February came and went really quickly. Too quickly. Quite honestly, I don't know where it went. I was really sick a couple weeks ago and still have the lingering cough. We have really not been focusing on alternate streams of income right now.

I did snowflake this month and as of this morning we have snowflaked $60.42. Once the hubs gets home from picking up our new engine for the Subie I will be able to add to that. Plus anything I don't spend at the grocery store from the rest of my $92.78 budget.

I also completed one thing on my 101 things list. I found the perfect recipe for red velvet cake. I actually made cupcakes for Valentines day with cream cheese icing and they were delish!

Goals for February

Finances
Reduce debt by $1318.71 - actual $944 (due to unforseen expenses)

Try $400 grocery budget ($100 per week) - actual $307.22 but I still have shopping for today

Health
Take BJ to the dog park every Saturday - check 3 of 4 due to sickness
Continue to walk every Sunday - check 3 of 4 due to sickness

So, March something needs to turn around in several areas. Last week I actually had a great week. I worked out on the Wii four days, we took the dog to the dog park, I went walking with my friend and the hubs and I took the dog down to the pier for walking and I lost a little over 2 pounds. Not to mention the fact that I only watched the TV shows I actually like and kept my TV watching down to eight hours for the entire week. That is a significant difference. This past week we had a lot of after work commitments that prevented us from being able to keep on track.

I have discovered the Wii fit is just what I have been looking for. I feel like I get a workout and I don't get bored because I can jump from Yoga to running to strength training to step aerobics to boxing. I can do all those things for between one and five mintes a piece. In fact, you can track anything you do outside of the Wii fit on it. This makes doing something every day EASY!
