keeping myself accountable: my push goal

todays 30 day push assignment is to share our goals with a person important to us. i will definitely be thinking it over, but i'd rather have a whole boatload of people keeping me accountable!

so, i wanted to share my big, gigantic domino goal with you guys, which is to save up $10,000 by December 2015. I have saved up $623.37 since December which i am going to allow myself to count, because it is such a big goal and it's fair to me, sooo i have $9376.63 to go

cries, haha. I have to really clutch my pennies close to me to get this accomplished. it is going to be insanely difficult, but i've done the math and despite the challenge, its not impossible. i could have $10k in savings by December 2015. I need to work hard and be committed to this, so i wanted to share with you guys! don't let me go waste any money! ;)

30 day push: day 8

Week 1 of the 30 day challenge is done! Time to really focus on my push goal: paying off my credit card debt. this will be incredibly hard. but really worthwhile. i've already budgeted to pay extra to my cards this year. including tax refund and bonus (if i get one)! i'm committing to going out less or at least spending less when i do go out and drinking less which will obviously save calories too! all good things. it's going to be such a great year and i know i'm starting it right!

30 day push: day 7

this is one of my favorite days because you do a brain dump of EVERYTHING you need to do. like ever. the stuff for today as well as into the future. and to get all of that out of your head and on paper? it's like a breath of fresh air. even though the list may be massive, just knowing what you have to do is so huge! i need to really get back into this habit of creating my daily to-do lists and what better day to start than a monday?

not sure how i feel about this five day work week... can we please have december again? thanks!

Push goal!

so it's day 4 and today we have to pick a push goal. this is the one or two goals that once you achieve it (them) it makes the others easier. i don't really have one of those though... if i maintain my savings balance it will give me the financial freedom to visit my friends, spend more time focusing on AR activism and less time in the office, and help me get to Australia. so maybe that will be my push goal.

Maybe i should make that a loftier goal- not just maintaining my savings balance but getting out of debt. really that should be my push goal. it will be hard... but it's definitely something i want to do if the stars all align. DONE. that's my new goal.

SO when i'm out of debt it will feel AMAZING. i have been drowning under this mountain of debt as long as i can remember and i don't even know what it would feel like to have it off my shoulders. free? un-trapped? like i could do anything or go anywhere? yep. that's got to be my goal. i'll be able to truly start saving money and go on more trips. i'll be able to not only visit my friends but explore the world with them. i'll be able to focus more on AR activism and less on my paycheck.

to do this i'm going to have to give some things up. like going out all the time. and going on all my trips (this year i have LA, DC, portland, wisconsin, st louis, vegas, and austin all on the docket). BUT if i take this year to really focus on paying off my debt and being thrifty, i think i can do this. i KNOW i can do this.

step 1: work on a new budget

step 2: really think about the extras i'm getting this year, bonus/taxes/etc, and how i want to spend that money. i know i can't sit still all year and not travel at all but i need to figure out where the best use of that money is

Chalene Johnson's 30 Day Challenge: Day 2

I'm once again participating in Chalene Johnson's 30 day challenge and I'm excited because I know this will set me up to have an amazing 2013! today is all about how to determine your priorities- those things that you wouldn't compromise. My top three priorities are:

Friends and family

AR Activism

Fitness/wellness

AR activism is a new one for me... two years ago when I did this I didn't even know what was out there in the world of animal rights! Now it's something that is so important to me... it's what I want to be remembered for.

Specifically for my number one priority, my friends and family, I want to spend time with my friends and family. I want to make sure I do my best to spend time with all of my friends, which includes visiting the ones that live far away, and I want to be involved in their lives. I also want to make sure I am spending as much time as possible with my mom and keeping in touch with my sister.

And there's my accountability post for day 2!

One of my heroes is @ChaleneJohnson. She is the creator of a couple workout videos, teaches classes, inspires many, and is just all around awesome.

One of the amazing ways she helps people is by offering this free 30-day program called "30 Day Push." You can sign up and take her challenge, which consists of a short video each day that will help you get your life together and realize and achieve your goals! It has been amazingly helpful for me, so I wanted to pass it along! It starts the first of every month, but you have to sign up before then! All you have to do is go to www.30daypush.com and give them your name & email address, so they can send you the videos!

Let me know what you think! xoxo, Mandie
