Goal Update February 2024

Each month, I report my progress toward my goals or lack thereof; here's how February went.

Intermittent fasting minimum of four days per week

I achieved this goal, but it didn't have the impact I hoped for. I'm unsure if it's the right eating style for me. I'm returning to regular meal intervals while maintaining the Mediterranean eating style.

Weigh in under 200 pounds.

600 exercise minutes per month

I was sure this would be the first month I missed this goal in a long time. I just made it with 612 exercise minutes. I logged six cycling sessions, went for six walks, three regular lifting sessions, and one run/walk. I've been having the toughest time with motivation right after school.

Meditate a minimum of four days per week

It was a rough month. Out of all of my goals, this one is proving to be the most challenging. I managed nine meditations in all. I keep telling myself that it is better than nothing.

Complete and document at least three thirty-day challenges

Read two education books and write a book summary for each

I’m reading Onward: Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Educators by Elena Aguilar.

Read two personal development books and write a book summary for each

I’m reading Atomic Habits by James Clear with the rest of my colleagues at school for professional development. I can see why this book is so popular. It is easy to understand and contains some simple tips that can create a big impact.

Publish two podcasts per month

Publish two YouTube videos each month

It was a big month with eight videos. Some videos were for students, and the others were video versions of the podcast episodes. I started using a new tool called Descript. It's been fun trying to figure out how all the features work.
