Progress On New Years Resolutions

Ok. Here is what is going on in the world of Resolutions.

1. Save Money.
I wil admit, I'm not doing to good on this front. Since I wrote my resolutions, I have had to buy a new keyboard for my computer, my monitor is going out, my VOIP phone box died and I had to replace that. It's like one thing after another. Will it ever stop?

2. Get Out Of Debt.
It's hard to get out of debt when you are constantly replacing things that are breaking.

3. Lose Weight.
Well, I'm trying. I'm looking for some sort of Diet Plan, Group, Program or something to join. I am one of those people who need comraderie and support when it comes to something like losing weight.

4. End PackRat Syndrome.
Believe it or not, I'm still unpacking from my move on December 19th. I am actively working on throwing stuff out or packing stuff (like old yearbooks) that I really don't want to get rid of, but I don't need in my small condo.

5. Get Healthy
I got my stitches out on Monday from my knee surgery on December 29th. Yesterday I went to the Dentist. Today I spent about 3 hours doing research online, making phone calls, sending faxes and stuff towards this goal. I sent off for all of my medical records and MRI Reports. I found a new neurosurgeon and have written my letter to accompany my medical records when I call to request a new patient appointment. I am determined to find a new doctor and get off of all these drugs.

6. TV Doesn't Count.
Well, I haven't made it to church yet, but it is still on the list of things to do SOON.

7. Catch Up.
I've been staying up late trying to get my new place in order and staying at work late to try to get ahead on my tasks. I'm hoping to take a few days of vacation soon. I need to spend at least one day calling insurance and bills and get that stuff in order (see # 2).

8. School.
As much as I love school, and as much as I was warned this would happen. I have pretty much decided that I am not going to go back until I find another job and get my health and finances in order. I just about killed myself trying to work full time and go to school full time. I need to get some things in my life in order so that I can work part time and go to school and not have to burn the candle at both ends. With my current health situation, a double-sided burning is not what the doctor ordered.

I'll keep you updated on my progress. How are you doing on yours?

I want to get out of debt this year. Or a little more closer to it.
Someone said to do it monthly-I love that idea. To take it one month at a time.....that's more do-able for me anyways.

Good luck with yours!

I wish you nothing but the best in 2006. You certainly deserve it :-)
