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&#8217;t have the time or anything to say!<\/p>\n<p><em> Goal: 15 per month<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Devotions:<\/strong> On track again this month! Definitely now need to increase the goal next year! God is AWESOME!<\/p>\n<p><em>Goal is 3 a week.<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Groceries:<\/strong> 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!!!!!<\/p>\n<p><em> Grocery Budget is set at $800 per month, this includes diapers, cleaning supplies, food and toiletries.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><strong>Financially<\/strong>: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&#8217;s website business.<em> \u00a0<\/em>Hopefully by the end of the year we can set realistic goals and be in a stable financially position. <em>Goal: To <a id=\"_GPLITA_1\" title=\"Click to Continue &gt; by Vid-Saver\" href=\"http:\/\/www.coffeefreakdesigns.com\/teenstotsandeverythinginbetween\/?m=20120902#\">be Debt free<\/a> 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!<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Weight: <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n<p><em>Goal to exercise 3x a week and to be down to 150 by December by losing around 4 # a month. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>As I had project September was a very difficulty month both financially and physically for me. I don&#8217;t think that October will be easier but at least it will be about the same. We are really seeking God&#8217;s guidance in the area of finances at this point, pray with us please!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blogging: \u00a0I am going to admit that I have really been pushing things this week to meet\u00a0 the goal, but with this post I have met this goal again!\u00a0 3 months in a row!
