January 2020 Add 'em up Goals Challenge ~Join us!

Come join us in setting and achieving goals to promote your overall wellness! We are a friendly and welcoming group who love to chat when we have time, but please also feel free to join us if you want to just focus on your goals. No pressure here to address everyone; share as little or as much as you want!

We have been doing this challenge for many years now. While it is not strictly about fitness goals, we agree that our daily life goals work together with our fitness goals to make us happier and more balanced, so we combine them in this challenge. Feel free to join us! You can tailor it to your schedule if you need to take a week off for vacation or only count so many days. Whatever works for you!

Premise: Choose your goals for the month. Every time you complete a goal you get a point. Multiply your number of daily goals by the number of days in the month. This is your max total points. If you choose, reward yourself for reaching a certain percentage of your max possible (I use 90% for my personal goal), multiply by your max to get your total goal points. I also give myself extra credit options.

Posting this a few days early since some of us may be very busy next week!

Grand Plans in 2020 (in no certain order)
Minimize multitasking--I don't get things done faster, it takes away the joy of some tasks, it ruins my ability to focus, and sometimes it makes me more anxious.
Focus on healthier eating--remember that some diseases and illnesses are preventable and only I can control what I eat. Cut back on sugar and increase natural fiber.
Work on building strength
Keep working with Cyric on his reactivity, trust and anxiety issues
Get more sleep!
Be less engrossed in TV and spend more time with hubby
Work on habit stacking (after I eat, train Cyric; after we walk, workout) and replacing less positive habits/activities with better alternatives (instead of baking do Sudoku or other puzzles; instead of eating another cookie do pushups or squats)
Stop procrastinating!



Vannie's January goals

1. Get up by 7:00 on weekdays
2. Bedtime at 11:10 every night
3. Housework for at least 20 minutes every weekday

4. No more than one cookie a day
5. No eating after 10 PM
6. No seconds at supper 5x/week

7. Activity for Cyric 2 days/week (nature walk, dog park, brain games, nosework, basement agility--I have no idea how realistic this goal is and will need to do some prep work and reading to make it happen)
8. Train Cyric at least 5 days/week

9. PT rehab 3 days/week
10. Foam roll/ball massage 2 days/week
11. Strength training 3 days/week
12. Yoga/stretch daily
13. Run 9 miles/week

14. Daily meditation and ODB
15. Read one chapter/day in a running book

Big projects this month: declutter, clean and organize spare room and gym

Extra credit:
1. 7 hours of sleep (10 pts)
2. 20000 steps
3. New workout done
4. Run with Cyric
5. 10 BOSU pushups, 30 BOSU squats, 50 kettlebell swings

Max possible points: 327 (avg 10.5 pts/day)
Points goal (90%): 294 (avg 9.5 pts/day)
Reward: personal satisfaction!

Jan 1-5 pts (out of avg 52) ~ %
Jan 6-12 pts (out of avg 74) ~ %
Jan 13-19 pts (out of avg 74) ~ %
Jan 20-26 pts (out of avg 74) ~ %

I added the Sadhana to my January Goals which I'm in great need of. I also fell off the wagon in my water goals towards the end of December and need to renew my commitment for that.

I enjoyed reading all your goals. Scarlett, glad you can join us!

Hindsight is 2020 so they say but this year, 2020 we will be looking forward! Happy New Year to us all!

I need to solidify my goals and get all my spreadsheets and stuff ready. I usually do it on NYE but we rewatched the last Star Wars so our memories are fresh when we go see the new one and then we started watching the series Farscape again so I was too focused on that. Working on all my geek-out stuff today.

Happy New Year!
