Blogging:\u00a0 Goal: 14 per month<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0This is actually post\u00a018, I\u00a0may actually have to up the goal next year!\u00a0\u00a0 Goal MET!<\/p>\n

Weight: Goal: \u00a0Met and maintain weight of 175. This goal will be considered met each month that weight loss is achieved and once this weight is achieved, each month maintained is considered achieved.\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong>Struggling still.. I have been able to exercise at least 1 day a week in September but am hoping to get that up to 3 or more for the month of October and November. I have read that you can walk 10 miles a day at Disney and I don’t want to be tired and miss anything.<\/p>\n

Spiritual-\u00a0<\/strong> Goal. I want to spend time reading and or studying the Bible at least 5 days a week for the year.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 Goal MET! This is making a huge difference in my days and I am planning to stay on track with this!<\/p>\n

Financial Goals-
\n1.\u00a0 Full Fund the budget each month.\u00a0\u00a0 Goal MET!<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Emergency Fund to $2000.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>Met.<\/strong> Added $100!\u00a0 Goal met\u00a04 months in a row!<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Groceries: <\/strong><\/strong>Reduce Grocery spending to $300 for the month. <\/strong>I am going to consider this goal met. We actually spent $335 for the month!\u00a0 This is huge for us and actually helped to fund the budget as well!<\/p>\n

4. Gas: Spend $400 a month .\u00a0Goal Met! <\/strong>We have actually spent $404 for the month but this includes $200 of preventive\u00a0work\u00a0\u00a0on Matt’s van and a quick repair to the car. I am so excited because the plan for October is to use any extra to pay on our trip and this should actually allow us to use the regular budget in November to cover our gas cost.<\/p>\n

5. Eating out- <\/strong> tracking purposes only 217.52. A HUGE ($200) decease from previous months.\u00a0 I am excited to see we can control this amount!<\/p>\n

Disney- GOAL MET! <\/strong><\/p>\n

September turned out to be the most successful month for us in a long\u00a0 time. I am so excited to post this update but am also looking at the month of October. We will not be able to keep the grocery budget as low as we did in September and we have to finish paying on our Disney trip.\u00a0 I have already worked out a plan to cover everything that is required for the month but it will dip in savings and leave a huge chunk of things unfunded for the month.\u00a0 I am really struggling not to let October put a damper on the huge success September was, so I am going to end on that note.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
