Time again for another Perfect 10 Update. I can’t believe there are only two weeks left to this challenge! Wow, time sure does fly. Here were my Perfect 10 Goals and how I faired on each of them this week:
- Walk 100 miles over the course of the 10 weeks. This will help keep me on track to reach 500 for the year.
- Continue the C25K program, doing it at least 3 days per week until completed.
- Start riding my bike. No time or distance restraints for this. This one is purely just to get over my fear and DO it…at least once and I’ll be happy
- Not drink ANY soda. This is also a goal for the year.
- Participate in (3) 5k races. This will help keep me on track to do 12 for the year.
- Start a garden.
- Go to bed by 11:00 on work nights, but preferably 10:00.
- Sign up for Karate (or another martial art if Karate isn’t available)
- Go to the gym at least 3 times per week.
- Stay within my budget every month (using YNAB) This is a yearly goal as well.
- Read the Bible each day using this plan. Another yearly goal.
I walked and/or jogged 6.5 miles this week bringing my total for the year to 66.85 miles.
This means I need to walk another 33 miles over the next two weeks since I let myself get a little behind. I can do this.
I am happy to report that I am now working on
Week 3, day 1.
I’m very thrilled with the progress I’ve made in this. Getting below a 16 minute mile, and then 15 was a major accomplishment for me and now it’s become a real game for me to do a quicker mile each time I try. The night before last I completed a mile in just over 14 minutes. I’m amazed at how quickly my endurance has improved in such a short time since I’ve started jogging.
Success! See this post.
So far so good! It’s been 151 days since I’ve had ANY soda.
I did the Calusa Bug Chase 5K and the Walk for Wishes already.
I need to do one more. I was planning on doing the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure, but can’t because my daughter will be in another parade that day. (I’m sad I have to wait another year to participate, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles 
) So, I signed up for the Hope, Love, and Faith 5K for MS, which will take place on March 6. Technically, that’s one day after the Perfect 10 challenge ends, but close enough for me!
I still haven’t started yet, but I do have a plan!
I really, really need to get this started…SOON.
3 out of 5 nights.
I had to put this on hold for a little while due to finances and time restraints.
I only went once this week, not for lack of motivation, but just had an incredibly busy week with lots of stuff scheduled.
I am doing very well here.
I’m still am behind, but slowly catching up.
The other part of this challenge is to post something that others may not have known about me. I was once on the Sally Jesse Raphael show. 
Crazy, huh? It was for family drama I’d rather not go into. I was 18 at the time and it was my first and only time ever to New York. We were so rushed though that we didn’t get to sightsee at all, so going back to NYC and experiencing all it has to offer has always been a dream of mine (and of course, without the family drama )
Those of you on my facebook may have seen this last night, but I was/am super stoked, so it bears repeating here. Lookie what I can do now!
66.85 miles walked/jogged/ran since January 1st. (2010 Goal: 500)
13.9 miles biked since January 1st. (2010 Goal: 300)
(2) 5K finished since January 1st. (2010 Goal: 12)

Another good week! I saw your pic on FB and smiled yesterday. So many NSV’s! May your next trip to NYC be full of fun adventures! You are rocking your goals Josie! Good job!
great job!
You are kicking ass. But you’d better get that garden going. My one is going great!
Awesome! I can’t wait to hear about your martial arts adventures when they start.
Great progress this week! You can easily hit 33 miles in 2 weeks!!! And the only thing I remember about Sally Jesse is that I loved her glasses (when she had those big red frames)…I was never really allowed to watch her show, but we would sneak it onto the TV while Mom was in the garden during the summer…
Josie you are doing a wonderful job with your goals.
I thought I was the only one who did that to their wrist??? My fingers don’t meet up yet, but they will.
I changed my Facebook and couldn’t find you again…glad you posted the link to your page. I am Kay Phoenix now.
Hurray to you for doing so well!!!
I love that you are doing an MS walk…just like the one you inspired me to do! Mine isn’t until April though…maybe there will be another challenge???
Great job this week! Love the interesting fact (why do I add that every time?). Looks like i’ll have to do 2 interesting facts, since I miss last week’s, too, huh?
Keep up the amazing work!
GO JOSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is pretty awesome Josie! This is something I have also only recently been able to do, but it sure feels good!
Great job, Josie! Good luck meeting your walking goal for the ten weeks — I know you can do it!
You are doing great!
Josie, you are ROCKING!!! Been a while since I commented here, and can I just once again say what a TOTAL inspiration you are! Good luck for the last stretch of the challenge – though I know you’re in it for life.
