I could be inspired to post or just get too busy,we shall see.<\/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><\/p>\n<p><strong>Groceries: <\/strong>Continuing to make huge gains in this year. 4 month in a row that I am under budget!!! The next huge step for me will be to go to cash only for groceries. This will mean that I have to spend the grocery money more evenly. I am thinking this will make things so much easier to track once I get it started!\u00a0 With us travelling this month so therefore not eating at home for an entire week, I am going to reduce this spending to $500 for November.<\/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>:God answered prayer. We have learned that Matt will be receiving a pension payment December 1st. This will place us in a much more stable financial position as well as allow us to pay off several credit cards. I will share what we are able to accomplish with this after it happens. In addition. Matt is also working on a possible 2 additional website!<\/p>\n<p><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><\/p>\n<p><strong>Weight: <\/strong>I have\u00a0continued to exercise at least 1x a week. The crud got use several weeks so no really changes on the sch\u00a0Hopefully 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><em><\/em>In October, I\u00a0did not met\u00a0as many goals as I have in the past. The month seemed to drag on as things went off course but I am starting new today for November! As you can probably guess, things are looking up for us financially and with a visit to family in the near future, positive attitude is a good thing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blogging:\u00a0 12 post for the month of October.\u00a0Just got really busy.\u00a0 Starting on a good foot this month so I only have 14 more post to do!
