Good Friday morning to you, reader. Early mornings this week are starting to feel like fall, which is my favorite time of the year.
I've been lacking on posts that aren't progress updates. Maybe that will improve, maybe not.
This week had some heavy hitters that were outside normal spending - I dipped into the "emergency" savings to fix my wheel situation, which ended up being a $352 after buying the new wheel, two new tires, and getting an alignment. Nice to have a little cash sitting there ready to take care of the issue, which highlights the importance of having an emergency fund while paying down debt. I'll have to restock that in the near future.
L and I also took the girls out to dinner with us while we celebrated our anniversary. That eclipsed the budget line for entertainment/recreation, and that's ok. It was a great evening.
Next week will be the end of another 30 day budget cycle, where I'll show progress charts. I've broken my progress up into two pots - non mortgage debt and mortgage debt. These seem to be the two biggest milestones along the way.
Minimal fitness - I wanted to boost my mileage up a bit this week, but only ran 9.6 miles this week. The next two weeks will be dedicated to lower calories, slower activity, and stretching as I make a run at losing the final 5 pounds to hit my weight loss goal for our challenge at work. I've hit a bit of a slow down with weight loss.
I hope you're doing well. Enjoy the weekend.
