Financial goals: May has been a month to re-evaluate, change and move forward on this goal. My plan is to start at least bi-weekly updates on our budget to keep us focused forward and to share real world numbers.

• Pay off Lawn mower by March 2014, so no interest is charged. Only made the minimal payment this month but  this is a new focus so hopefully, I can catch up and pay this off my December.
• Pay off all outstanding debt except the mortgage by June– Changing this to December.
• Emergency fund to $2000–  I was able to get the fund up to $500. I am content to let it sit at this mark and slow increase as the debt goes away.
• Maintain a budget using a form of the envelope system – Still working well!
• Groceries: Spend $600 or less a month Goal met. I am not counting our trip to Costco on Friday night or the Zaycon food order in May but both will be counted in June. We are actually $20 under for the month!
• Gas- I am adding this category. The goal each month is to spend $450 or less for gas.  We spent $400 this month. Starting in June, any left over amount will be moved to the Auto fund. This is basically a repair/maintenance fund in place because the vehicles we own are older and repairs are expected.

Blogging:  Goal: 15 per month I have 13 post for May. My plan was to post this last night but it just did not happen so something to work on.  Still have not met this goal for the year but will continue to keep working toward it.

Devotions: Goal is 5 a week   Goal Met! I am really enjoying my morning time.

Weight: Goal to exercise 3x a week and to be down to 150 by December by losing around 4 # a month.. This continues to be a daily struggle for me.
