January 2025

We’re one month into 2025 and today’s recap is a step towards two things for me: sharing more frequently about myself and my personal aspirations, and building a network of support for the goals that I can’t achieve by myself.
2025 Solo Goals Progress
-         Weight Loss: 12 lbs down. (213lbs on Dec 31st 2024 to 201lbs today, Jan 31st 2025)
o  Target goal of 180lbs would land me at 16.7% body fat at the start of April.
-         Release my 2nd novel Eternal Dreams. I hit a snag with my most recent editor as we weren’t the best fit. I am starting again in the middle of February with the *last* line edit & proofread. (I also just received the first hardcover copy of Lost Souls today!)
-         Donating my hair to the charity Wigs For Kids will be complete in the first third of the year.
-         Launch my business and LLC! Team Skeff, LLC and RyanSkeffington.com is in the works and hopefully will be set up by the end of February.

2025 Team Skeff Goals/Where I Need Support
-         I am raising money for Folds of Honor, a charity that provides scholarships to the children of fallen veterans and first responders. Education was a core foundation in my upbringing and I hope to pass along the opportunities that were given to me. My goal is to raise $13,000 for the organization by running the OKC Memorial half marathon. 13 Folds. 13 Miles. $13,000.
-         Learn more about Oklahoma. I am many years from it, but I plan to enter the arena of public service. I feel that developing my understanding of Oklahoma, its people, places, and history will be a vital path for our success.
-         Stretch goal: Lay the ground work to build a mixed-use high rise in downtown Oklahoma City near Scissortail Park. I’m looking to live somewhere cool.
I plan to post a monthly update here on LinkedIn, in addition to more writing on my website. If you have any thoughts, opinions, or avenues of support for our goals I’m all ears!
Thanks for checking in and see you at the end of February.
