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!
September budget in place

You may call it "starting up" again, but hey, it's still working out! 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!
