Starting yesterday I am going to try my hardest to pay off my $20k in credit card debt. I figured that we can pay at least $1000 a month, so my goal is to have it paid by 4/2008. I know that is a long time, but it is a lot to pay off.

I also have two more goals: don't over-eat and don't over-spend.

Not that I am overweight, but since I got married in 2003 I went from a size 4 to a size 8. Yuck! I say I over-eat because I get "big-eyes" and want to order everything on the menu to eat and then end up sickly stuffed at the end. I don't exercise or diet.. and I don't plan to really for now. Yesterday at Arby's I ordered a Medium roast beef with cheddar and a medium Pepsi. Usually I would get a large sandwich with fries or potato cakes. But the one smaller sandwhich was plenty. This is also good because I am saving money eating less!!! Another thing I am watching out for is pop. I am not giving up my Pepsi, but I am only going to have it with meals. And when ordering out, always a medium (20 oz ish) or smaller. I find I do not need more than that.

Over-Spending.. I am the worst at this. Again, yesterday I started working on this. I go to Target often and buy misc. BS and end up spending $50 on one bag of things. So unfufilling, but I still do it! Yesterday I went in for a container to hold my bird food. I walked by the DVDs and saw a movie I never heard of but looked interesting. It was $19.99, not on sale. I picked it up to buy, but at the last minute in line I decided not to. I am so proud of myself for this because this is exactly what leads to my over-spending. Hmm.. I need to try to stay away from Target all together. Oh! Thought of a new goal!

Goals:
* Pay at least $1000 a month to Credit Card.
* Only eat what makes me content, not stuffed.
* Only purchase things I need or have slept on. No impulse purchases.
* Go to Target only once a week. Make a shopping list for the weekly trip.
