And finally I'm ready with my March goals...

Pin It I know, it's already the 5th of March, and I'm yet to post my March goals. The thing is -I wanted to discuss some of them with my Hubby. It's still a very long and painful process to try to get him involved in our financial situation but we are getting there with some baby steps. For this month I decided to combine challenges from two of my friends. First, Carla at My 1/2 Dozen Daily has a "TAKE THREE" challenge. It's sounds perfect to me! So these are our goals:

1. FINANCE
a) Our main goal is to stay within a budget and pay off as much of medical bills as possible with the least amount of damage to our EF. We have 3 different doctor's appointments this month, a bill from last month and a bill from November of last year. Oh, man...
b) Finally file our taxes. We pretty much got all papers ready and we have an appointment with a tax guy (girl) on Friday.
c)Put all our expenses in our Excel budget file and have weekly money meetings with my husband.

2. DECLUTTERING
a) List stuff on KSL and Craigslist. I can't believe I post this goal again here but yeah, 3rd month in a row we are "planning" to sell some of our things.
b) Go through kids' clothes and maternity stuff. I need to get summer stuff ready and see what we need. Also one of our local churches has a baby sale where you can buy and sell stuff, so I want to try to sell there.
c) Organize our closet. Especially Hubby's side. Enough said...

3.PERSONAL.
And here's where my biggest challenge comes in. I joined my dear friend at Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard  with her EAT RIGHT CHALLENGE. I want to try to make better choices, take my vitamins daily and drastically reduce the consumption of sugary treats...I also want to exercise more. I have a reason for it. My Hubby and I were invited to a semi-formal occasion on March, 30. It's a dress occasion and I own plenty of Church dresses but not a single formal one. At least, I didn't until last Friday. But now I do. I got one from Target last time I was there. I tried to get a picture but my camera truly sucks:

 It was on clearance. It's beautiful burgundy color and they even had it in my size. Or so I thought. The thing is-it runs a size smaller, and even though I can fit in it, well, it doesn't fit exactly how I would love it to look on me. So I need to get into a better shape and lose at least 4 lbs and an inch on my waist. In 25 days. I really took a leap here by purchasing it (with Hubby cheering me by my side...) but they didn't have any sizes that I could wear, and it was 80% off. I know I can do it. I know I can...(breathing heavily here)... Oh, wish me luck!
