lose weight (read all 5 entries…)
It's been a while 9 months ago

...since I’ve taken ownership on my weight loss via this team. I hope all are faring well.

Since last July, I’ve lost 25 lbs. For optimal weight range, I’d like to lose 20 more yet argh….my discipline has dipped considerably.

And thus, I’m back with this motivational group.

Set up a financial plan with my husband
Financial plan = clarity = liberation 9 months ago

Simply meeting with a financial planner and getting a range of retirement figures to strive for really helped. My anxiety about “will it be enough, will it be enough” relaxed considerably. I just needed to know “the number.”Even if our income streams decrease unexpectedly along the way, we know exactly what amount to resume (or increase) to attain certain financial goals, especially retirement funding.

tour Pearl Harbor
USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor - a moving memorial 1 year ago

I was able to check this off ‘my thangs list’ effective last week. The setting on which the memorial exhibits and actual Arizona is open, beautiful, peaceful. One can peruse the museum before watching the 20 minute historical summary of Pearl Harbor’s attack (an apt, inclusive account with diverse footage)—and the being shuttled via boat across the harbor to the actual USS Arizona’s memorial site.

NOTE: Tickets are required; go early to draw your group-numbered ticket e.g. tickets are organized via chronologically numbered groups — to ideally get called to view both the film and the Arizona in a shorter length of time. I vote arriving early by 7:am.
