2019-2020 Goals

A year ago I posted the following list of goals for 2019, let's see how I did.


  • Keep moving, going to the gym 5 times per week. 
  • Plan a two week trip to the Pacific Northwest. 
  • Read 50 books 
  • Start on the condo updates
  • Explore the neighborhood - go out to dinner once a month 
  • Work on the top 10 list for post retirement
  • Daily Blog 

Mission accomplished.  I am keeping moving, making it to the gym 5 or 6 time a week, and I have recently upped my treadmill time from 30 to 45 minutes, 60 minutes on the weekends.  The trip to the Pacific Northwest was a smashing success, I really needed the break.  I just posted a list of 61 books read in 2019. We finished Jay's bathroom replacement and my bathroom will be done in early 2020.  We have gone out to eat, probably 25 times this year in the local area.  I am making progress on a post retirement plan.  With this posting, I have blogged at least once per day all year. My 4th year of not missing a day (I missed one day in 2015.) 


So what are my goals for 2020? 
  • Keep moving, go to the gym at least 5 times per week, start keeping a gym / activity log (I haven't done that in close to 20 years.) 
  • Take a two week trip to Ireland, Wales and London in early March.  
  • Read 50 books
  • Daily Blog 
  • Add 5,000 photographs to the archive 
  • Continue to build a life outside of the office. 
How did you do this year?  What are your goals for 2020?

  1. It's a nice feeling isn't it? And the thing is to have goals we can ATTIAN. 5,000 photographs to the archive....I think I blew that one out easily. My picture taking is way out of control.

    Well, I take this time now to wish you dear a Happy New Year to you both!!!

    What is this gym thing you speak of?

    I think I have missed some days of blogging but made up for it with two posts in one day.

  3. Congratulations! I don’t set annual goals for myself. I’m a one day at a time type. Wishing you both a happy new year!

  5. Yikes. This has been the worst year health-wise for me. I don't set goals, but I like anne marie's three.

    1. As long as I have this commute, I have time to read. When the commute is done, I should have even more time.
