How I did it
It made me
feel rational 
How I did it: i think making a conscious decision to do (or not to do) something is 80% of doing it. Once I became aware of how much I was buying add ons, it wasn't so natural to continue doing it. It made me want to do it less. Read how I did it…
It made me
FANTASTIC 
How I did it: I found a training plan, found a race, paid the entry fee, and ran! That third step was the real commitment. I wanted to get the early bird discount but was a bit leery of signing up so early in my training program. It was that moment that I realized I was in it to win it and there was no turning back, lol. Anyway, I had a great race. My friends came to cheer me on, and I feel fantastic. Read how I did it…
It made me
feel disciplined
How I did it: Sheer will power. I skipped dinner with friends, going out for a birthday, and buying the new MC CD (SO HARD, lol), but I think it was worth it. Spending money I don't have yet is a habit I'm going to have to break in order to get out of debt and have more money for myself. Read how I did it…
