New Year, New Goals: Setting Resolutions for a Fresh Start

[RO0STERSrAWESOME]

for 2025 I'd like to exercise more, spend more time outside, and become my nieces favorites aunt

For 2025, I want to keep my perfect string of working out on the elliptical (387 days in a row so far!). I want to add 10K steps, and a 3 minute plank every day. I've been doing the last two for awhile, but making it a resolution makes it seem more official.

I plan to continue with oatmeal/steel cut oats for breakfast 5 days a week, and other healthy eating habits.

Part of the reason for doing this is to drop 20 points on my cholesterol by my next physical in July.

Oh, gracious, I'm terrible at keeping New Year's Resolutions. Especially as I dislike all of my 2025 goals... it's going to take some serious self-discipline (which I do not have) to keep these.

• gain ten pounds
• pass the military PFT test with ease by my birthday (June)
• get a full-time job, whatever that looks like
• build, plant, and grow a garden
• learn to cook something
• stop a bad habit I've struggled with for years

A few:

Write one good or positive thing into a jar every day to open when I need encouragement
Commit to personal betterment, mentally and physically
Work on being more open emotionally

And more

I have a hard time with new years stuff too. I now often set random goals throughout the year.

I’ve got a few…
Run at least 400 miles.
Get a half hour of exercise in every single day no matter how I feel.
Have Sunday as a detox day—no phone allowed!
Read my Bible all the way through again.

I’m in awe! Very motivating to hear you’ve kept such a great habit for that long.

Yes, me too. But I think I’ll make a few of my in-progress goals more concrete.

That's how the elliptical came about. One of our neighbors had a heart attack (Dec 6, 2023), and hubby and I both had a hard think about our health. He said he was going to start working out on the elliptical, and I said I'd join him.

He hasn't missed a day, except when he's been gone on vacation or business.

Each day is the start of a new year; it's just that we assign so much significance to January 1st because the year number changes.

By the way, the docs gave out neighbor 3-6 months. She's still here.


And I mean every single one of those emojis.

Yes, I try to see it this way too. Good awareness to have.
