Here’s my bingo board! I think I want strength type goals on the two blank spots, but I haven’t decided what yet (I’m not sure I’m going to be able to get any heavier weights, so would have to be time/ reps which feel less fun…

Edited to actually attach the board…

At least 2 of you have posted goals related to “spinning” and I’m squinting at each of you separately trying to decide whether you mean the kind where you create yarn or the kind where you are on a bicycle.

2021 Bingo

Here’s mine! A lot of the goals have to do with rebuilding my social network once things get better, but there are also short term goals that I can knock out in a couple months!

My goals are much more modest than last year’s:

Column B: learn & grow. CS50x is the computer course through Harvard that I started in October this past year. It’s definitely challenging me. Computers have changed a lot since my last CS course in the mid '80’s.

Column I: Fun. I had a hard time coming up with items for this column. Random fun thing is for something that I really, really enjoyed.

Column N: Miscellaneous stuff. One is an extra downsize goal. Two are things I didn’t do this year because I minimized my time in stores. Shoes: Hiking shoes, slippers (holes in the bottom of the current pair!), casual close-toed shoes that are not hiking shoes preferably black. I stole the idea for the free space from @MagnoliaKnight.

Column N: Downsizing goals, culminating in selling the house. I plan to do the first four on my own but paying someone else to do them counts.

Column O: Self-care tasks that should have been done in 2020 but weren’t. Well, except get vaccinated, that wasn’t an option. I did get a flu shot last year. I guess I should specify this is goal is for the Covid vaccine though I bet everybody already knew that.

I did that course a little after I started my job, and found it really good! Hope you enjoy it :blush:
