Vannie's October Goals
My favorite month!
I still really need to work on getting enough sleep, eating more healthy foods and better time management
EFFECTIVE 10/15 all times move to half hour later except junk food cutoff
Goals:
1. Get up by 6:30 on weekdays
2. Bedtime at 10:30 every night (this is dependent on the Twins post-season run!)
3. No internet/YouTube/Pinterest after 9:30 PM (I think this goal seems even harder than going to bed on time!)
4. No junk food after 9:30 PM
5. Overhead lights and TV off at 10:00 PM (TV again dependent on post-season)
6. Train Cyric at least 5 days/week
7. 4 miles daily with Cyric (walking or running)
8. Socialize Cyric at least 3 days/week
9. Housework for at least 20 minutes every weekday
10. Run 2 days a week
11. Strength training 3 days/week
12. PT/glute activation 2 days/week
13. Foam roller or ball massage 2 days/week
14. Stretch daily
15. Daily meditation and gratitude
16. Daily ODB and prayer journal
Extra credit:
1. 7 hours of sleep (10 pts)
2. 20000 steps
3. New workout done

Wed 10/16---7 minutes obedience training-- this is the first training session without Chianna and I missed her so much, it was hard for me. She loved these sessions, probably mostly for the treats, but she was so focused on me and doing what I said. She was so eager. At the end of sessions I usually toss treats for them to catch and they were both so cute waiting, watching and trying to catch. She didn't get up much for them in the past few months, just tried to catch them while sitting. So sweet. Cyric leaps for them.
Thankfully he is also very eager and trips over himself trying to figure out what I want. He knows the commands but he gets so excited to train that he just tries to almost guess what I'll say. I wish I had been more diligent about doing this, for both their sakes. So the lesson is, don't beat myself up, try to move forward and make things better for Cyric.
Thu 10/24--8 minutes obedience training--He cracks me up, sooo excited! I finally remembered to work on the look command. Definitely rusty. Why do I put off smthg that's so good for him and takes less than 10 minutes at a time??
Mon 10/28--9 minutes obedience training--worked on place-stay while I opened the front door and pretended to greet someone as well as the look command (plus the usual stuff)
