And yet again, here I am after a long absence. While I haven't been blogging, I've still been working hard to accomplish my goals!
In the last 10 weeks, I've lost 14.8 lbs. Now, I know that doesn't seem like much, but because I've been wanting to lose weight and improve my health for quite some time now, this is a big accomplishment for me. I started the Weight Watchers program at work - and I'm really enjoying the plan. While there are moments that are difficult to stay on the plan, those are few and far between. Since the program is at work, I have the support of my coworkers, and that has made all the difference as well.
My hope is that in just a few weeks, I can write a blog post about having lost 20 lbs! It might take several more weeks, but as long as I'm making consistent progress every week, I'm happy and proud of my accomplishments.
And what else have we (husband and I) been working toward? I'm proud to say that we've paid off our credit card! It look several months of being quite frugal with our expenses, but we made it happen. We still have one more credit card (a store credit card) with a balance, but this will be paid off at the end of this month! We just started aggressively pursuing this goal in January - so if you ask me, paying off two credit cards in 5 months isn't too shabby!
From there - we need to decide which financial goal is our priority. One of our cars is scheduled to be paid off in April 2016 - so we could choose to work toward paying this off even earlier. Or, we could focus on building up our savings since our car will be paid off in a short time anyway. Either way - we are making excellent progress toward our financial goals and we are proud of those accomplishments.
It's also time for us to sit down and revamp our budget. We have now owned our home for one year, so we really have a better idea of the monthly expenses Now that we've gone through all four seasons in our home, we can develop a pretty consistent and accurate budget!
Anyway, that's all for now. It's time to get to work (at my job and with accomplishing my goals!).
