How I did it
How to date my boyfriend
It took me
3 years
It made me
discouraged

How I did it: We went out, dated, did all that.  But our relationship fell apart anyway.  At least we tried.  I know I did everything I could.  I met someone else.  I am having fun dating HIM! Read how I did it…

How to help my son defeat Autism
It took me
2 years
It made me
sometimes good

How I did it: He's in preschool now, and all I can do is follow their recommendations.  Overall, I think he will have a good life even with this diagnose.  His language is okay, social interaction is okay.  His self-help skills are okay.  By "okay", they are still below average but I'm sure he will still be a functional adult.

How to keep track of every dollar I spend and how I spend it
It took me
60 days
It made me
happy

How I did it: Took a white sheet of paper on the first of each month and wrote the name of the month on top.  I use crayons to draw lines across the page, making 3 sections.  Section one is set bills where I know what the amount will be, such as installment loans, credit cards, rent, etc.  Section 2 is "allowances" for expenses, which are grocery allowance, gasoline allowance heat/electricity allowance (since the amount is different ever… Read how I did it…

I have a big week at work coming up. I’ll probably bring in 400 dollars on Black Friday and the weekend after. Maybe I can bring it down some more.

Weigh 140 lbs (read all 3 entries…)
143-ish 6 days ago

I would love to lose just 3-5 more lbs. I look good in tight clothing, but I have a bulge in the middle and along my ass that I would love to donate.

Going vegan did most of the work. If I can squeeze an hour or two of cardio every week I’m sure it will be GONE.
