Today is the 235th day of 2026.
That sounds like a lot of time—and it is. In 235 days, you could have:
- Walked more than 700 miles at just three miles per day
- Read 33 books at one book per week
- Learned the basics of a new language
- Made 235 home-cooked dinners
- Driven across the United States and back several times
- Watched the entire Yellowstone series…and still had roughly 230 days left
If some of the goals you made in January haven’t exactly gone according to plan, don’t worry. There are still 130 days left in the year—that’s more than 18 weeks!
In that amount of time, you could realistically:
- Lose around 10–20 pounds at a steady, sustainable pace
- Complete more than 50 workouts at three per week
- Walk nearly 400 miles at three miles per day
- Train for and complete your first 5K
- Noticeably improve your strength, flexibility and endurance
- Establish healthier eating and sleeping habits
- Finally address that nagging pain you’ve been hoping would disappear on its own
To put 130 days into perspective, that’s enough time to walk from Phoenix to San Diego, read the entire Bible, grow several vegetables from seed to harvest, or drive around the Earth more than twice—assuming oceans, traffic and bathroom breaks weren’t an issue.
The year may be more than halfway over, but there is still plenty of time to make a meaningful change. You don’t need to completely transform your life overnight. Just decide where you’d like to be by New Year’s Eve and take one small step in that direction today.
And if your back doesn’t appreciate all this sudden motivation, you know where to find us!
Have a great afternoon,
Joy, Jen, Kim, Kathy, Coloradas, Maxfield, Dr Shriner and Dr Ring
