Quick update on my 2025 goals. I feel like this first quarter went by fast. I did a lot of traveling to snowboard, see friends, and away at conferences. It has been challenging to stay on top of everything that I want to, but so far have been managing fairly well. Here are my current standings in all the categories posted in January with updates on them in italics:

Fitness

• Prioritize strength over muscle hypertrophy (low reps, high resistance) doing well for the most part, but have been in the gym a little less due to snowboarding more
• Focus on plyometrics and power/speed keeping strength a priority, but will transition to this in the next month or so
• Build a solid running base started :)
• Complete 2nd half marathon :) (may decided a goal race time if I stay injury free) Will do in Oct

Financial Doing very well overall for financial goals. Meeting monthly contributions to hit target end of the target end-of-the-year goals. Have been a little tight financially to do this, so might reassess how realistic these all are.

• Pay off highest interest loan
• Meet 3K emergency fund goal
• Max out Roth IRA
• Pay down debt to or past target amount set

CEUs/PT goals

• Functional Dry Needling certification MET! Certified Dry Needling lvl-1
• Barbell Rehab in-person course (hopefully) Nothing currently set, haven’t seen any coming in my nearby area
• Establish work Lunch & Learn monthly MET! Have to continue to plan for each month

Family & Friends

• Travel to see all members of my immediate family at least 1x this year progressing/have a trip planned to see a few
• Intentionally keep up with close friends at least 1x/month even if just a text Doing fair with this. Haven’t gotten to all of my close friends, but overall have been more intentional with connecting and this was the main part of the goal I wanted to achieve

Blog

• Average 2 posts/month Not doing the best at this, have at least 1x/month, but I would like to be more consistent.
• Make content I would like to make/read I feel I have done a good job at this goal for the blog. My posts have been less frequent, but more concise and thoughtful, I think.
