Goal: De-Clutter
Not so bad this week. Again, I didn't go through my GWTW plates- but I certainly didn't add to my clutter. I was in Wal-Mart buying things for work and I saw a coupon someone left for a huge amount of razors. I don't usually consider them clutter- but when I already have enough razors, and the price wasn't thaaat good- I knew if I bought them they would just be clutter under the sink. I also packed up a package for my sister of clutter that I think she will enjoy, and I don't want. Some religion textbooks from the one religion class I took in grad school- some jewelry that was really hers to begin with- and some tshirts that I don't want to wear anymore, and a nice wooden box that she gave me as a Christmas present back in 2003.
Goal for next week: Skip the GWTW plates- we signed the lease this morning for our new place. We will have 300 more sq. ft- and 4 more closets than we have right now. We have 3 closets right now- and one of them is the old coat closet/GWTW home. I am so excited to have more space for our belongings. I will no longer have my collection shoved into a small closet. I will be able to go through the collection and put it on display. This is not a reason to have clutter- but when things have a home we will be less likely to have clutter everywhere in view. So, for the next three weeks- I will be packing. I would like to cut back on the number of books I have. Not sure how to write this as an attainable goal. Maybe get rid of at least 10 books.
Goal: Lose Weight
Hey!! I started my Couch to 5k training program!!! I enjoyed it! I did not burn as many calories as going to Curves- but at Curves I am not getting enough cardio. I'm also very bored with it. I am going to cancel my membership come July- it will also not be on the ride home to the new place. We are contemplating a membership to the community center near us- or just be more active! Jeff even mentioned getting BIKES?!? We'll see. But, I am going to give this a good 9-week try. So, for my fellow COA members, what about this race?

Of course- as a facebook friend posted, we could do the Elvis 5k but we'd have to go to Elvis Week. If I didn't just drag you both to Memphis last year, I'd suggest it. But then that goes against our savings goal too. :)
Also, I've done some more research into a certain medication I am on right now. Luckily it is not one for the Crohns, or I would have no choice but taking it. But- a lot of web forums are talking about how weight gain is a definite side effect. Without going into too much detail on this blog- this could quite possibly be a reason for not losing weight. So, I made an appointment with my doctor to discuss alternatives.
Goal for next week: Complete week 1 of couch to 5k. Go to Curves at least once and cancel membership (or put on hiatus) for July.
Goal: Debt
Jeff and I sat down and really mapped out a budget. One that could actually give us an emergency fund and get us out of debt! We know that moving will cost us more money- so we are being a bit flexible with our budget right now- but for our personal spending and food/drink we are sticking to it.
Our new place is also going to be within our budget, in a big way, and we are excited.
Goal for next week: Don't eat out until the weekend.
Goal: Career
I failed on that one this week.
This week starts a lot of my summer programs- so I'll be outside a lot. That's all I really have to say about this goal.
Goal for next week: Bring up this goal with the COA next weekend at coffee.
