The Big Goal this year is to substantially increase physical fitness of my family. We're overweight, and not terribly fit. We know that's going to have medical issues coming down the tubes for us if we keep that up. I've already had some very unpleasant episodes related to straight out physical weakness. So... we're sweating it out at the gym this year.

Um.

What else. Got a used cheap single speed bike to bang around downtown, cafes, etc. The cheap helps for when it gets stolen. Nice bike though. Hoping I keep it a while.

Congrats! It's not an easy thing to get exercise into your life on anything like a regular basis. I was only able to finally do it by finding things I love enough that I don't have to force myself there (in my case, swimming and dance) otherwise I just...wandered off after a while. It really helps that you are not trying to do it alone, all the best wishes to you!

It's going to be a huge push.

I actually do considerably better when it's just me. Coordinating with others at the gym usually limits options substantially and I often operate in a perma-whim mode at home, so...

but this aligns everyone in the house on the same track, so it should help in toto.
