In Progress
22 months ago
So, I’ve been, though fleetingly in one it still counts, to three states already:
California
Nevada
Arizona (pass through, though I did see the grand canyon so it counts. My feet were on the ground there.)
This weekend we’re going to add two:
Montana
Wyoming
And in November we’ll be heading to Colorado.
That’s 7 down (the one I’m in obviously counts) and only 43 to go. Since in March we’re driving to California again, I’m going to take pics of every state that I’ve been too and I can get those first three this time since I was too young to get tham last time.

So, I got a raise and despite my intent to put any extra away, I’m actually spending it. I manage to carry over a couple hundred each paycheck, but my check that I mentioned earlier hasn’t been released yet so I don’t have that counted for. Besides that, I’ve got my new car, we’re getting a house as soon as possible, and I’m starting on my 50 states goal next weekend by hitting two of them. Kind of costly to do that, but worth it in my opinion.

Working on it
22 months ago
So, I had a little incentive added to this one. At work we started a group competition. The entry fee was $20 and it all went into the pot. Whomever had the most overall weight loss and the one who had the best appearance improvement split or wins the money. So far there’s over $300 in the pot so I’m pushing to win. Doing good so far. A little slip here and there, but I try to keep it down to one meal if I slip at all. Haven’t checked my weight yet, but I think after the initial weigh in I’ll up my weight loss goal to 50 pounds. Mostly I’m aiming to be a healthy weight, and to get into shape.
