[Aaron Arzaga]

Pardon me for being a little tardy to the party (I’m sure you are all shocked)! My main personal goal for 2024 is to continue along my health journey that began (on a more serious note) last year. Down approximately 35’ish pounds, and a slew of inches… I hope to keep up the weight training (4-5 times per week) and add some more cardio (hope to get to 4 times per week… we shall see). And, yes, still drinking eggwhites w/ chocolate Nesquick powder every morning (2 cups and 2 spoons).
On a professional level, I hope to successfully lead our next phase of AMI Dashboards that will be completed. It will be a good challenge considering everything else that is already on the plate.

Hoping it’s a great year for everyone!

Hello UAI Members,

Happy New Year! It’s officially 2024 and I cannot wait to kick off another amazing year with you all. I’m also hoping everyone took some much deserved time to rest/recover and I look forward to hearing your holiday stories over the coming weeks.

I’ve been thinking for awhile how I would like to start our #WisdomWednesday thread for 2024. Rather than sharing a quote, I thought we could use today’s thread to list out one goal we wish to achieve this year (either personal or professional). The experts always say writing down your goals will help solidify them but today I want to take it one step forward and have you share with your UAI peers! I’ll share two of my goals to get us started. On a professional level I have several new ideas/initiatives I plan to launch right here on UAI Connect (stay tuned). On a personal level, I hope to overcome a (growing) fear of heights.
