Here are my goals for the Perfect 10:
- Walk 12 miles a week (done)
- Do front (2x60) and side (1x30/side) planks 3 days a week. (done)
- Keep on our budget. (done)
- Hit and exceed my initial weight loss goal (and start a new one) (on pace...)
- Read 4 books (almost done with one)
- Only use my horn for avoiding traffic collisions. (success!)
- Cook dinner at home 4 times a week (done)
- Go on 3 hikes (none yet, but there's still time)
My interesting tidbit:
I'm very impulsive. It used to be really bad. Years ago, I made a coffee table with a "zen" rock garden in it. I bought some white sand to put in it and wanted to get some really dark, almost black, rocks to complete the set-up. My mom said that there were some nice rocks, just like the ones I was looking for, out on Mora Beach. It's out on the Olympic Penninsula, about 4 hours away. I really wanted those rocks. And needed them ASAP, so I called my brother and a good friend and asked if they wanted to go camping. They said yes, but I didn't have any camping gear. 2 tents, a stove, a cooler, 2 lanterns and $300 later, we were on the road. We drove to the campground that night, camped out, got the rocks, and came home the next day. I essentially bought $300 dark grey/black rocks to go into my coffee table. Yeah. That's impulsive! But Anna's really tamed me--she's actually helped me learn how to think before acting (most of the time...). And I love her for that.
Another day, another step toward hitting my goal on my treadmill. I made 2.41 miles. Wow. Intense, and challenging. Maybe I can get it done by the end of January. Good goal. Good progress. Oh, and I walked 7.75 miles (plus 0.25 miles earlier) on the way home from dinner tonight in 1:52!

Look at all that green! And yeah, I would say that is pretty impulsive. I can be that way too.

How long does it take you to walk the 8 miles? Are you on a treadmill? What's your speed? I need to know these things!

Hey Ehren, I walked outside this time, and it took me just under 2 hours. So an average of 4.1 mph.
On the treadmill, I can maintain a much faster rate (you know, wihtout all the sang stoplights and everything...).

You have stoplights that sing to you?? =)

I think you're doing great getting to your goals and I really like the way you've color coded them! Green is for go, go, go!

That's funny about the $300 rocks! Ah, those were the days, huh? I have impulsive tendencies too, so I can relate to this one.
Congrats on what looks like a great week at your goals!
