Welcome to my first check-in of 2023! I’m switching things up this year and posting check-ins on Sundays instead of Saturdays.
My big goal for 2023 is to walk 900 miles. I still haven’t decided on a big reward yet, but my weekly goal of 17.26 miles will earn me $5 towards something on my wishlist, and my monthly goal of 75 miles will earn me a trip to the bookstore.
I finally bought a piece of home gym equipment – an elliptical! It’s supposed to arrive tomorrow, and once I get it set up, I’ll be using it to get some cardio on days when the weather isn’t cooperating (and that seems to be more days than not).
I’ve got less than 2 miles to reach my 800-mile goal for the year! I will be walking those miles today 🙂
This is my last check-in of 2022. Even though I usually only report on Friday through Thursday of the previous week, I’ve included yesterday’s numbers as well.

The crazy Winter storm might be keeping me indoors, but I will walk laps in the house if I have to. I don’t want to have gotten so close and then miss my goal by a few miles!
I’ve got less than 50 miles to reach my 800-mile goal for the year!
I’ve been busy baking, shopping, and decorating, but I’ve also been setting aside time to relax with the Boyfriend by watching Christmas movies and reading Christmas-themed books before bed.
I’ve got less than 60 miles to walk to reach my 800-mile goal for the year!
I had my final physical therapy appointment this week and met all the goals we agreed on during my initial appointment. I’ll never be pain-free, but my average day-to-day pain is low enough now that I can mostly ignore it, and I have a TENS unit for when I can’t.
I’m posting this later in the day than I normally like, but the Boyfriend and I went shopping for everything we need to make Thanksgiving dinner, and that took quite a bit of time.
I am so excited to be less than 10 miles away from hitting 700 miles! I’ve been trying to hit that miler marker for the Charity Challenge for years, and I just barely missed it last year, but this year I’ve got over a month left to go. I know I won’t reach 1K miles, but I think I might still be able to get to 800. I’ve adjusted my goal accordingly.
During my most recent physical therapy appointment, I tried out a TENS unit to see if it would help, and it was amazing! I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t in any pain, and so this is a game changer. I’m continuing with my physical therapy, of course, but I now have a lot more hope that I can start doing a lot of the things I haven’t been able to do for a long time.
I’ve been tired a lot lately. I assumed it was because I’ve been in a lot of pain, and there’s been a lot going on over the past couple of months, and the weather has not been helpful either. It turns out that, while all of that is definitely true, I’m also low on vitamin D again (I had to be on a supplement a few years ago). I’m now back on the supplement, and I’m hoping that my energy will improve soon.
