September budget in place

August 21st, 2015 at 02:01 am

I figured out how to pay what I need to for the month of September, until I get my full-time paycheck at the end of the month. I won't be able to save anything in September, but at least all of my bills will be paid.

I'm so eager to move forward financially. This past year has been almost a step backwards financially. The money that I was making was going towards my tuition or towards braces for my kids. Not a whole lot of money was left over to advance the numbers, but it was used for important things nonetheless.

On a positive note, I started attending the 5:15 AM workout classes at my gym, 5 days a week. I don't know how I actually started doing this. I've been telling myself to wake up early to work out for years. Never done it. Yet this summer, I just started doing it. I think I just wanted to DO IT. To see what it was like to ACTUALLY FOLLOW THROUGH with something! I just sort of "turned off" the whiny voice in my head that wanted me to go back to bed. I knew it was there, I just, ignored it. And nothing bad happened. I get up, get dressed, make coffee, and go to my class. Boom, it's done. Here I am, 2.5 months later, still getting up and doing my classes. Go figure!

    Good for you! I've never had a fitness regimen that sticks, but I always start one up again (sometimes months or years later) after I fall out of a habit. Figure it's better to keep starting even if nothing has lasted more than a year! I'm probably going to pick back up with walking/jogging/elliptical after Labor Day.

    ceejay,
    You may call it "starting up" again, but hey, it's still working out! Smile The thing that I love about my morning workouts is that no one ever schedules a meeting or an appointment at 5am! When I worked out after work, something frequently came up to interfere with my exercise. Either that or I was so dang tired I would talk myself out of it!

    Wow - you go! I can't even imagine being awake enough to be ready for a 5:15 a.m. workout class - especially one I'd have to drive to.
