Day 0

April is a special month. It's my birth month and this year, it begins right after Easter! What perfect timing and opportunity for me to use this month to reach my goals?

I made 3 goals (or resolutions) for 2013:

--Be physically healthier
I want to lose 20lbs by the end of the year. This is tough because I have a hard time with self control when it comes to sweets!

--Do chores routinely

Ok, my isn't dirty it's just messy! This is what happens when you have a 1-year-old and a busy schedule. Things just don't get done! My goal this year is do the chores in a routine so that our condo stays clean all year round instead of once a month!

--Be financially healthier
I finished school with $40,000 in school loans. My husband and I have resolved to pay this off as quick as we can. I want this loan down to $30,000 by the end of the year. We are currently at $38,900. This means we need to pay approximately $1150/mo.

For this month of April, I am going to focus on being physically healthier. For this plan, I am going to use the Digest Diet which has worked for me in the past and proven to last (I've kept off 5lbs for 8mos). I am going to record the following daily:

-Weight
-Diet (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
-Exercises
-Daily Activities
-How I'm feeling about myself
