In the last month we have paid off a car and a credit card. Things are beginning to look up. There’s still a load of debt out there, but eliminating $600 worth of payments every month is such a relief!

How I did it: A bunch of my friends and I went. We've been planning it for months and I got the package with the manicure, pedicure, facial, brow wax and massage. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I can't tell you how to do this because it will be different things to different people. Do what works for you. If you need support, reach out to your partner or sympathetic friends. There is more acceptance than you realize. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was so nervous about buying these shoes. I mean, they are not the least bit practical or conservative, but man o man are they hot! Seriously, I didn't think I could bear to wear them out of the house, but now I wear them twice a week at least. These shoes made me feel sexy and brave. Read how I did it…

We paid off the van this week. Just bit the bullet and paid the last few payments in a lump sum. I’d rather eat rice for the rest of the year than give Wachovia any more of my hard-earned money. Next up, the credit cards.
Starting the 100 pushup challenge today. I am looking forward to being stronger!
