2011 Statistics

It's time for my yearly accounting to myself. I've always been a list maker and a record keeper, because keeping track of some of the little things I do helps me to see if what I'm doing adds up to anything worthwhile. Sometimes it shows me if I need to expend a little more effort. Other times, it shows me how things fluctuate from year to year. Here are some of my statistics for 2011.

Pounds of paper recycled: 150

Pounds of cardboard recycled: 20+

Pounds of plastic recycled: 20

Number of plastic containers recycled: 372 (I guess I use a lot of plastic!)

Number of steps walked: 5,102,785

Number of miles walked: 2010.91 (Down from last year, so I need to step it up -- get it.)

Number of books read: 33 (double last year)

Number of pages read from books: 8,593

Number of magazines read: 33+ (I neglected to writ a few down, oops.)

Number of pages read from magazines: 2,183+

None of this counts web pages, newsletters, Primary lessons, or hundreds of articles from historical New York Times between 1900 and 1930!

I did better on somethings and worse of others. I plan to add to the steps, books, and magazine totals in 2012.
