So glad we had good timing! Do you want to post your progress in tandem? I’m thinking Saturdays will be my update days.

I’m aiming to fill my trash can, the recycling bin and the charity bags that my way (getting rid of clutter).

Oh the caffeine. I had to stop absolutely cold turkey when my husband went into the hospital because every time I drank it, I started shaking and lurching—really. Heart palpitations and all. I think sticking with someone in the hospital as you’ve just done is like being naturally caffeinated and is a very good time to lay off the juice. I’ve recently pulled back form 6 cups daily to one-2 cups every few days (yep, I started up again once the stress went down!). I think I’ll try to stop altogether, but something about coffee just settles my stomach–weird I know. And the thought of drinking decaf scares me.

My challenge: get my financial house in order. Oh, it is such a mess. I don’t have debt, but am frightfully unorganized–emergency funds in checking account with 0 interest, retirement still in California State funds when I should roll it over etc. I think I’ll give myself a financial makeover.

Winter has just hit here, and I feel like an old, achey lady (I’m 26). My challenge is to get back to my level of fitness of about a year ago, get my tension shoulders and wire-tight hamstrings all stretched out, and to be more active in general. I want to feel fit and able and active, and to be able to do things I want to get done like gardening and heavy housework without groaning about it.

If I lose weight, I’ll be a bit happy, since some of my clothes fit the me that bought them – a dress size down – and I don’t want to go buy new things. But weight loss certainly isn’t my goal. Body shape change is a minor goal. But feeling like I fit properly into my body again, whatever shape or size that body happens to be? Definitely my goal.

My challenge is to sign up to a yoga class and to go once a week for at least two months, and to start riding my bike to work again!

OK–Yet once more, I will try to deal with the clutter. And do crunches every day.

I need to lose some weight too. We should be accountability partners!
