I did not buy shampoo for 3 months
While Mike was gone I had some goals I wanted to reach. Some were goals I had in mind long before he left and others I made up as I went. One of my goals was that I did not want to buy any toilet paper while he was gone. You see, we went to BJ's before he left and stocked up on quite a few things. I wanted to see if that bulk buy could last me 3 months. Close but no cigar. Had to break down and buy toilet paper and laundry detergent but not toothpaste. And yes I brush my teeth twice daily. Made it close on the other 2. I also had a goal to use up all the random bottles of shampoo in my shower and not buy a single bottle while he was gone for 3 months! Let just say, GOAL ATTAINED! Yee Haw! I was in organizational mode. Organizing all I could with a demanding little guy on my leg. Things got organized. I threw out Mike's kidney stone he was saving for some study the hospital was doing. Gross. I threw out, I moved, I married things and I made it look all better. It felt good. There is more to do. But what felt even better was my goal to lose weight. I had a goal of 10 pounds before he came home. I was working out but struggling with the diet part. I joined weight watchers in February and things started clicking. Better habits were being made and guess what! Yep, you said it, GOAL ATTAINED!!! I lost 12.5 pounds from the day I started weight watchers until the day I left Virginia on our journey to see Mike! That is the goal I am most proud of! My clothes were so much more comfortable for traveling and sight seeing! So nice to not feel like a stuffed sausage. And feelling good to see my husband was a plus! So...I've been playing but it is about time to set some more goals and get a little bit more serious, at least in the diet department. Mike's departure date for the big deployment is approaching fast! I want to set and attain many goals in the year he is gone! But I promise I will buy toilet paper and shampoo. No worries...
