Goal: Unclutter before moving out of my apartment at the end of the month and continue moving towards a more minimalist lifestyle once the month is over. Basically I want get rid of stuff by selling, giving away and throwing out before the whole moving process.

Motivation:Less stress from just having too many things. Having more free time. Making more money by selling things on eBay and Craigslist. Making myself accountable by posting updates in my blog and on the challenge forums.

Accountability: To keep myself accountable I will try to post updates daily about my progress and any planning.

Progress Today:
I eliminated over a third of my books. The remainder is packed into boxes already.

First Day of Training
I just got back from the first day of my training for the mountain bike races in fall. I still don’t have a solid schedule together but today I made some progress riding on road and sand (Blanchard Park, Gemini and the Arboretum Trails):
Distance 12.25 Miles
Time: 1 hours 3 minutes 11 seconds
Avg. Speed: 11.5 MPH
Max. Speed: 28 MPH

I’ve never gone 28MPH on the road on my mountain bike before….it was amazing. I almost thought my bike was going to fall apart with how fast I was going. I was passing some people and I think I screamed at them. Oh…did I mention that my bike was out of tune and I couldn’t take advantage of my biggest chairing?
