This month I am joined in my thirty days challenge by my wonderful husband, who is also the designer of this month's challenge. I have to say that I am thrilled to have him join the fun, and would have jumped on board with just about anything he suggested. My ultimate goal in pursuing these thirty days goals is to take small steps towards a more rich and beautiful life-- and who better to share it than the guy with whom I want to spend that long, rich and beautiful life...
So, this month, we are focusing on the physical-- and doing push ups. A baseline last night, and then 10-20 a day for the month. Baseline for me is 13, for Nat is 30. We'll see how many we can do on the 31st! I may have to take arm measurements...
You may be wanting an update on September's austerity budget challenge? All told, a success. I ended the first three weeks with about 12 dollars to spare each time. Then totally blew it on the last two days as there were 3 kids' resales to attend on Saturday and I was forced to spend my entire week's budget in one morning. Forced, I tell you.
Okay. So I have a substance abuse problem. My name is Amanda and I am addicted to budget priced kids' clothing....
But-- on the upside, I think that I can continue my budget, with some slight allowances here and there. Much as I've continued the sugar ban, with modifications. I'm going to try, this year, to take a piece of each thirty days with me. To see what the cumulative effect of all this careful mindfulness might be. It may just make me very very busy. Or it may change my life. We shall see.
