Half Way Point

Its January 16th and I'm half way through the month and I just wanted to check in with myself and see how I am doing...

*Health-162-158.2 (-3.8 pounds)

-The no pop thing flew out the window on like day two but I am sticking to diet for the most part...

-Exercising is going really well I am keeping up with the working out at least three times a week thing so YAY ME!!!

*Finances

-I am following the 31 Days to fix your finances religiously and loving every minute of it...

-I have opened up two separate high yielding savings accounts to help me get even further...

-I have made my long and short term goals

*Minimalist Living

-Finally got one of my books so I am starting to dig into that at the moment

-Gone through all my clothing for my first initial clear out

-Starting to go through my scrapbooking supplies as well

-Still need to go through everything and see if I can make outfits out of everything

*Bible Study

-I have done a bible study once every week so far... Planning on doing this weeks on Wednesday...

So all in all these past 15 days have been amazing and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Resolution #3

My third resolution is probably the same as everyone else. I want to become a healthy person and loose 15 pounds by the 1st of next year. If I loose more its just gonna be a bonus. But the goal is to be healthy not skinny. So for the first month my goals are simple. No pop that isn't diet and work out three times a week for 30 minutes each. I am hoping to hop on the Tread tonight to start things off.

Then in Feb I am hoping to start the Insanity Workout for 90 Days so that takes me to May and when I get there I will come up with more. Plus every week in Feb I am going to try a new meal and see if Its good enough to combine into a weekly meal rotation.

Resolution #2 & My 5 Core Values

So for my second resolution this year I decided that I would once and for all get my finances in order. No more guessing what I have and spending wildly on anything and everything I think I need. I ordered some books through Amazon today to help get me started as well as following the Simple Dollar Blog I found and love. I can't wait for the day when I can say I have zero debt!

As for my first steps in going through this process I have started the 31 days to fix your finances. Day one was all about your five main values and I just wanted to share mine on here

1.Freedom/Independence

2. Fulfillment

3. Growth

4. Spirituality

5. Health
