Not much to write today. Last weekend and this one I've been taking it easy, so nothing exciting to report. Last week I made sleep a priority, after realizing (with the help of my FitBit) that I was getting an average of less than seven hours a night. I know myself, and eight a night would have me at my best. This has also been an opportunity to practice setting reasonable goals, as opposed to 'perfect' goals. At a gut level, I want to set my goal at eight hours a night. However, I'm thinking back to some advice a health coach gave me once: don't set goals to be perfect; set them to improve. Although it feels antithetical to me, I set my goal at seven hours a night. And in my first week, I achieved that goal five times out of seven. Woot! I'm going to continue with this as my goal until I get seven nights in a row. I'm not sure what the next goal will be, but I'll try to make it a baby step further... maybe two weeks with seven hours a night.
Other news: three weekends ago, I went on a nice trip to Kirirom with Jacques and two girlfriends and another dog. We had a nice 3-day weekend of the outdoors: drinking wine by the river, hiking, horseback riding, and fresh air. Also, I recently booked myself a special trip in late November, a two-week photography tour of Laos.
With that, here are a few fun photos from recent exploits:
