April 2007 Goals

[frugalwanttobe]

~Get rid of at least 25 things. (The cellar looks like a flea market. The rest of my house is neat. People could stop by anytime and I would not feel uncomfortable. Now the cellar is a different story.)

~Pay off at least 1/2 of a cc balance
~Drink 4-5 glasses of water per day.
~Buy vitamins and take them every day.
~Pay off daughter's camp.
~Pay a portion of a doctor's bill.
~Try and keep pantry stocked so I don't have to do a huge shopping order.
~I need to get us on a budget.
~Try a new recipe.

I guess that is it.

I have been so off kilter with my goals since the beginning of the year. Now that I'm starting to feel a little better I can't continue to hide behind being exhausted. (Side effect of a chronic illness). I watch some of you plug on through your own illness and know myself well enough to know that it's time to hold myself accountable. So I say to myself "Self, you've rested enough ..... now let's get on with it!"

Here are my revised and updated goals. My first set were so vague that they weren't very motivating.

Goals were:

pay off 500$ to my dad
lose 5 lbs.
not eat out as much
drink water
exercise
love myself more.

Goals are:

1. Keep Groceries under 400$.
2. Eat out as little as possible.
3. Work out more. (I've been doing this!)
4. Lose 5 lbs. (Went from 117.4 to 116.8 this morning. Every bit counts!)
5. Reduce by 500$. (Mailed a 170$ car payment.)
6. Get an A in my class. (At last check, I had a 98%)
7. Add 100$ to my emergency fund.
8. Add 200$ to our money market.
9. Pamper myself.

And that's all. PHEW!
