My July 2023 Goals Update

July 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 June monthly update.

  1. Walk 1000 miles. Progress: I made reasonable progress. I’ve walked 515.7 miles for the year. Only 71.8 miles in July, which is less than I walked in June. I think I can meet this goal as long as I keep up my walking routine and average 96.86 miles a month, which obviously I am not doing. Since I have not been feeling the best in July, I walked less. I had a doctor tell me I was walking too much. I was trying to walk for 45 minutes to an hour daily. But I’ve cut that back a bit, even though I really like walking, especially now that I listen to books as I walk.
  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: Not so good. Well, July was worse than June. I have been eating so much. I am less active and since the beginning of this year; I am up one pound. That’s after losing a pound since I was higher. We have a class reunion coming up next year, so there is more incentive this time around. But I seem to not be taking it as an incentive. Plus, I saw pictures of our recent vacation and I don’t look so good in the photos I’m in.

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? Five months to go in the year. Yikes.

2020 goals Update February
  1. PROGRESS: I have visited AAA, of which I am a member, to pick up maps to assist me in making my plans. At this time the states I hope to be visiting are Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. I still have more work to go. Visit 3 states I haven’t been to before. I desire to visit every state in the United States in my lifetime.
  2. PROGRESS: I have completed 10 books toward the 30 I plan to read this year.
  3. COMPLETED: I am continuing physical therapy. However, my physical therapist had given me permission to attempt driving. So on February 19 my husband road along as I drove. We went on the freeway very briefly, mainly driving in town. Since then I have driven several times by myself This was probably my most important goal since it has given me freedom that has really brightened up my days. Drive by myself.
  4. To have the hearing in my left ear improved to 30% or all options pursued. Another result of my brain tumor surgery.
  5. Have our front and back yard landscaping completed so we can enjoy them.
  6. PROGRESS: My husband has made a little progress on this. Clean up/organize our garage so I can park in the garage.
  7. I hate to admit that I’m not making progress on this one. Lose 10 lbs.
  8. COMPLETED: Pay off all debt. This was on my list for last year and I came close, but not quite.
  9. Begin and finish three baby quilts.
  10. Ancestry: Tie at least 10 more people that are my second or third cousins to my family tree.
