Week 1 completed!

Week one was pretty productive. 

My progress so far:

  • Soda – I’ve only had one in the first week.  This is exactly on target.
  • TV – I’ve watched 5 hours so far.  This is again, exactly on target.
  • Meals out – I made the executive decision, that birthday’s don’t count.  So I have been out once so far.  This is under the mark, which in this case is good.
  • I had to re-evaluate my diet already because I wasn’t getting enough protein for kung fu.  I’m now consuming 100 grams of protein a day, and this is enough food that I’m barely eating anything else.
  • 4 kung fu classes so far.  This is over my mark of 3 classes a week!
  • I’ve made two phone calls to my sister and one to my Nan.  These numbers are actually both increased by one, but I figured if I wasn’t counting eating out on my bday, I shouldn’t count the extra phone calls.
  • I’ve sent my sisters one package already.
  • I’ve made one batch of cookies
  • Sam and I made one loaf of bread.  See her blog for the writeup.
  • This is the biggest accomplishment of the week.  I took the plunge and paid off my student loans as a birthday present to me.  As of my 24th birthday, I am OFFICIALLY debt free.  I will probably write a blog about this in the next week.
  • 7 blog entries already!

Things to work on next week:

  • Get floss.  I can’t really make my flossing commitment if I don’t even have floss that will fit under my permanent retainer.
  • Finish Secret Garden this weekend and read “Half the Sky” next week.  For some reason I haven’t felt much like reading on the subway.  I daydream and people watch instead.
  • Start taking vitamins daily
  • I’m going to DC!
  • Start jogging for the 5k in November

I’d say that is more than enough to bite off for one week.

    WOW! Congrats on all your progress in the first week! I’m insanely jealous of your paying off your student loan debt :)

    I, too, am insanely jealous.

    On a different note, might i also recommend bringing some of your travel-worthy tasks in the car on the way to DC. just don’t let mandeix touch them :-P

    Start putting extra toward your loans if you can. That’s how I got mine paid off so quickly!

    Sam, I will definitely take my knitting on this trip. Thanks for reminding me; I wouldn’t have thought about it. I normally can’t do this on trips because I take a kitten with me, but she hasn’t perfected her kung fu enough to compete yet ;)
