A day in the life ... (1/31/23)

It's been about 5 years since I did a day in the life post. I randomly thought about how I should type today.  Google paid storage is too full so I don't have photos backed up so this will be without photos. 


7:20 alarm went off and I hit snooze. 

7:50-8:30 Got dressed and getting the kids ready for school. 

Photobooked until Liam woke up (20 min or so)

Got Liam ready for school

Grocery store

Dropped Liam off at school.  (~10:30) 

Drove home forget what I did 

Left for Trader Joe's

Got home, unpacked, groceries, immediately headed to a meeting. 

Meeting location had to change on the fly since the Library isn't open. 

Meeting until 12:45. 

Drove home, wiped off the counters, put a frozen meal in the microwave and did follow-up to the meeting. 

Ate and did follow-up to meeting.

Drove to where I pick up the kids. Ran. Had to cut the run short since I didn't have enough time. 

Picked up the kids, listened to some jokes from Ella, took a shower, did some dental insurance stuff, emptied garbages, went and got Liam. Then I put in laundry since he had an accident during nap at school. 

Dinner prep, dinner, photobooked while delaying going downstairs for Liam's bedtime. The kids complained about dinner but did better eating compared to normal. Also before dinner was ready, I gave them fruit and they ate 1.5 containers of strawberries that I just bought today. Had issues with photoboking and it took longer. I finished February 2020 in my photobooking.

Got Liam ready for bed but he's awake and I typed this at 10 pm.  He will probably go to sleep by 11 pm and I realize I have to do 1 more workout to hit my January goal so I guess after he's asleep that's what I'm doing. 

I feel like I had no time but old Day in the life posts were worse since I can sleep almost 8 hours and before I couldn't.  (I try all the time to photobook and usually photobook twice a month but I managed to do a little 2 days in a row.)

2022 Random Goals - How I did

I made random goals again and forgot about them again or didn't forget about them but then forgot to document. There are a lot of things not complete but I still think I did pretty well.

    • I started it and it has been so helpful so far but I never finished.

I'll keep my same reach goals in 2021 that I had in 2020. I didn't make either of them.

Reach goals
  1. Clean the kitchen 2x week = ? (I documented it 3x all year. hahaha. Last marked off January 20. I definitely spent time more than 2x week cleaning the kitchen but it doesn't count since I didn't document it)❌
  2. Make bed 2x week = 67 (needed 104)  but actually I didn't document it for 3 months and then didn't again for 2 months ❌

How I did on past years:

2022 Exercise Goals - How I did

 

For 2022, here are my exercise goals and how I did:

  1. Run 250 miles (with a reach goal of 500 miles) = 800.13 mi  ✅
  2. Run 104 times (With a reach goal of 200 times) = 247  ✅
  3. Complete 3 Beachbody programs = 1  ❌ (I did do a month of Bodi and did 2 weeks of Liift More. I also might have done all the 10 minute workouts that were pretty old but it wasn't considered a program.)
  4. Exercise in some form 156 times (that's 3x/week) (Reach goal of 312) = 413  ✅
  5. Win 20 step bets = 24  ✅
Oops I only did 4 of 5. I knew I wasn't keeping up with programs so then I added BOD workouts to my exercise file.  (I have a gap in the pull-ups since I did not know where to put the chin up bar. 

Here are the details: 

To go green for every month was at least the normal goal above but some months were higher. 

I have kept up with my exercise goals google sheet. I also did add some other things that I kept track of! I even made a file for Beth and she kept track of all her goals too!  ✅

I hope to run at least 3 in person races. - I ran 5  ✅
