In my post, Lighten the Load Confessionals, I shared with you that I am challenging myself to rid myself of 11,500 units of household weight, personal weight and debt between now and the end of the year.
One UNIT = $1 or 1 lb.
Example: Personally lose 3 lbs + DH's loss of 5lbs + $200 in debt reduce + 100 lbs of household items donated, sold, recycled, etc. =
a loss of 308 Units for one week!
With this kind of progress over 52 weeks that would result in a loss of 16,016 units.
Understanding that reducing debt by $200 and reducing clutter by 100 lbs. each, and every, week are a lofty thoughts (I am avoiding the G--- word here), I feel I have can reasonably assume that my chosen unit target is attainable.
I am challenging myself and announcing my 11,500 goal publicly so I can solicit your help in motivating me to post my records for all the world to see.If you are interested in joining me in shedding unwanted, stress-causing, factors in your life....I welcome you with open arms. Set your own parameters to Lighten the Load in your life....everyone has their own concerns, stress buttons, etc. I just welcome having someone to share the challenges, exchange ideas and to celebrate the victories. If you would like, please feel free to grab the widget as small motivational reminder for yourself or as recognition for taking the first steps. If we develop even a small group, I may just have to design some real badges of honor for completing different levels of the individual challenges. Did that make sense at all?
You know, this is inline with my goals for the year as well. I'll have to think about what my actual number is...
