Evaluation Day!

Resolutions + February pledges:

Health & Fitness     

1.     1.  Develop a daily regimen to stay fit for life!  Learn to eat like a thin healthy person.

   A) EAT - am doing a lot better!  Some simple rules & habits are getting me through.  I think my weight is beginning to stabilize.

   B) MOVE:
            

 Feb pledge:
      A* Continue health/fitness eating and moving projects (1)
               *Martial Arts class Monday
               *Dance class on Tuesday
               * Babysitting on Wed, Thu, Fri... and the wheels came off the wagon!  A change in schedule can derail the best of plans.   Due to babysitting, I missed martial arts on Wed and my dance classes on Thursday.  Friday I did some pushups to continue the arms work - so am working to keep going!
              *Race training on Saturday... 6 endurance miles. Sore hamstrings at the end - but done nonetheless!
       
       B* Develop/begin a regular core/arm strength routine (1)
              *Copied an arm program from JJ Virgin's 6 Weeks to Sleeveless and Sexy to use for a strength routine
              *Pushups on Friday; total gym pullups on Saturday

LIFE BETTERMENT

              2..   Financial betterment - reduce debt, reduce consumer spending, increase savings, increase giving, property improvement

              3. Life simplification: Organize, unclutter, streamline, purge!  
 
 Continue progress with reducing spending / saving (2)
               * Did a regular grocery trip on Monday
               * Life's schedule change eliminated any random errands - which saved money!
               *Created menus for next week using items on hand so that the grocery trip can be smaller. 
               *Began working on a basic pantry list for stock-up items to reduce spending on items we may not use.
               *Reviewed January data and discovered that I have OVERgiven and UNDERsaved..  Shhhhh.. don't tell my church leaders but I have to adjust this month and bring it back into line!
                My goals are:  5% church donation
                                     5% other charity donation
                                   10% money market savings
         with an ultimate goal of another 10% toward short-term savings (for large expenses)
