1 Month Check-In

It’s been about a month since I started my little “Summer of Melissa” Project.

Let’s check in on my goals, shall we?

1. Pay off/down credit cards.

This is going well. The 2nd job is helping immensely. I’ve paid off 1 card completely and am on track to pay the other 2 off by the end of the year. I’m not spending needless money. Its nice.

2. My self-imposed dating break.

Well, aside from the disasterous date with “Blender Blake". I’m doing well on this one. However, my roomie is talking about setting me up. I’m down with that. I’m just not doing the online thing right now. It was way too stressful. I have NOT missed that stress in my life.

3. Change up the workout.

Well…on that front. I’ve been biking more. That’s so much fun! I haven’t done any yoga or lifted any weights. HOWEVER! I am 34 days into the 100 day pushup challenge. They are getting easier and I’m seeing some definition. It’s awesome. I’ve also been planking. I’m up to 2:40. Its hard, but totally worth it. You can see the muscles in my upper arms when I’m planking! Score!

I’ve got 60 days left to lose these stupid 8 pounds. I’m considering joining a gym near my house where my morning editor goes. Its only $30/month if I want to do the classes. $20/month if I just want to lift weights and use the machines. I’m mulling it over. It certainly goes against my spending diet. But I need to lift!

Hope you all have a great week friends!
