Personal-
1. Blogging– Post 20 per month. Fail. This is post number 14. Stress, stress and busy are my reasons.
2.Weight Loss– 175#. I managed to lose 8 of the pounds that I gained between Disney and Christmas so I guess this is a start.
3. Spiritual– Spend at least 5 days a week, reading and studying The Bible. Goal Met. I have made huge strides this month and plan to continue.
Small steps of improvement mean really long term change.
Financial-
1. Set aside money each month in every budget category. Fail-even with our income tax return. February has been a most expensive month
2. Establish and maintain Emergency Fund- Fail.
3. Groceries: Goal is for $700. SUCCES- Total spending for the month is $509! So I am at this point spending 50% less than I budgeted. I really thing is an area that I am going to be able to control much better this year. Part of the reason is monthly menu planning.
4. Gas: Spend $400 a month- Fail. We had to purchase tires for my van and a small repair to the car.
5. Pay off all Credit Card debit by December 2016- Fail. Our overall debt increased by $800 this month.
Not exactly the wonderful report I had hope to give but I am being honest.
