It Starts Tomorrow

365 days starts tomorrow. Wow!

I'm not 100 percent sure that I'm prepared, but here goes!

Starting tomorrow, I'm sticking with my plan of not buying anything new, not spending a lot of money eating out, and generally trying to focus on getting debt paid off - mainly in terms of credit cards and car payments.

What am I feeling? Well, nervous. I know that there will be times that I want to go on a Target shopping spree or to splurge on lots of Starbucks lattes. That's just the nature of my past habits. I anticipate there will probably be times that I stumble. I also feel like summer will be easier than the school year. But I am hopeful that if I develop some good habits now, they will carry through to the busier times. I am also feeling excited and hopeful. I know that I have the opportunity to make some really great changes that will impact me for the better down the road.

I know that one huge factor is preparation. I've already got my coffee pot set for tomorrow morning so that I can make some ahead and avoid buying any at work. Unfortunately I do not have any lunch ingredients, since it was a holiday and I was out of town all weekend. I plan to swing by the grocery store in the morning to pick up a few Lean Cuisines to store in the freezer at work. I will then likely make a second trip tomorrow evening to get some dinner ingredients.

I'll be honest...this may not be the most exciting blog if I'm not spending any money, haha. But here's hoping that I have more success stories that setbacks.

Countdown set at 365.
