Things I need to do for the new year--

23*, feels like 13*, 66% humidity, S 9 mph wind, fair

I spent 3 days sick (it wasn't a hang over after all, but a case of eating BAD SHRIMP at a party), and so have not started working on my new healthy habits for 08. These habits include everything from eating locally, exercising more (you will have to see my other blog tired soles for this) and getting back on the more sustainable lifestyle track--which includes fragility and saving money, and prepping for emergencies.

So I have some to-dos for the weekend.

1. Come up with a dinner menu plan for the next week (AND STICK WITH IT)

• eliminate fast food (or cafeteria food)
• eliminate more processed food
• cook something everyday
• cook/bake extra and save for future meals

2. Keep a running tally of foods used most and decide what can be bought in bulk and what can be preserved myself/ produced myself from local sources and the garden.

3. Shop at the Thrift Store first. If there is a need to buy something like new pants, scrubs, etc-- check the thrift shop first before anywhere else.

4. Make an organizing plan. Pick a room weekly to work on.

• Organize the house, get rid of clutter.
• Donate what no longer fits or isn't used.
• Organize the kitchen cupboards.

5. Plan for fitness every week. (again, I will keep this plan on tiredsoles.blogspot)

6. Plan out bill payment and savings!

• Work on ways to pay off the student loan and car loan.
• Make SURE some $$ actually gets saved.
