Doing step challenges and tracking steps keeps me walking. I try for 10k steps a day and use Samsung Health’s monthly challenge on my phone as gamification to keep walking daily.

I use mealie exactly as your use case describes. We meal plan each week using the recipes I have saved in it and then create a shopping list of those items added to the meal plan. It works great and with docker has been easy to maintain. I used to use Nextcloud Cookbook but I like the UI of mealie better.
