How I did it
How to eat healthy
It took me
2 years
It made me

How I did it: I now read the labels for all the foods I buy, if it's more than 20% sugar or 5% saturated fats, tehn I don't buy it.The only time I eat un healthy food is when I eat out, but as I'm trying to get out of debt, that's not that often.I've lost some fat weight and am now building my muscle back up.It's really easy to eat healthy if you just pay attention to what you're putting in your mouth and you can still have the odd treat.

How to quit my job
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: I didn't quit, they gave me a big payrise, and they keep sending me away on trips around the world. I'd be crazy to quit now, especailly since I couldn't find another job in the current climate. Read how I did it…

How to get my cbt
It took me
1 day
It made me
Less nervous

How I did it: I booked this at a local biking training place 'cause I want to do a long bike trip with my brother in the summer. I already drive so wasn't too worried about being on the road, but found the bike very difficult to learn how to ride, using brakes and gears on a bike is very different to a car.Am now planning to buy myslf a bike to practice on before taking my full test this summer.

Just made over £300 on ebay doing this 2 weeks ago

I just sold a load of old games and DVD’s, aswell as an Ipod I don’t use and a nintendo DS, got over £300 in total!!! ;-)

Feels great and goes towards my other goal of getting out of debt, so all this will come off my credit card!!! ;-)

Failure!!! 2 weeks ago

We tried and failed.
My engine burned through all it’s oil and seized up, ended up having to scrap the bike and catch train home. Was not a happy time.
But am over it now and planning to re-visit this goal once I’ve out of debt and on a proper bike, so in about three years then.
