My replacement ATM card came in the mail on Friday. Saturday I got my new PIN. I have used it once to take $20 out of my checking account to use as spending money for the week. I am going to try to trick myself into thinking it is still lost.

I am using Mevelopes for the first time ever. So far, so good. I am still learning how to navigate all the envelopes and I am excited that I get paid this Friday and some of my envelopes still have money in them! All the extra is going toward paying off my debt.

I am really trying to stick with my goals for the first quarter of 2009. I am reading an awesome book that I am 100 pages into already.

My sister in law and 2 friends and I have created a little email support group for our diets and weight loss efforts. We are going to check in with each other a few times a week via email to hold each accountable.

I have printed off the schedule of classes at my gym. I am going to try to take 2 classes a week. They have one called EZ Rider which sounds pretty good to me!

I have banished most of the processed snack food from our house with the exception of some chips for my daughters lunch. I am hoping if its not in the house I won't be tempted. And since I only have a limited amount of money left in my food envelope its not like I can go to the store and buy some snacks or icecream.

It sounds so simple-why does it have to be so hard?!
