I put together a small package of stuff I have collected over the last few months for my BFF. Heading to the Post Office now.

I made the final payment on American Express today. I still have 3 cards to go. I put the card through the shredder. Once the payment has posted I will be calling to cancel everything and make sure I am clear. It feels good.

I did not just think about it, I actually got up and went. When I got there the parking lot was full, but I would not be thwarted. I eventually parked and went inside to get my weight and measurements done. They could not do it at that time….It’s like they are testing me to see if I will just give up. I just went ahead and worked out.
I only did 25 minutes on the elliptical machine, but it’s 25 more minutes than I did in the last two months. I sweated and it felt good.

I bought a written journal and went to my gym orientation tonight. Now all I have to do is put on all that spandex and hit the gym. Just kidding. About the spandex.

I just got the membership card in the mail. I hope my husband did not see it. I haven’t told him about this because I don’t want him holding it over my head. “When was the last time you went to the gym? It’s expensive if you don’t use it” Blah blah blah. Not his money, not his problem.
I am ready to get some energy back in my life as well as better fitting pants.

I got the gym membership today 9/29/08. Now the next step is to go. Consistently.

I have lived in the midwest all of my 35 years. I like it here but there is a great big wide world out there and I want to try something else. My husband has decided that where we live now, in Chicago, is the greatest place on Earth so this will be difficult.

I finish grad school in a little over a year and then I told him I am moving. Hopefully I can convince him to come with me, but either way I am taking the dogs.

I have already started this for myself. Unfortunately my husband is not on the game plan. He just does not see how important this is. As a full-time student and part-time employee I make next to nothing, but what I make goes to paying off debt. It’s hard but piece by piece it is happening. I have cancelled extra credit cards but will keep one in case of emergencies. I have $300 to pay off on two other cards. I just have to keep moving forward.

The idea of being able to disappear and reappear somewhere else is certainly appealing. It keeps an air of mystery about you and would always be a great topic of conversation for house guests. I will not pad my house to make other people comfortable, though, so if you fall thru that trap door know that you will land on a dirty mattress if you are lucky.
