February Progress Report

Whoa. Is it really March already? Ugh, Billy's new job left us living the "single mom" life for the majority of February. But! It kept our gas expenses at $20. Just $20! It's crazy! After spending $350 a month on gas when he was commuting, I was shocked to see that tally. Unbelievable. I had $100 set aside! Woot! We are planning a big shopping trip soon so that'll take a lil' but still. Anyway, here's the results of February:

By March 31 I want to:

Be under $20K in credit card debt ~ Achieved! Boo-yah!
With a big fat tax refund, a higher salary, and a bonus we knocked this one and the next one out like nothing! We paid off two credit cards- Kinetico, which was the water filtration system, and Target which was what we lived off of after Bee was born. And Capital One is almost paid off. Squee! Granted it's painful to see all that money go to debt. Yuck! Nevertheless, it is a huge incentive to NEVER EVER EVER be in this situation ever again. We are paying for it in spades.

Implement the chore chart ~ Needs improvement... >_<
I honestly don't know if this will be achieved by the end of this month. I think since we already achieved a goal for next quarter I might kick this one down into second quarter goals. I did look at the chore chart... so I guess that's something.

Start health goals ~ Adequate progress
Yup, so far I've implemented: brushing twice a day (achieved), flossing regularly (just started), eating at regular intervals (adequate progress- only a few crazed binges), lotion on my feet (doing well), taking a vitamin daily (needs improvement)

By June 30 I want to:

Be under $17K in credit card debt ~ Achieved!
See above. ^_^

Implement a freezer cooking day ~ Not yet introduced

Be at or under my pre-pregnancy weight ~ Adequate progress
Starting health goals has led to a little headway with this one- getting my eating under control has led to approximately six pounds lost. Starting next week, the goal is to exercise three days a week... *sigh* the hard part... But my body and soul have been horribly neglected over the last 7.5 years... I'm baby stepping to self love yet again. ^_^
