Big Goals for 2023: Wk 23/52

You can be relaxed and dedicated. Just because you worry more, doesn’t mean you care more. – James Clear

I’m going to use this quote as inspiration to pause and relax more frequently.

A new local spot has added a fantastic fried baloney sandwich with an onion ring to its menu. I have not had one of these since I was a little girl!

And, I tried the green bowl at WooCasa. How in the world did I wait this long to check out this local restaurant?

Big Goals for 2023: Wk 22/52

Broaden your interests. It’s nice to have at least one surprising hobby or passion. People find it interesting. In many ways, the part of you that is least expected is more respected. – James Clear

I’m going to use this quote as inspiration to try new types of rides, new instructors, and new Peloton classes.

01: Purge 1000 items {Status: 980/1000}

Oooohhhh! I’m so close, following the recycling of 23 t-shirts this week.

02: Organize the Attic 

Another week with the attic door closed. May/June remains busy!

03: Read 100 Books {Status: 22/100}

I did enjoy a little bit of beach time this week — including books!

In Progress
How Not to Die (Health)
Radical Candor (Professional, re-read)
Mindset (Professional, re-read)

Complete:
Pleasure Reading: 22 books.

04: Try 52 New Recipes {Status: 20/52}

Our family invested in the NinjaCreami! We tried Peanut Butter Chocolate ice cream (4 stars) and Vanilla Cheesecake (meh). But, this device is a gamechanger for someone (me) who loves ice cream but not the sugar!
