in Motivation and Support
I have a list of resolutions to be done before the close of 2017. I am listing them here so I can check in once a month and give a status or brag. Join me! (I have a separate group for daily/every other day, monthly, quarterly and weekly)

1. Volunteer at a charity function
2. Get down to 170 pounds
3. Go on a cruise
4. Buy a new saddle
5. Raise my credit score
6. Buy a new truck (new to me)
7. Get pregnant
8. Adopt or foster a child

These are mine, what are yours?

    Update!

    1. Volunteer at a charity function - I am looking at volunteering at Special Olympics, or with Relay for Life
    2. Get down to 170 pounds - On day 3 of my diet and work out plan. wanting to lose a pound a week. Weigh in days are Monday

    4. Buy a new saddle - Have budgeted for March 17th, just before my B-day.
    5. Raise my credit score - Ordered my credit report today! When I get it, I will consult with a specialist on credit rebuild after bankruptcy.
    6. Buy a new truck (new to me) - When I get my tax return, I will use it towards a down payment on a truck 5k or less. I will then make payments until I sell my current truck and can pay it off.
    7. Get pregnant - Tracking my BASAL temp daily. Losing weight is a big part of it. Dr said losing 20% of my weight will drastically imporve fertility. In June, we will start looking at fertility options. (this is year 3 of trying)

    Just got off the phone with a DHS worker. She is coming out tomorrow to assess our home and start our foster parent training. Hopefully we will finally have a child in our home soon. Wish us luck!

    Update.
    1. Volunteer at a charity function - I am looking at volunteering at Special Olympics, or with Relay for Life
    2. Get down to 170 pounds - Down to 215 as of today. On schedule with my losing a pound a week. Was ahead by 3, but this business trip I just got back from knocked me off track bad. Gained 3 pounds back. At least I am still on my original goal.
    3. Go on a cruise - I have the deposit budgeted for a 5 day cruise to Cozumel in March. Sail date in October.
    4. Buy a new saddle - Have budgeted for March 17th, just before my B-day.
    5. Raise my credit score - My current score is 581. Going to dispute 3 items and in June, going to apply for a secure credit card.
    6. Buy a new truck (new to me) - Got my W2, will have my current truck paid off. Found an excellent deal for a 2005 3/4 ton ford crew cab with low miles. Old man who hardly drives it and just sitting in his garage. Needs a gooseneck hook up and passenger window. 6k. Cant pass it up. Thinking payments will be about 200, and will sell my current truck for hopefully 3k, so should be able to pay off quick.
    7. Get pregnant - Tracking my BASAL temp daily. Losing weight is a big part of it. Dr said losing 20% of my weight will drastically improve fertility. In April, we will take the log and see our doctor. His sperm count came back good. Really thought we had it this month, but right on time I started. So, we get to try again in February. Will try harder at losing weight.
    8. Adopt or foster a child - First training session done, Need to call to schedule next. On track to be fostering by end of the first quarter.
