Debt progress, first weigh-in, etc.

January 2nd, 2015 at 10:30 pm

All the mortgage payments hit:
US (condo): $493 to principal
US (duplex): $631
UK1: $219
UK2: $46
UK3: $48

All told, that's $1437 down, $113 to go on the January debt goal.

I weighed in on Jan. 1 to join PatientSaver's challenge. I'm right around 137. Could be better, could be worse. My goal weight is 127, and my birthday is March 2, so I figure I'll aim to lose 10 lbs. by then.

Last night I tried out my friend's elliptical that we recently got moved into the basement. I only did about 5 or 10 minutes; I'm pretty out of shape from being less active during my various holiday ailments. Still getting my energy back. But it was good to start the first day with some exercise. I'll try to do it again tonight.

AS is not seeking out work actively right now because she's been pretty busy; she worked most of the holiday days except the ones she was too sick to work. But even without seeking, she'll have at least a bit of work every week for the foreseeable future; two of her clients (my work and her old one) both have some ongoing/recurring assignments for her. And her other clients tend to offer jobs pretty regularly. She's got her tax and retirement for 2014 funded and is nearly done funding her first February paycheck replacement. I'm not sure if that's still how I'm going to handle things; we'll see what NT's and my paychecks look like Jan. 15 and that should let me know the minimum that AS needs to make each month. Anything extra I can set aside to help pay off the condo mortgage when the time comes.

    Hope you can squeeze some more time on that elliptical.

    Good job getting back on the elliptical!

    I've gotten a bit more exercise in the last few days too, and will be walking to the library and my landlord's place tomorrow. (roughly 2.5 miles round trip)

    Did I miss the challenge? I looked for it but didn't see it. Is it too late to sign up??

    Thanks, you guys! Your encouragement got me on the elliptical for 10 minutes last night.

    Thriftorama, look in PatientSaver's mid-late December entries. It's really open-ended though; basically weigh yourself at the beginning of the year, set your own weight goal and deadline for reaching it, and weigh/check in once a week. I'm going to weigh in on Sundays.
