Personal-
\n1. Blogging<\/em><\/strong>\u2013 Post\u00a020 per month<\/em>.\u00a0Fail. This is post number 19. I honestly had a post in my head for yesterday but just not the energy to get out.<\/p>\n

2.Weight Loss<\/em><\/strong>\u2013\u00a0175#.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>I have used the treadmill on at least 2 a week but still. FAIL<\/p>\n

3. Spiritual<\/strong>\u2013 Spend at least 5 days a week, reading and studying The Bible. <\/em>Fail but improvement noted with 50% success for the month.<\/p>\n

It would not appear that January has been a good month because I did not achieve any of these goals. One way to look at it is that I have lots of room for improvement.<\/p>\n

Financial-\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Set aside money each month in every budget category<\/strong>. Fail-4 of the categories are without funding this month.<\/p>\n

2. Establish and maintain Emergency Fund- <\/strong>Fail.
\n3. Groceries: Goal is for $700. <\/strong>SUCCES- Total spending for the month is $199! I am so excited and surprised at how easy it was. I am going to increase the goal to $400 for February but that still stays way below the goal amount.<\/p>\n

4. Gas: Spend $400 a month-<\/strong> SUCCESS. We spent only $250 in gas this month!<\/p>\n

5. Pay off all Credit Card debit by December 2016-<\/strong> I am not exactly sure how to report on this. Matt unfortunately did lose 2 accounts in the month of January so we are not going to make stellar progress but at this point any progress is a success. So I reduce our overall credit card debit and will count this as a success.<\/p>\n

Financially, I am very proud of the month of January. We are making small\u00a0 but steady progress and just need to keep things moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n
