In May I finally bought an Xbox 360 because they bundled it with Fable II (great game!) but it was only available in the US, so I had to buy it on eBay and it cost an extra 50 USD plus shipping and customs. The Sims 3 came out in June and I had already preordered it. But on top of that I had to replace my hard drive.
Despite the big purchases I made, I think I have done well. I wanted to buy an Xbox 360, but held off. I have been working more hours, which is okay. My Dad wants me to pay rent again and that’s reasonable.
Last fall I started exercising with Nintendo’s Wii Fit. I’ve lost about 10 pounds and my BMI has gone down from Obese to Overweight. My pants are loose!
A couple of months ago my computer got a virus. This was a great time to backup all my files. Fortunately, I was able to get rid of the virus so I didn’t need to reformat my hard drive.
I am also eagerly anticipating the arrival of The Sims 3 and realized I had to get rid of some stuff to make room for it.
Saving money hasn’t gone quite as well this year. In the summer I bought a new pair of glasses and prescription sunglasses and in October I bought a Nintendo Wii and a PlayStation 2. FUN!
We had some unexpectedly nice weather this November. This makes the second time I rode my bike in November.
Saving money is going well. This is the first Christmas I have had a regular job. Lots of gifts from co-workers, clients and a big bonus from the boss. I also made a lot of the gifts for my family.
I bought some clothes last month but ended taking most of them back. The credits won’t show up until next months credit card bill, so this months was an eye-popping (to me anyway, someone who only makes $300 a month) $500. I, fortunately did have enough in my bank account plus the minimum, so no debt and no service charge! I figure that credit could be used for Christmas presents so it’s all working out.
Also, with my new diet, I haven’t been buying any chocolate.
Bought some work clothes for the winter season, which are really not working out for winter. And then just this weekend my mom pulls out some pants from my closet that are even better than the ones I bought. If she so good at remembering what clothes I have, why couldn’t she have remembered them when she was giving me advice on the pants I just spent money on?
My Naturopath has me on a diet. She finally restricting my food is the only way I’m going to lose weight. I have lost 5 pounds but I don’t care. It’s hasn’t been two weeks and I can’t stand it. I’ve run out of the special protein shake (yuk!), so tomorrow I am going to eat what ever I want.
I am opening a savings account and saving for a place of my own. My dad likes this idea and is even going to match what I deposit!
I have met the minimum for my bank account for the last couple of months. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to keep it for the whole month.

I hurt my knee a couple of weeks ago and had to stop doing my regular workout. So I started swimming at the local pool. I wish now that I had gone more often in the winter.
This will be my first weekend at the cottage. I’m looking forward to swimming in the lake.
I totally forgot about this goal when I bought it. Oh, well!
I only bought the software because I wanted to download from their site (Some really great Buffy related lots and Sims by billgruffs!) and you need to register using an unused product code.
My bank charges me $3.50 every month because my balance is below their minimum. My first goal is to earn enough money and keep it so that they stop charging me every month.
Since I’m temporarily off dairy due to digestive problems, I’m going to have to put this goal on hold temporarily.
Current weight: 166.9 lbs.
I was having digestive problems so my Naturopath told me to stop eating dairy. After hovering around 170 pounds for months, I have started to lose weight!
This morning I rode the Big Bike with other Oak Ridges Curves members. I was filling in for someone else so I was unable to get sponsors but our entire group raised over $3000. And it was a lot of fun!
We finally had some nice weather yesterday and I was able to go for a bike ride. Yeah! Looks like today will be a nice day as well!
