Living on the Edge

This week was full of it's ups and downs. I found my Fitbit last Sunday, we finished organizing our apartment, and we realized we needed to survive basically 2 weeks without any extra cash. It was pretty rough, but as an American I obviously just used my credit card whenever I wanted something I couldn't afford.

Thinking Frugal

The funny thing about changing your life, is that life doesn't stop just because you want it to work out perfectly. I spoke to my sister about this today, and while I'm pretty frugal, I still am tempted every day to spend money.

I have a few financial goals I would like to accomplish this year: pay off my car, pay down my credit card debit, and save more money towards getting a house.

These things are constantly on my mind. It would be great to live in a reality that my paycheck was enough money to pay for every day life and enjoy some much needed extravagance. I want to go drinking, enjoy concerts and other such things, but piles of debt minimizes those possibilities. Here's a few helpful tips I plan to do this year to save money.

My Plan

So as I said before, this is more about my life journey than about loosing weight, but obviously getting healthy is important to me. Let's talk about how I plan to do that:

Basic Goals

1. Loose the weight: 

I check it, at my worst (two weeks ago) I was 66 pounds overweight. So I am trying to change that. Today I woke up and checked my weight. I will weigh myself every Saturday. I know ultimately the less weight I'm caring, the easier the rest of the goals will be. This week I lost 7 of those pounds. 59 to go!
