Like many people do in the days leading up to January 1, I deliberately sat down with a journal and wrote out a list of goals I wanted to accomplish in the next 365 days. I covered all the biggies: finances, fitness, travel, relationships and even mental wellness. Also, like many people, I felt a bubbling confidence while scribbling away that made me feel like this year was going to be different in terms of actually achieving said goals.

Here we are, nearly six months later. To be perfectly honest with myself and with you, I do have some catching up to do. However, there's one category in which I've excelled and it's one that I've struggled with in previous years: health and fitness.

Here's the list of goals I wrote down before the clock struck midnight on December 31:

· Take more walks
· Branch out and try new fitness classes
· Take daily vitamins
· Prepare more meals at home
· Buy a bike — and actually use it
· Focus on health/fitness when traveling
· Meditate weekly
