My Goals I Want to Achieve in 2020: Week 17 of 52

This post contains affiliate links. Slowly, week by week, I’m getting back on track with my goals. Hopefully by next week I will be 100% back to where I should be to accomplish this year’s goals. Here is an update on my goals I want to achieve in 2020: weeks 17 of 52.

Health

Exercise At Least 3,900 Minutes This Year

ACCOMPLISHED THIS WEEK. I exercised 76 minutes over the last week!! I now have a grand total of 640 minutes for the year, making this goal 16.4% complete.

Track on WW Every Day

ACCOMPLISHED THIS WEEK! Not only did I track this week, but I stayed within my points for the week, and I lost two pounds! It feels great to finally be going in the right direction again.

Learn Techniques to Handle, Recognize, and End Emotional Eating

NOT accomplished this week.

Spirituality

I have two goals with this.

Read a Passage of the Bible Daily

NOT accomplished this week. I did read a few of the Mass readings in The Word Among Us as well as reading the reflections, but I didn’t do it every day.

Attend One Week Day Mass Weekly

NOT accomplished this week. So far, I’ve accomplished this goal 7/17 weeks. It’s really challenging for me to watch daily Mass. I’d much rather be there in person.

Blog

Progress on this has stalled.

DONE!!–Have the Site Redesigned and Updated

The new redesign is complete.

Transfer My Email List

As I mentioned previously, over the years, I have lost access to my email list! Yikes! Enough people have resigned up that last week I was able to send out a newsletter again. Yay! If you were on my previous email list and haven’t signed up again yet, will you please sign up?

Update at Least 200 Posts for SEO

I didn’t update any this week.

DONE!!–Delete at Least 100 Irrelevant Posts

I did a little bit more on this and have deleted 635 posts. That’s the good news. The bad news is that I’m only on July, 2011. I still have almost 9 more years to go through!!!!

Read 40 Books

I have completed 16 books so far this year, making this goal 40% complete.

Last week I finished Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker by Jennifer Chiaverini.

This week I started Nothing More Dangerous by Allen Eskens.

Be sure to check out my historical fiction I want to read. If you’re a fellow bookworm, follow me on Goodreads; I’d love to follow you.

Learn Japanese

Do Duolingo Every Day

I did Duolingo every day the last week, putting me on a 169 day streak.

Complete Japanese from Zero Book One

Some progress. I did two days of Mango Languages‘ Japanese course. My husband’s nephew needs to start speaking English every week for his university, so we’re going to have a Zoom call with them once a week. We’ll get to practice our Japanese, and he gets to practice his English, so it should be fun.

Gain Control of My Email

My Google email now has 393 emails———–>down from 5,957 emails at the beginning of the year. This email is 93.4% completely finished.

No progress on these other nightmare email accounts:

My Yahoo blog email has 93,155 emails.

My Yahoo spam email has 161,328 emails.

My Yahoo personal email has 58, 832 emails.

GOALS ELIMINATED THIS YEAR DUE TO THE VIRUS

Reduce Our Grocery Bill

I HAVE ELIMINATED THIS GOAL FOR THE YEAR.

My goal was to reduce our grocery bill to $10,000 or $833 a month. HOWEVER, given the current pandemic and the fact that I can no longer bargain shop as I used to, my husband and I decided to eliminate this goal.

Right now, we’re not stepping foot in the store, so we’re relying on online deliveries and what I can get from the grocery store pick up, which is really hit or miss. Given our food intolerances, we can’t just eat whatever is available.

In March, we spent $1,258.37 (I had a large freezer cooking session in the beginning of March that made this bill a bit higher than normal, and I also put down $100 as a deposit for a 1/4 side of beef.)

In February we spent $895.08 – Not accomplished

In January, our total was $804.74 – Accomplished!
