Federal Student Loan

Paid off the last bit of my federal student loan on Friday. I keep checking the site to see if it has posted...I can't wait until "Repayment" is replaced with "Paid in Full."

One thing done before 30.

End of 2011

I have to say...I've done pretty damn well this year.

See below for the before and after picture: Christmas 2010 is atrocious to look at!

I've deadlifted 205# this year.
I've maintained CrossFit workouts regularly.
I've participated in racquetball leagues (and, overall, enjoyed myself).
I've focused on eating Paleo/Primal since Labor Day, with some mishaps around the holidays...which I refuse to beat myself up over.

So we end 2011 on an overly positive note. Now to go into 2012 strong -- and to keep it up.

PS, My student loan was forgiven: $5,000. Happy 2011!

1 Day from 29

I'm still waiting to hear back about my student loan; I've sent them additional information, so I'm not sure how long to wait before I call and ask for an update (it's been about a week so far). My loan is at $5,990 left to pay, so $5,000 forgiven would be fabulous. And I could pay it off by the end of the year, which is even better.

Should I establish other 29 --> 30 goals besides weight and debt? A certain amount of books to read? Hikes to take? Sites to see?

A post later may come...

Also, Day 14 of Paleo = I've lost 8 pounds so far. I'm 1 pound away from where I "ended" with WW in the Spring.
