What goals do I have for 2025? I'll write down a list of what I want to do, and see how I get on at the end of the next year.
I'm going to try to mostly do the things that I've done this year, but improve on it, and try make valuable progress in all endeavours. Also, these start out as more important things that I want to accomplish, and get less and less important (to me) as well go down.
1. Go to the gym or work out 100 times, or try to get to 15% body fat
(eyeballing it), or complete 1,200 sets of exercise in the year.
