There are many things I’m not doing this January.
I’m not doing the North 60 Canada’s Winter running challenge, but you might want to.
I’m not doing Veganuary.
Or dry January.
Or the Hard 75 Challenge.
I love the idea of Row 31 but I’m traveling this January and won’t have easy access to my rowing machine. Next year!
In other years I’ve kicked off the new year with Yoga with Adriene but not this year. Here’s the link to her January 2025 plan.
I like the idea of playful adventures but I’m pretty good at those on my own. I don’t resolutions to get out and have fun. But if you do any, please let us know and maybe guest blog about it.
So what am I doing?
Instead, this January, I’m re-upping what’s been working for me. I’m re-engaging with my favorite habit tracker and getting back to basics.
What’s new on the list?
Mobility instead of just physio. I still need to do physio exercises for my knees but I also want to keep some hip and back flexibility as I age. I figure since I’ve got good physio habits, I can just incorporate additional mobility moves into my knee physio routine.
I want to include the world’s greatest stretch. The world’s best personal trainer Meg taught me it a few years ago now.
Connection is also new on the list. I want to make more of an effort to reach out to people and maintain friendships.
And veggies! I’d like to eat one vegan meal a day and try to eat more veggies in 2025. That’s always a work in progress for me. A few years ago I tried for ten servings of fruits and veggies a day and recently I was shocked at a fitness blogger who wrote about eating 10+ servings of veggies at each meal. Yikes.
In addition for the first few weeks of January I’m focusing on decluttering and getting rid of stuff, and packing for my research leave.
Back to basics, it is. Wish me luck.
