Last week, I wrote about trying to apply SLAs (Service Level Agreements - aka, business/consulting term for goals) to my life. On a weekly basis, I'd like to provide some updates....here's for the week ended January 31, 2009:
1) Redefine my body
Goal - exercise 3 times a week
Actual - I worked out 3 times.....Went for a 3 mile run on Tuesday, 45 minutes on the ellitical on Wednesday, and did my first HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) session on treadmill on Friday.
Goal Accomplished
2) Redefine my mind
Goal - Read 2 books a month
Actual - I finished my 4th book of the month this week, and it was incredible. Book reviews to come shortly!
Goal Accomplished
3) Expand my horizons
Goal - Take at least 1 trip abroad a year
Actual - Well, I booked a trip to Maui, but that doesn't really count since Hawaii is part of the United States. I started researching South America, and am seriously considering spending 6 weeks backpacking my way around South America before I start grad school this fall.
Progress Made
4) Learn to Relax
Goal - Meditate once every two weeks
Actual - I didn't get a chance to meditate...and since I haven't meditated in maybe 10 years, I actually grab some "guided meditation" MP3s off the net. I plan on using them this week, just need to do it.
Not accomplished.
Overall, not a bad start to my quest for a new me. Accomplished 2 of my weekly goals, slacked on 1, and made some progress on the 4th.
Of course, now that I'm starting to think about goals, I seriously want to add 2 more....better a better photographer, and relearn Spanish. but I'm not going to hold myself to metrics on them...I have too much else on my plate right now
