My Minimal Hoarding Life - 2019 Resolution - September Check In

Wow! A month already gone but that is life, we have to make the best of the time we have because before you know it, time has slipped passed us. Don`t put off what we can do today till tomorrow.

I make four resolutions, or goals, to accomplish each year. Some years I make it with all of them, some years I do not. Usually two are easy and two are hard.

I make a word, or phrase, of how I plan to be for the year and this year I have chosen " Dream it, Do It." I chose this because I am making my dreams come true a little at a time, the time to get them finished is now, year 2019!

Here are my 2019 resolutions :

1 - Reduce Spending By Half

Done. The only spending I did was for work materials. I also cut eating out by half.

100% accomplished.

2 - Reduce Stuff By Half

I am still working on this one, I knew it would be a slow process, after all it took a long time to get stuff.

I got finished with the garage and I threw away most all of what was there except work related items.

When I get the flower bed cleaned I will put out the last of the mulch and that will be out of the way as well.

100% accomplished.

3 - Set Up Sunshine`s Homestead Creations Store

Nope, not there just yet.

I am waiting on the thumbs up on one building, after that I can move forward. 

I have been working hard on the stock, after all you can`t open a store without content!

I am hoping my book will be available as part of the stock as well.

September I add a new line of products to the online store that I have tested over the summer. Check out what I have to offer at the online store : Sunshine`s Homestead Creations

 100% accomplished.

4 -  Cut Out Sweets - Kick diabetes ass!

After three months of the new 1200 calorie a day diet, well, its not really a diet I can eat what I want just keep it to 1200 calories and exercise more, I am doing better.

I know I should have lost a couple more pounds than I did, but I still was losing. So far I have lost 11 pounds when I should have lost about 13 pounds.

The sweets is still the problem, the craving.

However...

I no longer crave pizza and many more high calorie foods. 

I am seeing a huge improvement with the blood sugar numbers, I am not in the 130`s fasting blood sugar, down from 170`s and up.

I am trying my best to get this under control, its extremely hard.

I know I can do better so this is just 75% accomplishment.

So, that is how I am doing with my 2019 new year resolutions, how are you doing with yours?
