Day 1 – January 1st

Blog Post #2 – January 1st, 2020.

Today was day one of My life as a Debtor.  I participated in a run at the local gym called the Commitment day run.  It is a 5K that I usually do every year with a group of friends. It is a great way to start the new year and to restart training for the new year after slacking off in December.  The gym provides a brunch after the run so there is no need to go out to eat after the race, which helped my stay on track with my spending plan.

 This year because New Year’s Day is in the middle of the week I have to return to work tomorrow.  Therefore it was easy to resist the urge to head to the store to buy containers to get organized. I never actually get any organizing done anyway, so this year I saved money by not buying extra bins that will just sit empty in the garage.   

I do not foresee leaving the house again today so I will not spend any money today.  Now I just have to remember to pack a lunch for myself and my husband so we stay on track for day two.
