lose 50 pounds before I turn 40
Untitled 17 months ago

I am 5’5” tall and I weigh 245 pounds.

I will be 40 years old in November of this year (2008) and I want to be under 200 pounds by then. This would be halfway to my goal.

I know what I need to do to make this happen… the trick is finding the energy and the motivation to actually do it.

make money from photography
My First Sale 3 years ago

Technically, I have accomplished this goal. However, I want to make enough money selling my work that I can make it my only from of income, so I’m keeping it on my list.

My first sale was to a woman who came into the gallery where I work. She was looking for photos of the Phoenix Skyline, which we don’t have in the gallery, but my boss told her about my photos and took her name and number. I showed her my shots of Phoenix, and she purcased two of them, small (4” x 10”) and gave me $10 for each of them. So, my first sale was small, and allo it got me was a new haircut. But, hey, it’s a start!

get out of debt
Working On It... 3 years ago

We used a recent inheritance to pay off a significant portion of our debt. Mostly, it was credit card debt, but we also made a couple of large payments on our car. We figured out that the monthly payments we eliminated by paying off the debt totalled almost $800 a month!

It’s like a weight lifted to have so much of our debt gone. WE also have old debt that we put into a Debt Consolidation Program, which will be paid off in the Spring of 2007. Then all we’ll have left is student loans. It’s a great feeling!
