Perfect 10: Week 2

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...).

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!
