Happy September! Is anyone else as ready for fall as I am? Summer is my favorite season but there’s one thing I can’t live another day without, and that’s the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks! 🙂 I unlocked mine early last week and felt like a total bamf while doing so. Another month has gone by and it went so fast I can hardly believe it. Here’s a recap of my goals for the month (painful as they may be!)
Thankful Thursdaypass. Two out of four isn’t bad, right?- Live according to a budget HAHAHAHAHAHA
Do four secret shopscheck- Pay $900 to debt fail because of the brakes
- Sell five things fail, but sold three
Get my brakes changedcheck and ouch- Go wine tasting fail
Read four bookscheck. I read The Fault in Our Stars, Looking for Alaska, and An Abundance of Katherines, all by John Green, and Struck By Lightning by Chris Colfer.- Run 60 miles (EEP)
Get some new wardrobe staples to supplement current closet, spend under $150 (I’m now going through three outfits every morning before I find something that fits well enough to wear to work. Weight loss problems.)check. I bought some new clothes but returned most of them. I can live with 5 outfits, right?Apply to two jobscheck
Going wine tasting was that summer thing that was on our list that we just never got around to – there’s always one, isn’t there? And even though I tracked my spending religiously, I just failed over and over. I think the thing I am proudest of this month is that I started really doing long runs. The first one I did at 6 miles took me 90 minutes, and then the next week I went for 7 in 87 minutes. I don’t understand the logic here but I’m going to take it 🙂
- Continue tracking food and spending
- Only go out to eat twice
- No added trips
- Save $500 for Disney
- Finish a 5k in 35 minutes
- Sign up for Richmond 8k
- Run 70 miles
- Pay $800 to debt
- Engage in two complaint-free days (this is going to really take some planning on my part)
What are your goals this month? What’s your favorite part of fall – are you with me on the PSL train?
I have a ton of things to do but I really need to clean out my closet & reorganize it, put summer clothes away in a bin ( even though I could technically still wear them until next month, good ole Phoenix!) , apply for a scholarship for work and save $500 for NYC! Good luck this month!
