Planuary is a state of mind – FIT IS A FEMINIST ISSUE

Nutrition & Wellness


I’m pretty happy with how Planuary has gone this year.

I’ve managed to make some plans, test out a few ideas, and do some structured thinking about how I want to roll out some projects.

I haven’t actually taken a lot of action yet but actions are not the focus of Planuary anyway!

So, here are a few updates:

Journaling

Reflective journaling is going pretty well. I’m not getting to it daily yet but I am moving in that direction.

But if I don’t get to it in the morning, I need to find stronger ways to remind myself about it at other times of the day.

A dog is next to an e-reader on a bed in a dimly lit room. The device is glowing and lighting the dog’s face.
This photo of Khalee has nothing to do with my post but I thought it was funny because it looks like I interrupted her while she was reading. Image description: my dog, Khalee, is lying on her belly on my bed with her head raised. The room is dim and my ereader is glowing next to her, lighting the side of her face, and it kind of looks like she has turned from her book to look at the camera.

Yoga/Pushups

I did my yoga practice most days last week but my choices were hampered a bit by the fact that I woke up one day with a wonky knee.

So now I am working on my knee and my upper body and I am putting the ‘incorporate pushups’ part of the plan off for another week until my knee is less weird.

5 Extra Minutes of Movement

I have been doing pretty good with this one. I added 5 minutes of deliberate extra movement four out of seven days this week.

My knee is playing a role here but in two of those four days I chose extra seated movement so clearly it wasn’t the only factor on those other three days.

Maybe I need to say I will get 5 extra minutes of seated movement during the next week and see if that shift opens any mental doors to moving daily.

Next Steps

Since this is my last Tuesday post in January, this is technically my last Planuary post.

However, like the post title says, Planuary is a state of mind.

I want to keep this reflective, curious approach going throughout the year so I am figuring out what that practice might look like.

Last year, I decided that I didn’t really want to plan anything for the whole year, I just wanted to take it month by month and I’m sticking with that idea for 2025.

But I do want to keep checking in with myself and revisiting my ideas/plans/practices in a more structured but still Christine-friendly way.

So, I am starting with these questions:

How and when will I decided what is important for a given month?

How will I keep those things top of mind?

How will I record/reflect/track the details and feelings involved?

When and how will I write about them?
