Happy 2021! Although 2020 was a tumultuous year, I am excited about what 2021 will bring. I stopped creating New Year's resolutions some years ago and instead focus on obtaining goals for each year. Having said this, here are my list of goals to achieve in 2021:
- Start each day by completing devotional reading
- Increase my run/walk intervals by 2 minutes (currently doing 4/1 - 4 minutes running and 1 minute walking)
- Run three days a week (preferably Tuesday, Thursday, & Saturday)
- Shift from a junk food vegan diet to a plant based whole food vegan diet
- Remove junk food sweets from my diet (and eat fruit instead.)
- Break weight loss goals down into 5lbs increments (to prevent being overwhelmed by large to number of weight to lose)
- Work on having more date nights with Den
- Take time to practice self care daily (by doing something not tech related such as word search puzzles)
- End each day by writing in my journal (as a way to decompress from day)
- Add strength training to my workout routine.
- Write two blog posts a month (aiming for at the start of the month and at the end of the month.)
- Support black owned businesses (both physically and online)
- Support vegan businesses (both physically and online)
- Establish a better work/life balance (aka only do work during work hours)
