1000 Item Challenge Day 28

We've made it to the one-month mark (or four weeks exactly). At this rate it will take about three months to complete the challenge. Right about the time I do Ironman, which is pretty cool in a way. In fact, I like the idea of wrapping this up at the same time I wrap up Ironman that I'm going to publicly put that date out there. By the time I race on Sunday July 23rd I will have discarded 1000 items. (Even though it gets harder and harder each day. Sigh.)

So, today's anti-haul:

Skirt (From my early-20s clubbing days - kept it for costumes but wouldn't be able to squeeze into it if I wanted to.)
Eye cream - I have like 3 jars of the stuff, never use it (although I should), and I bought this in COLLEGE. EW.
Wax paper. Almost NEVER use it. So WHY did I have two rolls of it?
Magazine
Petromalt treats that expired...in 2006. EW EW EW.
Pillowcase
4 photos
Heel guard for a foot problem I haven't had in 10 years
3 unidentifiable pills found at the bottom of a cabinet

Today's Total: 14 items

Overall Total: 338 items

1000 Item Day 57 - Back from Ironman

Hello! The past two weeks were too crazy to do more than just throw the occasional item in the "get rid of" pile. Not only was I getting ready for Ironman, I had two huge projects thrown on my plate at work, I had to take a day trip to Boston, AND I had to spend a weekend sherpa-ing my boyfriend through a race of his own. Phew! So glad I'm going on vacation in a couple weeks - I need it! Anyway, back to the grind, at least until I leave for Seattle. This is so much a "haul from today" as catching up on stuff I piled up. This week I'm hoping to get back into the groove with decluttering and create that capsule wardrobe. Pajama shorts Running singlet Running dress Mason jar Contacts case 2 Paint stirrers 2 Pieces of paperwork Running hat 2 Screws Today's Total: 12 items Overall Total: 712 items

1000 Item Challenge Day 41

Another day scrounging around for that ten-item minimum, but got it done.: Race bib (I usually keep these but I actually won an award and already have the plaque on the wall.) Newspaper (Yes, it was cool to keep the paper from the Sox's first World Series win in over 80 years, but...I never even look at it. Maybe this makes me a bad Bostonian, but out it goes.) 3 Photos 2 Screws (Really scrounging the bottom of that formerly overflowing Junk Drawer that was stuffed with hardware.) Jewelry...bag, I guess you'd call it? Hoodie Pendant Today's Total: 10 items Overall Total: 520 items
