what are your fun, low stakes new year resolutions?

My kiddo and I are having a fruit and vegetable challenge. Each month we'll seek out a fruit or vegetable we've never tried and taste it. My BFF is trying to walk all the greenways in our county (that is county not country, low stakes! Attainabl!). How about you?

I'm planning to walk 1000 km in 2024. Nowhere fancy, just around my neighborhood.

That's just around 2.74km (rounded up) per day. So around 30 minutes of walking per day. Are you sure you're not doing more than that already?

Ah... Sadly no. That's why is my low stakes resolution. :) I work from home and I've gotten very lazy. I just roll from my bedroom to the office, down to the kitchen, and repeat.

American workers have a lot of struggle getting walking in as their jobs don’t require hardly any. Walk to car, drive to work to park in garage and walk a few hundred feet to elevator, from elevator a few hundred feet to desk, repeat that trip home, make dinner, go to bed, repeat the next day. It’s even worse for remote workers as they walk from a bed to a desk at most, many remote people I know work from their bed (I could never…)
