Gone Much?

Wow its been a month and all I can say is its been busy.

School started for my girls. Third and fifth graders this year. Definitely a change in homework as they get older. All in all though they seem to be enjoying it so far. Who knows its only been a week. Already I am hearing from my fifth grader, I need a bigger backpack and new shoes. Its true, so looks like a trip to Target or Walmart is in my immediate future.

Handyman (my dear husband) and I decided to set some ground rules with our spending. We did alot this year with vacations and mini vacations. Time to stop ignoring the credit cards and get them paid off. The decision was made that if we can get them paid off by end of next year then the following year we will go to Disney. So far so good, on a cash basis with everything. No frivolous spending and less camping next summer. WIll keep you updated on how this goes.

Eating and exercise has been here and there. Seems I always slip up when we are camping. My weight has maintained. I just need to start working on more consistency so I am not bouncing around but actually losing. As you can see I do lose better when there are less carbs involved so working on that. When I did South Beach I ate one grain and one fruit a day with the rest being protein and veggies and it definitely worked so maybe I will sway in that direction more.
