Blogging: I am going to admit that I have really been pushing things this week to meet the goal, but with this post I have met this goal again! 3 months in a row! Even if I met this for the remaining 3 months of the year. I seriously doubt I will increase the amount. It seems some days, I just don’t have the time or anything to say!
Goal: 15 per month
Devotions: On track again this month! Definitely now need to increase the goal next year! God is AWESOME!
Goal is 3 a week.
Groceries: I am actually rather confused this month on the grocery budget. One of the reason why is that I have been using cash to cover some expenses. This is not a bad thing but it just makes keeping track of the budget a bit different. Hind sight is 20/20 so in the future, my plan is to record cash spending on my budget sheet as well. I do believe that I am below budget for the month. The problem is that I am not sure if I am slightly below budget (less than $50 or way below (over 200). So I am going to be excited either way because this included our Zaycon chicken purchase of 80#. This is the 3rd month in a row that we have met budget!!!!!
Grocery Budget is set at $800 per month, this includes diapers, cleaning supplies, food and toiletries.
Financially:Officially became a full-time employee this past month. I am still not sure what that means totally for us but it is at least a start. During the past several weeks we have really been focusing on increasing/growing Matt’s website business. Hopefully by the end of the year we can set realistic goals and be in a stable financially position. Goal: To be Debt free except for mortgage by the end of the year. This was established prior to our learning of the significant financial changes that are occurring so I am trusting God to provide direction in this area. Currently we are focused on meeting budget each month!
Weight: I have met my exercise goal of 3 x a week. So this month the focus will be again to met the exercise goal and to increase my water intake to a steady 6 to 8 glasses a day. Hopefully by November this will put me back in the ones.
Goal to exercise 3x a week and to be down to 150 by December by losing around 4 # a month.
As I had project September was a very difficulty month both financially and physically for me. I don’t think that October will be easier but at least it will be about the same. We are really seeking God’s guidance in the area of finances at this point, pray with us please!
