You've noticed the name of this blog is "Stealthy Living." I've named it this because I'm not one who is really good about sticking to a plan when it comes to eating healthy or budgeting. I'm a cheater, really. So I have to fool myself. I also have to fool my husband (whose idea of a balanced meal involves lots of red meat and very little else). I don't claim to be an expert, but I've done a lot of dieting (with success) and I've found that little changes can make a big difference. I'm applying that idea to my life as of today, Sept. 27, 2010.
Here are my goals:
- Pay off all credit card debt by February 2012.
- Lose 10 pounds or 2 inches from my waistline (I'll take either) by January 2011.
- Slowly weed out processed foods (like chips, cookies, and other junk).
- Have at least one vegetable and one fruit with every meal.
- Limit alcohol intake to three beverages per week (or less).
- Apply for Grad School Fall 2012. (Either for a MAT or Counselor's license)
- Pay off student loans by February 2013 (this depends on whether I actually make it back to school).
- Save money that was going towards credit cards to buy a house in 2014.
That sounds pretty good to me. If you would like to join me in some goal-making, please feel free to share. Also, if you have some advice you'd like to offer, e-mail me and we'll arrange a guest post.
Here's to Stealthy Living!
