lent

One thing I do is that I give up stuff for Lent. This year I'm going to weigh myself on Sunday and then I'll weigh myself at the end of Lent and see how much I've lost. This year I'm looking into eating healthier and hoping that it helps kick start me into healthier lifestyle. I always give up more then one thing (usually in case I slip up with something. I know, bad of me).

This year I've decided to give up sweets, chocolate, pop, unheathly white things (i.e. white rice, white bread,etc. Still eating bread and rice just going for brown rice or whole wheat/grain bread), and unnessasary purchases. Goal is to eat healthier and save money. I'm also listening to bible audiobooks.

Do you observe Lent? What do you give up, if you give up anything?

new year

Here's to a start of a new year. Last year was full of downs. My stepdad passed away, was harrassed by his biological children, went house hunting (terrible time to do it), bought a house, been doing repairs on it, on 11/30 one of our dogs got out and still havent heard or seen anything, spent Christmas and new years at new house. 

With this new year I'm going to work on getting back on top of my physical/mental and emotional self (gained a lot of weight and have just let myself go, depressing thoughts), going to move in and start staying at new place, upped amount putting into retirement after bringing it down for buying of the house, starting friday I'm doing an auto deposit of $100 weekly into my savings account. I'm also not giving up on finding my fur baby, she's out there somewhere.

What are you working on this year? Any suggestions on anything else I should do?
