Fitness goals 2022:

• Take 4 handstand classes – I worked on handstand prep in some classes but never actually took a handstand class. I would like to take at least one next year!
• Take floorwork advanced series – Unfortunately, I never got a chance to take this class due to scheduling conflicts 😦
• Pass intermediate inversions into advanced inversions at Divine Movement Dance – I switched to mainly taking Lyra classes this year and didn’t attend enough pole classes consistently to finesse the two transitions that were holding me back (pike to superman and Allegra to pike)
• 10 chin-ups/pull-ups – Accomplished 07/27/2022!
• 1-handed pull-up – Accomplished and I put this move into my September Lyra performance
• Handspring Ayesha – Still working on this move and will continue to try in 2023 whenever I take pole classes
• 1000 miles total on my ebike – Seattle weather and a move kept me somewhat shy of this goal. As soon as my bike is fixed from moving damage, I’ll be able to hit this goal and then some! 267.5 miles total in 2022; 260 miles total in 2021; 390 miles total in 2020 for a grand total of 917.5 miles!
• Floor limbo just because – After seeing someone do this on the grass at a party and on roller skates at a party, it piqued my interest but I never actually attempted to learn how to do it… Would be a neat party trick but I’d have to ask someone who knows what they’re doing if my body has what it takes to get there.
• Go to every pole studio in Seattle – I took a class at all the studios: Divine Movement Kirkland, Divine Movement Seattle, Ascendance, Pole Fitness Seattle, Pole Fitness Seattle Bellevue, Raven Studios, Versatile Arts, Mora Pole Studio, and Emerald City Trapeze Arts. I went to a clothing exchange at Positive Spin but never got to take any classes there.

• 1000 miles lifetime on my ebike

Fitness goals 2020:

I want to try out some small lifestyle change style challenges. I wanted to spend each month focusing on a different aspect of health and fitness. Here are my ideas so far: stretching every morning, increasing my water intake, cooking all my own food, reading more self-growth books, eating more veggies, biking/running, reducing my sugar intake. I very much enjoy the Blogilates challenges and may continue to use those challenges and/or the monthly calendar. 2020 Fitness Actual: I didn’t go forward with this 12-month style challenge and meandered a lot throughout the year with my fitness. I joined a 4-week lifestyle and fitness group challenge and then completed the P-90X fitness course. I completed the Divine 12 days of fitness challenge (taking 12 online classes within 17 days). I tried out an advent style fitness challenge that I abandoned 15 days in because it was too much for my body.

Fitness goals 2021:

• Freestanding handstand
• Take floorwork intermediate series
• Pass intermediate inversions into advanced inversions at Divine Movement Dance
• Get to 12 pullups of any kind in a row
• Bike 1000 total on my ebike (already 390 from 2020)

Finances Goals 2020:

1. Max out my Roth IRA, 401k and HSA contributions
   1. Nailed it! Maxed out all three of these investment accounts
2. Build up my emergency savings to 6 months
   1. I think I’ve accomplished this goal. If I were to rely on my emergency savings, I wouldn’t spend as much as I do currently monthly so what I have saved would actually last 6 months. If I were to calculate 6 month’s spending then I’m I’m $2300 short of a complete 6 month’s emergency savings. In another 8 months I would have that amount in my emergency savings with my automatic savings plan.
3. Save 50% of my income.
   1. I spent 40% of my gross income
   2. I spent 53% of my net income
4. Reach 6-figure net worth
   1. Mid-December I hit this goal!

Finances Goals 2021:

1. Max out my Roth IRA, 401k and HSA contributions
2. Save 50% of my income

Writing Goals 2020:

• Deplete my physical book inventory
  • Sold/gave away 42 print books this year!
• Break even on Ataxia and At One’s Beast
  • With my marketing push, I was able to meet this goal in January!
• Revamp my website
  • Pushed this off
• Write 4 short stories
  • I wrote 2 short stories, one of which was published in the Lost Train Anthology with FVP
• Send out 4 newsletters
  • Technically I already met this goal with my early December promotional newsletter, but I have one more to send out for my end of year recap.
• Publish a new coloring book
  • Did not pursue this new project

Writing Goals 2021

• Deplete my physical book inventory
• Go to a conference/workshop for writing

Theme for 2020: Hygge (2019: Minimize)

2019 Goals:

1. Nail the Divine intermediate inversions combo – I ran out of classes and decided to use my remaining passes to take daytime Boudouir classes because my body was ready for a slower-paced class. I really enjoyed Missy’s classes. 
2. Learn hand balancing moves (specifically a hand stand) – I worry about overtaxing my wrists and haven’t worked specifically on accomplishing this goal this year. I did take a handstand workshop and a one-on-one class.
3. Take more acro yoga classes – I took a few acro yoga classes at the beginning of the year but after crossing over the initial learning curve, the classes didn’t interest me as much as pole classes. 
4. Learn to make fluffy gluten free bread – I have been exploring cooking more this year but have only made GF bread a few times. I would like to eventually learn all the secrets to a perfect loaf but may not put this specific goal back on my list.
5. Finish my scrapbook – I’ve decided that I don’t need a scrapbook anymore and will continue to keep my electronic records.
6. Finish my health book through 2018 – I have my complete health records up to this year and plan to make a short version to place in my Will vault prior to my birthday in January.
7. Management/Kanban training – Sadly the training I was signed up for to start in January of 2020 was not funded. I will wait to see if the next session in the fall will be funded and continue to look for more training opportunities.
8. Learn massage techniques – My SO bought me an all-day workshop at a local massage school and I loved it! 
9. Dog sit/walk a corgi – I was able to walk two corgis this year.
10. Goat/cat yoga – I didn’t get around to signing up for this class and probably won’t unless with my dance group due to the high price of the class.
11. Volunteer at Thrill the World and perform for the 5th year! I knew I was going to check this off the list… 
12. Learn Turkish (get through the 12 modules on my Rosetta Stone app) – I’m proud of this accomplishment. I have stuck with my casual and slow learning of Turkish all year. Am I fluent? Not even close. I will continue to work on my vocabulary and grammar next year.

Of my 12 goals for 2019, I can officially cross off 5 of them. As the year progressed my priorities changed. I no longer wish to work on some of these goals at all and I no longer wish to prioritize others. For my travel dreams (Corgi Con, Pole expo, Blind Café, Herb Farm or a Michelin-starred restaurant) I didn’t do any of them. One of these years Corgi Con won’t also fall on the same weekend as something else I plan to do. Pole expo is quite expensive and I would only go with one of my pole sisters. If my SO and I travel to another city with a Blind Cafe we might check it out. Herb Farm or Michelin-starred restaurant will wait until I have much more cash to throw away on an extravagantly-priced meal or if we happen to be close by and can snag a reservation to one of the infamous Michelin restaurants. 

2020 Goals:

Each month I have written an accountability and check in post
