On to Month 2 of my journey!
Budget: I have been working hard at meal planning and organizing my grocery shopping and that has helped lower my grocery bill a little. I have sucessfully put a little bit of money into savings. This coming week I will tackle the cable company.
Diet: Ate well this week and have increased my time, speed and resistance on my cardio workouts and increased strength and reps on my free weight, month 2 workouts are underway.
Mood: Good overall despite the shortening days and impending season of doom.
I have a nice stretch of time ahead of me free of any planned diversions from my goals. I hope to keep my focus. I have also started expanding some of these blog posts into longer pieces, writing again (even if it is solipsistic) feels good. Thanks for all of the great notes of support!
Annmarie - just a quick comment about the cable bill...a while back I had lost my job and we were trying to cut costs. I called the cable co and told them that I wanted to downgrade to "basic" (just the regular channels) and they offered me a reduced rate on the package that we had (which was the step above that). It was for 6 months and it was quite a discount. If I remember correctly, it was something like $20/mo. So, my advice would be to call and pretend that you're looking into downgrading and see what they can do! It can't hurt - good luck!
