Let's check in on my 2019 goals!
1. Eat at least one vegetarian dinner every week.
I don't really have control over this as CP is the person that cooks every night, but we did very poorly with this one. I would like to push for this in 2020.
2. Lose 25 pounds this year.
Well unfortunately this fall I backslid into TERRIBLE habits when I couldn't run anymore and while
I definitely work out more working from home, my daily step count is terrible. It has
I definitely work out more working from home, my daily step count is terrible. It has
turned into gaining weight....so now I have even more to lose in 2020. :-(
3. Work out for at least 30 minutes at least three times a week.
This has gone pretty well. I started Morning Meltdown 100 (MM100) through Beachbody this
fall and all of the workouts are less than 30 minutes. Even when I travel I can do the workouts
that don't require weights so I should hit workout #50 TODAY!
4. Continue monthly dates with CP.
We probably hit this.
5. Get our credit card balance to $0 this year.
Done! We hit this halfway through the year and have continued this even through
Christmas. Woo hoo!
6. Get a new job.
Done! I love my new job!
7. Continue to be politically active whether it is writing postcards to voters, contacting my
elected officials about things that are important to me, or participating in marches.
Still doing this. Will likely step up my game in 2020.
8. Run in at least three races this year including the Soldier Field 10 miler.
Done! This spring I did a 10k, Soldier Field 10 miler, and a half marathon. On Thanksgiving
Day I powered through a turkey trot 5k which left me in pain from plantar fasciitis for days (I did
not run at all before the race). I have new shoes (Hoka One One) but still find myself in pain
because I do some jumping in MM100.
9. Run one race with Izzy this year.
Izzy sprained her ankle right before Thanksgiving so we couldn't do the turkey trot together (I
had signed her up for it). Maybe we can do a race next year?

Great job with the running and credit card debt! I made a splurge purchase this summer and then my transmission died a week later, so I’ve been carrying a balance for the first time in years. My 2020 goal is to get out of this debt and paid for things the old fashioned way -save first
Sounds like you did a great job hitting most of your goals! Good job on the races, although I'm sorry you've been dealing with that darn plantar fasciitis again. Hope Izzy's ankle is healing up as well!
Sounds like you got quite a few of those goals! A ten mile race is quite an achievement, as is paying off the credit card (and keeping it there). Hopefully Izzy's ankle is feeling better soon, along with your plantar faciitis (ouch).

Wow, great job with your goals! There running races especially, because that is HARD. I feel like I'd love to get into slow running again, but my knees are so terrible and my feet are awful... Maybe the right shoes will help. We have a few running shoes stores that do analysis, maybe that will help. I love your political activity and your date nights! I hope Izzy's ankle heals up and you can do some runs together. Clearing credit card balance is such a wonderful feeling. Congrats! And the weight... I hear you. It gets harder and harder to lose it, and it's so frustrating to not see the scale moving in the right direction. The holidays are not good for weight loss, so you can be kind to yourself. There Beachbody sounds great -- you sound like you're doing all the healthy things on the movement front. Here's to 2020!
I love these updates you do. I think you do an amazing job of meeting your goals especially considering everything else you have going on in your life! Way to go!
P.S. I’m going back to Chicago first of March. I’m expecting it to be soooo cold. Lol
