It is a New Year

Even though we are almost a full month into the New Year, I want to document my 3 main goals for the year.

1. Finish passing the CPA Exam.
2. Lose 100 pounds.
3. Get rid of 1/4 of debt.

I have already drug out the CPA stuff way too long, so I am not even going to schedule my test date until I am "ready". Instead of my past method of scheduling and then aiming to be ready by that date. Hopefully, the new method will prove to be more successful. I have not been doing a good job so far of studying, so I MUST buckle down.

Second, I need to lose weight. According to the BMI charts I need to lose 100 pounds. I will be thrilled with 40-50 lbs but I am hoping that I will just keep losing. So in order to accomplish this, I am going to CrossFit Montgomery and following a modified Paleo diet. Daily I eat between 1100 and 1300 calories. I am about to "graduate" from the CrossFit Introduction classes so I think the intensity will be bumped up starting next week once I am in the real classes. I am nervous but it will be good.

Finally, I am trying to get rid of 1/4 of my debt. It is interesting to me how people think that I have no financial responsibilities as a single person who lives with my mother. It is true that I do not have a mortgage or utility bills, but I do have debt from what we will call the disaster from my youth. :-) Also known as owning a business. But I am trying not to beat myself up more than once every few hours over this...so I just keep telling myself that I have a plan and it will be over in 4 years. One month down, 47 more to go! I am also trying to become a trunk keeper for Matilda Jane and/or Swanky Baby Vintage so that I can earn some extra pennies to pay it down faster. We shall see!

So that is the plan! This year is going to be good. Especially with Annie and Jack!
