Lemon_Tree

hi can you add me to the list?
I'm going to try and keep mine realistic as i can always build on them
1 loose 20lb
2 go to the gym at least once
3 get this place in some sort of order
4 finish making cushion covers and recovering the sofas - one done one to go.

Perfect challenge Dragon! I was thinking earlier i needed a kick up the arris to get my life in order and June is the month its all going to start!
So, my list is:

Debt: really focus on getting rid of this last cc and then start on the the last wee bit of the student loan i have. I really want to be clear of this debt this year!
Must ebay as much as I can and stop being so lazy about it!

Health:stick to diet 100% for 30 days. Go walking 6/7 days a week and use the wii fit for 20 minutes every other day

Life: be more organized and tidy!

so not much really

hi all .. well i am night shift but have been thinking about this challenge ... i notice alot of us have a few things we want to improve on take control of etc ... quick question .. what is the most important to you individually and would sorting that one thing out have a knock on effect on all the others?

Hi guys!!!

I'd like to join please, if anyone needs a kick up the bum it's me.!!!

Without boring you all. Number 1 is to increase my fitness, I suffer from major pain in both legs, although the doctor can find nothing wrong:think:
I sold a lot of stuff on e-bay and treated myself to a treadmill that arrives on wednesday, so my aim is to do some everyday, increasing both time and speed (any advice on this would be appreciated):D

and Number 2 is to stay on budget for June, its all on paper and normally give it a week and i blow it on something stupid!!! If i stay on budget i could clear my debts!!!:mad: (its a no-brainer really)

I could think of loads more but i'll start slowly and not over do it!!!

Good luck everone..................

For me its health. Without going into too much detail, i think if i get the weight loss under control it will help with several other things linked to it

I all got room for one more?

I have been forced to face up to my debt issues as DH is currently ill unable to work. My challenges are:

1, be DF asap but with 18k to clear this is still a long way off!

2, lose 6stone in weight and stay there! and get fit so I can at least chase after the kiddies with out feeling like I will pass out.

3, Declutter the house and get in to a routine with the housework and cleaning.

4, Have more time and patience with the children, to enjoy them...... one that will come easier when 1,2 and 3 are underway lol!

Thankyou Dragon, this is the kick up the bum I needed!

I think there are many things that need changing in my existance at the moment (note that i didnt use the word life for a reason)

- I will to continue dealing with my finances
- I will find a better job with more reasonable hours (Over night shift)
- I will spend my days off in day shift mode so that things actually get done
- I will save enough money for a house deposit
- I will get out of the rental market
- I will find more time for myself (in the most MSE way possible)
- I will appricate OH, family and friends more
- and the most important I WILL HAVE A LIFE not just an existance.

Ok thats me done, hmm thats one large list isnt it lol, but at least i feel passionate about it.

elantan

Hi Elantan, mine would be my weight/eating too. For some reason I feel like if I get on top of this then everything else will follow! xxx
