Grinding Cash on ACR

Hey guys,
A little info about myself first. I'm 29 years old with two kids 5 and 7 and a great wife. I have a good job so poker isn't required for income. I've been playing poker on and off for 7 years. I took it somewhat seriously a year or two ago and tried to play MTT's. It was too swingy and I didnt follow through. I'd like to keep up in this post on some life and poker goals I have because I really do love the game.
GOALS:
1. Play 15k hands starting at 10nl and only move to the next level if after that I have 30 BI's for that level.
2. Post in this thread after every session with pic's of graphs and interesting hand histories.
3. Work on my mental game for poker and for life.( Meditation everyday and mental study for poker).
4. Study poker on average 3 hours a week. ( I have an ivey league subscription)
5. Go to the gym 4-5x a week and dial my diet in.
6. I would like to earn enough money in the next two years to pay off my cars. ( about $15,000).
I'll be playing mostly 6 max on ACR and will include rakeback. I appreciate as much feedback as possible on anything that will improve my game.
My starting BR was $448.46
Here are graphs from the first two sessions.
I ran really good today to say the least.

Meditation done for the day. Going to take my son to school this morning then hitting the gym.
here are a few spots from last night.
I think I should be just calling the river and I know I felt that at the time too. I don't know if I'm missing out on value when I just call though. Is that too thin of a raise?
This hand is another interesting spot because I have a note on this player that he opened K5o on the button so his range is wide enough here that he could definitely have a five and some boats. My biggest leak I would say is not being able to get away some hands on the river. I know I felt like I should be folding here in the moment but I'm not sure the math supports that.
Next hand was from the earlier session
Felt like I might of just been clicking buttons here. There aren't too many draws he has here and all there value hands I'm drawing too 6 outs.
