Holding Myself Accountable - Chapter 1

My life has been sort of up in the air these past few months, and as a result of the lack of structure, I've also lacked in goals and motivation. I wake up, I eat, I work if I'm scheduled, and I go home. It's all become a rather monotonous standstill in which I dream and postulate all the things I want to accomplish "someday".
It took a rather traumatizing trip to the mall for me to realize that things cannot carry on this way. In the past two years I've become the most unhappy with myself ever and I'm determined to change that one day at a time. #ABeansFitnessJourney (???)
So here are my body goals:

• Start Small: As of right now, the only gym I have access to is the university gym, and unfortunately it's kind of out of the way, and parking is expensive, so I'll start by doing smaller at home activities, primarily utilizing the empty spare room to do various exercises in the morning.
• Lift!: I will be aiming to get a gym membership and spend at least 5 days a week dedicating myself to becoming a proper gym rat with fitness selfies and everything to show off the toned body I'm desperate to have
• Meals: I just did a huge healthy grocery shop with my roommate last night, so no more excuses. I will drink one glass of apple cider vinegar concoction every morning with a healthy breakfast of yogurt, granola, and fruit. One day a week will be dedicated to satisfying my cravings within moderation. I am going to learn to love kale. Love. It. (*dies inside*)

Financially, I'm also a wreck. So here is my plan to be less of a financial disaster and more savvy with my money. AKA How I intend to stop living paycheck to paycheck for the first time, like, ever. #adult

• All my tip money will be saved (minus this impromptu trip to the grocery store last night) while my paychecks will be used sparingly.
• Immediate things that need to be taken care of: Phone, misc bills,  insurance, and registration (i.e. paying all those stupid tickets)
• What I'm saving for: 
• Moving out of the ghetto: $1200 by July for first and last for a decent place to move into with my boyfriend, friend and his girlfriend.
• A NEW VEHICLE! This past year has been one heartbreaking disaster after another and as much as I love my car, she deserves to be retired. Obviously financing a vehicle will be the only way I can get a newer-ish one so saving for however buying a new vehicle is a priority within the year.
• Travel: School has taken a bit of a backseat ever since I moved out. It's kind of unrealistic for me to work part-time and go to school even with loans. So I figure until I am ready to jump back into the student life, I want to go to Scotland. I'm aiming to spend/save $5000-$7000 by next summer so I can cross it off my bucket list. Let's face it, Scotland is the reason why I have a bucket list in the first place.
• To be FREE: I'm very very very tired of stressing over money. I've cried too many times over it and it's exhausting. I want to be free of both worry and stress and not have to worry if I'll have enough money to pay rent or insurance or buy groceries. And what I have to sacrifice in order to barely live.

And that's it for today. I'm going to try and chug down the rest of this apple cider vinegar and work some more on my fictional writing next. Have a good day and until next time...
