Only four more months left to accomplish my yearly goals! I’ll let you know how that’s going, but first, here are the goals I want to accomplish this week:
My Goals for This Week (Week 35)
- Walk for 10 minutes 8 times this week
- Go to the gym 4x this week.
- Write up two book reviews for the many books I’ve completed this year but haven’t written about.
- Study Japanese for 60 minutes this week.
- Climb 38 flights on the stair climber.
- Complete two items on my spring cleaning list.
A Recap of The First Seven Months’ Accomplishments
We’re almost at the 2/3rds mark for my goals! Here’s where things stand:
1.) Go to the gym regularly (4 to 5x a week) and increase all the weights I’m currently lifting over the next 12 months (Goal=200 times this year). I went to the gym 8 times in May, 10 times in April, 13 times in March, 12 times in February, only 2 times in January (it was a crazy month!), 8 times in December, 11 times in November, and 16 times in October, so 80 times so far. (40% complete)
2.) Master the stair master and climb 100 flights of stairs. This was on pause for about five months when I injured my knee; I started the year at 6 flights of stairs, and I’ve worked my way up to 33 flights. (33% complete)
3.) Eat 6 to 10 fruits and vegetables a day. This is hit or miss. I definitely have to focus on this more.
4.) Honor my body and all it does for me by learning and practicing intuitive eating. I found a nutritionist who specializes in intuitive eating and have seen her 7x. I am getting the hang of it, slowly but surely.
5.)Do yoga or Tai Chi regularly (Goal=150 times this year). I was failing, but lately I’ve been starting my morning with Tai Chi. Now, if I could get in the habit of doing yoga before bed, I might still complete this goal! I did Tai Chi 10 times in May, 1 time in February, 2 times in January, 5 times in December, and yoga 3 times in November for a total of 21 times (14% complete).
7.) Read 5 books about health/wellness. Oof, failing at this goal. I almost finished Glucose Revolution ,before I had to return it to the library. That’s it!
8.) Study Japanese, or read a book, or do some combination of both for 45 to 60 minutes a day. I’m slowly (very slowly) getting back into my Japanese study, but I’ve been reading up a storm. I finished these books in the last eight months:
