the weather has been really warm here still so i'm in total denial that summer is 100% over, and we're getting close to winter. i'm also in major denial that the year is almost over.
SEPTEMBER was FOCUS on health
1. lift weights 2x/week-i missed a couple of days, but i did pretty well. i lift on tues/thurs.
2. run 1x/week besides saturday long runs-wednesday is sprint on the treadmill day
3. continue 21 day reset maintenance (food prep, 1 cheat day/week, whole grains, fruits/vegetables)-i started out great and went downhill. i need to recommit to this one
although my overall goal is being healthy, i definitely hope to lose some pounds. my reward for meeting this goal is going to be paying myself cash for each goal i accomplish each week.i didn't stick with my reward system at all. even though it wasn't an official goal, i tried to work on sleeping a little more. sometimes that means i don't make it to the gym, but i know sleep is also an important part of health.
OCTOBER is FOCUS on finances
lately i feel like i have been spending a lot of money on who knows what. i need to keep better track of where my money is going.
1. write down all money spent starting today (i should have started oct 1, but i didn't)
2. pay for all drinks (soda) in cash ($30 cash budget for drinks for the month. i did this in the past and have gotten out of the habit.)
3. save a little each week in cash (per the challenge from elder durrant in lds general conference to save a little each week and also ponderize-focus on a verse of scripture.
did you pick a word for 2015? how are your goals going?
I loved reading about your September and October goals; they are completely inspiring. I will greatly benefit from taking some of your goals, and I love your drink budget you give yourself.
ReplyDeleteI didn't pick a word this year, and I'm doing okay on all of my goals except health... OOPS!
ReplyDeleteI love that you mentioned the saving from Elder Durrant's talk. that's something my husband and I have decided to do. We usually save every paycheck. But now, every sunday we plan to look at our finances and decided how much to transfer to savings. ALSO, I love your idea for $30 budget for drinks in cash. I need to start using cash for more things.
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool that you choose an area of your life to focus on every month! I typically create a few goals for educational, personal, and my blog :) These are great goals to have!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the snack and drink spending...that's hard for us as well!
