Okay, folks. I have an update for you again finally. A few things are falling into place for me at last. I am a month into making this challenge for Usborne, I am going to start losing weight, I am 2 months away from paying off my biggest bill and things are starting to look up again.
So first of all let's talk about this challenge I mentioned. Usborne has given us a 4 month challenge and anybody that completes the challenge gets a FREE iPad 2. I completed the goal for February. March, April and May are going to be a little bit more difficult as well this month I have one booth booked. I do have 2 hopeful booths for next month but I have nothing for May yet. I am struggling but I am determined to meet this goal. Anybody that made the February goal gets some sort of upgrade and since the iPad 3 has been announced it is a possibility that is what it will be but we haven't been told yet.
Next, the Neeley clan has started a weight loss challenge called "Game On" and I am joining up. You have to choose a diet plan, drink so much water a day, work out so long every day and some other things. I decided for my diet plan I am doing a low-carb diet and try for 1500 calories per day. I also want to try for 75 grams of protein a day as well, but I am not as concerned with the protein. The calorie and protein numbers are the amount I should have daily for maximum weight loss. I also will be getting some samples of a weight loss shake and pill in the mail so I will be trying those as well. The challenge is 6 weeks long and since I want to be back down in my size 4 and 6's for summer this is the perfect time for this to happen.
Ah, the debt! That's right folks First Financial will be paid off in May and I can't wait. After that I will pay off the J C Penney bill in June. Everything I threw at those two will then be thrown at the Dell. I should be out of debt by the end of the year. I was hoping to say by summer but that won't happen since I threw all my tax refund at obtaining inventory for Usborne. Oh well. From now on anything I get from Usborne will be saved and used to throw at these bill as well. I am hoping to have a few hundred dollars this month to pay off the J C Penney this month. That would be nice. If I can get the sales next month and in May I will be throwing a few hundred at Dell as well so maybe the end of summer is a good time period. LOL!!! Every time I talk about this situation it changes but with gas prices at $3.80 I am throwing more at gas than saving it. Not fun!
In other news, my friend Ben is coming home next month and I am super excited about that. It feels like years since I've seen him. In all reality it has been about a year and a half. And I saw him twice that year. Also, I am finally able to get a real phone. I don't really want to be stuck with said phone for 2 years, as it is Verizon, but you have to do what you have to do. Hmmm...what else do I have to tell you all about? I think that may be all for now. I will keep you updated on the challenges and the debt situation as they go on.
