The other challenges facing me are my financial situation and my knees. During the move, I got behind on payments for one of my credit cards that isn't on automatic payment. I'm current now, but need to wait to apply for loans until the payment shows up on my credit report. (I suppose that I don't blame creditors for not wanting to lend money to someone with a past due account.)

So I'm trying to save money as much as possible. However, it seems that I don't stop buying books even when I'm tight on cash; I just buy cheaper books -;) (I really should check out the Fresno library.)

My knees are killing me. Part of the reason is that I gained some weight during the move. I'm trying to get in the habit of eating dinner at home. Right now, I've been eating leftovers from lunches, but I've picked up some ingredients for stir-fry and also want to use my nice clean crockpot (thanks, Mom!) Basically I'm looking for ways to do "fast" food from home. Eventually I'm planning to eat lunch at home too.

I also need to get access to a leg press machine. I need to find out how expensive one of the local gyms is month-to-month. I found a home version of a leg press machine that isn't too expensive, but I don't have the money for it and won't have room for it until I clear out more boxes. It might not be a bad idea to get one in the future so that I can use it even when I don't have time for any other exercise.
