- Continue reading for Erin's 7.0 Book Challenge (7/1-10/31)
- upload and organize photos from my phone
- Organize music on computer
- Try 5 new recipes 3/5: Monterrey Chicken Skillet, Broccoli Mac n cheese, Creamy Tomato and Spinach Pasta
- get screen door fixed (for real this time! This has been on my list for approx a year!)
- research credit card options
- apply for a credit card
- schedule a Veterans pick-up
- Poshmark: set up mannequin, take pics, sell $100 (keeping this low so it's easier to accomplish, but more would be better!) - $60
- Participate in Jenn's Fall Film Challenge - you can see my picks here. 17/25
6/10... not too shabby! I'm giving myself a half-pass on trying new recipes and Poshmark because while I reach the intended end goal, at least I made a conscious effort. I'm most proud of myself for getting a credit card though. My credit has been crap since I was 18 (long story), so getting my score up to a point where I was able to get a credit card was a pretty big deal for me. This month is about finishing things I started, or projects that remain unfinished, and decluttering in two main areas: my kitchen and my bedroom. I've been too lax about getting rid of stuff in my closet, and have been buying too many pantry goods. I need to stop and purge!
October Goals
- Fix screen door (for real this time! This has been on my list for approx a year!)
- Get rid of 50 Items
- Continue Erin's 7.0 Book Challenge. I know I won't finish it, as I'm not one to read 4 books in one month, but I'd like to get closer.
- Finish Jenn's Film Challenge- only 8 more to go before the Bonus Round starts on 10/15!
- Grocery Challenge (inspired by Steph):
- Clean out fridge/freezer
- Clean out pantry
- $50 max on grocery/household purchases
- track eating
What are some of your goals this month?

I signed up for Jenn's challenge and haven't even started. :(
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your October goals! I need to be way more intentional & smart with my grocery shopping.
ReplyDeleteMan I need to get my act together on Poshmark. I'd really like to sell some items there too. I'm super impressed with doing both the book and film challenge! That is awesome!

I think you did a great job with your Sept goals. I'm sure you will do even better with your October goals. I'm trying to eat more at home and really should do meal planning. Some times I'm so tired, I just get take out but its not healthy and its expensive.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I am so terrible at this but I should really start setting some monthly goals for myself!
ReplyDeleteGrocery shopping budgeting drives me insane. I feel like I am buying less and less but still coming out spending the same. Why do things go up so much?? I think you did great on your goals and congrats on the credit card!
ReplyDeleteYou are killing the movie challenge! I want to do a grocery challenge too! I say as I'm headed to Costco this morning... Haha! Getting rid of 50 items is a good goal too!
ReplyDeletegood job on making an effort - sometimes i think that trying or making progress is just as important as actually accomplishing the goals. maybe it's because i rarely actually make an effort so i'm trying to make myself feel better lol. good luck with your october goals!
ReplyDeleteI love how specific your goals are. I try... but sometimes... it's a struggle for me to make them more specific. I'm late in seeing this, but I have a friend who does LuLaRoe and she got some paper that looks like wood and put it on her wall behind her mannequin and it is AMAZING. It looks real and makes her photos look super good. Just a thought for someday. If you want, LOL. Um, I am super intrigued by this grocery thing. We spend SO MUCH MORE than that on groceries. Always. Yikes!!! But I'm looking at Steph's post.. and we honestly have a pretty bare pantry/fridge/freezer. Maybe I need to re-stock my basics and go from there. :) I have 3.5 left for Erin's 7.0 and I think I can finish. I just haven't been in the mood to read any of those books. LOL XO - Alexandra
ReplyDeleteSimply Alexandra: My Favorite Things
I'd love to try the $50 max on grocery/household shopping. I swear, I buy the same things over and over but we must have about 10 boxes of pasta in the pantry that we never touch. And frozen fruits/veggies that seemed like a good idea, but then I never did anything with them. Anyway, I need to clear it all out.
ReplyDeleteGreat goals for October, and I wish you all the best of luck momma! XOXO
Good job on your September goals. I'm tracking my eating this month too, well my goal is to get a full week of tracking in.
