Living well in 2025 by planning a healthy & active lifestyle

The last few days of 2024 are upon us. I’ve been for a 45 minute walk and have planned another run for the last day of the year. During 2024 I decided to close the Women Living Well After 50 Facebook Group but did start a smaller group the WLWA50 Daily Exercise Challenge Group.

It’s an intimate group and the aim of the group is to inspire and motivate each other to do at least 30 minutes of some form of exercise each day. We then check in with what we have. There is no judgement, just encouragement, and it is a relaxed group. There are many groups out there if you want a more indepth ‘coaching’ style. For me, I wanted the group as much for myself as the other members. It helps me to stay on track and have some type of accountability without pressure.

Going into 2025, I will be sharing more health and wellness tips as well as healthy recipes for us all to try. I’ll also be encouraging members to do the same.

The ladies in the group are lovely and I’ve learned from them as much as I hope they have learned from me. If you would like to join we would love to have you. Just click on the link WLWA50 – Daily Exercise Challenge

Living well in 2025 by planning a healthy & active lifestyle

Do you like to plan? Do you put your workouts in your calendar or do you just do what you feel like on any given day?

Planning works for me. I’m a list girl and like to tick things off the box when they are completed. I also find that planning keeps me motivated to do things. I don’t have to think about it as I’ve already planned what I’m going to do.

Of course, life can have a habit of getting in the way but having a plan helps me get back on track.

For 2025, I have purchased a diary to log my workouts and other health related activities to keep me on track. I’m treating it like a health journal not only for workouts but to note recipes I might like to try and health appointments I need to make.

I will also include how much water I drink, how I’m feeling mentally and other things I might think of as the year progresses. It will be my health bible as it will contain the dates that I’ve had screening tests and blood tests done and when they are next due.

Share your tip for organizing your health and wellbeing I’m always happy to hear what others are doing to stay active and healthy.

WOTY 2025 a special Link Up to start the year

My WOTY is usually based around all aspects of my life and that includes my health and wellbeing. I will be revealing my #WOTY2025 next Monday 6th January along with some other blogging friends. It will be on my Women Living Well After 50 Website.

If you’re into writing a word of the year post in the new year, I will be co-hosting a linkup with some blogger friends on Monday 6 January. You are welcome to join in with us by adding a link to your post (WOTY specific) and appreciating what words others have chosen and why. It’s always a fun way to start the year, looking for a word to focus on. Hope you can join in. Thanks to Denyse Whelan for approaching us with the idea and the graphic.

Happy New Year and I’m looking forward to staying active and healthy with you all in 2025.
