It is interesting how if you start to focus on a different goal, the ones you were previously focused on suffer. I started to think and act more on my fitness goals and have consequently let this one slip. I did have a little breakdown and bought some clothes this month because I was getting low and having no luck at the thrift store. But now that my wardrobe is back into the acceptable range as far as number of garments (as opposed to crisis mode before), I can reestablish my intensity again.

On a very good note, I am engaged! As far as money and my gazelle intensity, the limbo of not knowing how to pay for the wedding – or rather, what the plan is, because we will be able to come up with the money – is stressing me out a little. Should I be diverting money from my debt repayment? Simply using my rent money, once it is no longer used for rent, toward the wedding? Are we going to establish a joint savings account for wedding expenses? Or do it like we’ve done with our trips, one pays for some stuff and one pays for other stuff and we even up at the end? I want to decide these things so I can make adjustments in my own plans. I know nothing is a right or wrong answer, we just have to decide. Plus we need to start putting aside money now.
