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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
