Dear Adventure Avenue,
Every year, I like to write out my goals on this blog as a way to keep track of each goal. Every month I update my progress on here and provide commentary on how I’m doing on that goal.
1. Read 50 books this year. Of those 50 books, I want to read 4 French books. Two goals in one.
In January, I listened to Reconnected by Carlos Whittaker and read Eragon by Christopher Paolini – the same book I had bought at the OC Library Event.
I’m currently reading Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros, and Everything I Want to do is Illegal by Joel Salatin.
I’m reading Taming 7 by Chloe Walsh and Rich AF by Vivian Tu on my kindle
I’m also listening to Thank You for Listening by Julia Whelan.
2. Go to one new Coffee Shop a month. I’m doing this one with a friend and am so excited to complete this one!
In January, I went to Restoration Hardware’s rooftop cafe. The views were great!
3. Exercise 2025 minutes. (That’s about 169 minutes a month).
In January, I did 40 minutes of strength training with weights, 22 minutes on the bike, and I did 70 minutes of yoga. In January, I did 132 minutes.
4. Strength train with weights 40 minutes a month. (This goal counts towards goal #3)
In January, I did exactly 40 minutes!
5. Decrease number of photos on phone from 11,124 down to under 8,000 by posting travel pictures 3 times a month (and then deleting them afterwards).
I’m down to 11,094. I posted one blog post this month for this goal – My Restoration Hardware Cafe Post.
6. TOP Secret Goal
Phase 1 is RESEARCH.
I’m still in the research phase.
7. Make my Disney pass “worth it”
I have the Enchant Key which is the second tier and means I can go on some Sundays and most weekdays (but due to work, I’ll only be spending weeknights). This means I need to spend 82 hours at Disneyland, and it is assuming a 1day ticket is $119, the cheapest option outside of any specials they run. Based on a 10-hour day spent at Disney and that ticket price, I calculated that one hour at Disneyland is equal to $11.90.
In January, I went to Disneyland 4 times in January and was there for 18.25 hours and I spent $36.25 on parking.
Until next time,
A
