good increase. I think I can meet this goal as long as I keep up my walking routine.
  2. Read the Bible in a year. Progress: I’m up to date. My church started this January 1.
  3. Lose five pounds. Progress: I’m up and down. I am only three pounds down, which is the same as last month. I know I need to work harder on that. If I continue going up and down, I need to be closer to ten pounds to remain 5 pounds down for the year. We have a class reunion coming up next year, so there is more incentive this time around.

So if you have a list, share it with me in the comments below. We can do this together, and hopefully, we all succeed this year. So, really, how did you do last year? And did that change your list for this year–either longer or shorter?
