I have been thinking about what I want to focus on this year and what achievable goals could help me with that. So I have a two physical (health) goal, a spiritual goal, and a strengthening my family goal.
First off for Family I want to be more consistent in having lessons for our Monday night family home evening. We do pretty well but that is all thanks to Bracken. He is the one that comes up with lessons most of the time so now I'm going to help out. I want to have family home evening at least 39 times this year (averaging missing only once a month)
Second, since I help in our church's primary (children's classes), I miss the adult lessons. I'm going to try and study the lessons for Sunday School & Relief Society the week before the lesson. Even though I won't be in on the discussion at church, at least I will have read them.
Third, , for my physical health goal I'm going to try one new recipe a week. Ideally, they would always be "healthy" recipes but I'm giving myself some leeway so if I'm just not in the mood a certain week I can go ahead and make that S'mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie.¹
Fourth, I'm going to do a triathlon! I have wanted to do one for a long time and this is the year. I looked up triathlons and found one at Lake Mead on April 21st. I've vacillated this whole week on if I should do it or not and finally pulled the trigger tonight and registered. The 750 meter swim will be a piece of cake, the 30 mile bike ride...a bit iffy, the 3.1 mile run will probably kill me. Better get my running shoes on and start training!
Anyone want to join me? I'd love someone to do it with.
So there you go. Hopefully doable and I'll probably report on here about the new recipes I've tried and how Family Home evening went in order to track my progress. But no, I won't be posting pictures of me running. Growing up my brother & his friend told me I looked like a frog when I ran....never really got over it...those jerks :)

¹Brooke, I've been wanting to make these with you but forget every time I'm up in Cedar. One of these times it will be done. My favorite snack, CCC and your favorite S'Mores. TOGETHER--It has to be amazing. (I decided a footnote was appropriate for this, given our father has such a love for them)

YAY! You can do it! You will do fine with the triathlon. My friend has done the Lake Mead one and loved it.
Oh! And the sprint length for the bike is only 12.4 miles (20k). You can totally do that!
I did the Bear Lake Sprint Triathlon a few years ago...the swim about killed me, but the bike was easy. Good thing you are a swimmer :)
Nice job on posting everyday - I'm impressed since I still don't have anything up from Christmas and probably won't for a while! You'll do great on the triathlon! My husband has been trying to convince me I could do it, but for me I think I'd die in the swim. Good luck!
Can I say once again how lucky you are to be such a great swimmer! Good luck with the training!
