    Re: What is your goal this week?

    Glad to hear you biked/walked three out of five days to work. That is pretty impressive. Is this new for you or something you have been doing for a while?

      I got my walking in. I did de clutter one cabinet, but I have not yet balanced the checkbooks.

        Clean my indoor area for over a few tender plants and for seed-starting under lights in January through March. Just finsihed putting into packets the last of seeds I harvested for next year.

        Lift weights on schedule. I keep forgetting--not deliberately choosing not to lift, just forgettting. Maybe having written it here will help me remember.

          This weekend cost a lot more than expected.

          The next few weeks the boyfriend and I are saving for Christmas so the goals will remain the same...

          My goals:

          1) I will NOT buy any more clothes until Christmas, despite the fabulous sales the holidays bring. I have plenty! (This one is going to be hard )

          2) Resell some of my clothes I dont wear. Ive already collected them but its been a pain to make it to the place where they rebuy gently used items.

          3) Get back to dining in 5/7 nights a week. Also, we wont go out for breakfast anymore. Im going to buy a dozen eggs and a pack of turkey bacon that will last a while!

            I just bought my BIL his gift. It was a gift card to Barnes and Noble, but he is a coffee freak and likes to hang out there. So it is on its way. One down...

              1) Buy and send wedding gift.
              2) Try to start a 'christmas' list for gift buying
              3) Balance checkbook
              4) Exercise AT LEAST 4 days
              5) start SB diet

              So far I've exercised once (5am this morning UGH) and have 2 SB diet friendly meals down. I will have to go shopping since I have mostly NON-SB diet food at home.

                met last weeks goals (except still getting over the cold).

                This weeks goals:
                1. Go to gym 5 times (have been once)
                2. Stick to diet (lost three pounds by doctor's scale today) YAHOO!
                3. Put at least $75 in savings

                This is a great thread, gives you some inspiration when you're not feeling it!

                  This week I will research other banking packages my bank offers. When my original bank was bought out I was set up in a package that requires a $25k minimum balance or I get hit with a $25/month fee....and the interest rate is terrible.

                        My goals for this week:

                        - start the Christmas stocking stuffers shopping or at least get ideas (phone cards for college kids, makeup, etc.)
                        - finish up the last 2 kids' gifts (know what they want, just need to order them!)
                        - take my accounting exam

                          Think I'm going to post here to motivate myself into activity.

                          During the last Challenge I cleaned and dejunked my closets. This is good. What is not so good is the condition of my office/workroom, which I used as a staging area during the closets campaign.

                          My goal for the rest of this week is to clear and neaten my office. This will involve:

                          1) Find permanent homes for the "floaters" or let them go.
                          2) Move the remaining discards/donations either to the dumpster or the car.
                          3) Resolve the paper piles by filing, processing, or shredding.
                          4) Apply "use-it-or-lose-it" to the junk that litters my desk and work table.

                          To be completed by Sunday evening.

                            Hello, Glenn Kawesch's goals for this week.

                            Monday - Friday: Lose 10 pounds.
                            Saturday: Gain 5 pounds.
                            Sunday: Gain 4 pounds.

                            The way I see it, I will lose 1 pound per week and in one year I will have lost 52 pounds!

                            Flaws?

                                Went to the bank and changed my banking package to one that requires a much lower minimum balance. I also closed out an inactive passbook savings account that had $739 earning 1% interest. I will put 1/2 of that toward debt reduction and the other 1/2 in my ING account.
