February was a chaotic month to say the least. I had a number of problems that I was dealing with among my friends, so blogging went by the wayside. I'm also ashamed to say I did very bad as far as budgeting goes. On the plus side, I spent last night helping my newly divorced friend who has never been on her own before create a budget for herself and it sparked a desire to better in me.
So for now we'll ignore those January goals, skip right past February and start looking at March.
Even though I've been off track, I plan to start March off with a challenge. I will be doing a No Eating Out challenge for the month of March. I will be allowing myself 3 cheat meals and 2 cheat treats. The meals are eating lunch, breakfast or dinner out and my "treats" are when I need a coffee, cocoa, or ice cream pick me up. Even my cheats may sound like a lot of eating out to most of you, but for me its still less than half of what I spent eating out last month!
So, here goes my March Goals:
1. Complete my No Eating Out Challenge
2. Read 10 books!- this is especially ambitious for me, but I'd really like to make more time for reading than I currently do
3. Sell 2 craft items
4. Finish Cleaning out old room- with the weather warming up I may be more ambitious about making the drive to my parents house to do this. We'll see.
5. Make 2 new recipes
I think I'll leave it at that for today since even that looks a little optimistic to me :)
