Week 5 (week 4)

Week 4: recap
Room: Living Room: was more on top of it then usual, still have a ways to go!
Health: Eat 2 fruit and/or veggie servings at dinner, definately way better! almost everytime.
Time Management: Keep track of how spend time for a week, whoops.
Budget: Only buy what's on shopping list, or an unknown sale, did  better than usual, but did get a few fall decor (well that was 50% so a sale....)

Week 5: was supposed to start last week.... but crazy busy and while i've worked on getting cupboards organized, and cut down on sweetened drinks, but still keeping this week for another week lol.
Room: Kitchen-unseen

• Clean cupboards (inside)
• go through and get rid of dishes never use, move seldom used to cupboard above fridge
• go through pantry, get rid of any old/won't use
• scrub fridge and freezer

Health:  Only one drink with added sweetener (not counting juice etc with natural sugar)

Time Management:  Only 3 hours of sit down media (before was only TV)

Budget:  turn off lights, and unplug things when not being used

The kitchen is one of the rooms i'm always behind on, and have to start in the cupboards 1st!  have been cutting down on candy etc.  but somedays way too much pop or sweetened coffee drinks, and those add up!  have been more concious of my media time, but still waste too much time on it.  Turning off lights etc, isn't too hard, and I do most of the time, but need to all of the time, electricity is my most expensive utility by far, and while I can't stop heating my house, or other necessities, I can use it more wisely!

Week 4 (Week 3 recap)

Week 3 recap- this week went pretty well, still haven't been walking charlie very much... last weeks room was playroom- didn't get it clean everyday, but did get one super good cleaning, kept the bathroom clean, hallways too for the most part.   Have been at least thinking about the 'treats' i've been eating, maybe more then 2 a day, but i'm at least paying attention to what i'm eating.  I have been paying more attention to the ammount of time i'm just sitting and watching tv and trying to be me productive while i'm sitting there (like entering reciepts, paperwork, making things for craft sale).  and for the eating out budget, i def have been way too much this week, it's been a crazy busy one, so i'll have to pay attention the next week and try to only eat at home (I did get some $1 tv dinners for those nights i'm tempted to order in, i have a super quick and easy dinner).  I have been doing better at devos, although it's been at night, but still it's better than nothing!



Room:  Living Room

• Pick up everyday
• Declutter 1x a week (saturdays)
• Sweep Daily
• Swiffer/Mop every Sunday, more if needed

Health:  Eat 2 fruit and/or veggie servings at dinner (eat a lot with kids but usually skip at dinner)

Time Management: Keep track of how spend time for a week

Budget:  Only buy what's on shopping list, or an unknown sale (only things I actually need/use!)

This week the room will defiently be the hardest yet, the LR gets trashed almost everyday from toys etc.  so it's going to take lots of discipline and time management!  I typicaly don't eat very many fruit and veggies when the kids aren't here, I tend to save them for daycare time, but eating healthy is imporant for me too!  I did get some fruit and veg (that I like) at safeway not even thinking about this weeks goals.
I'm also going to post the goals (from all weeks) on fridge, I did that the first week and it helped with motivation a lot, and after a crazy few weeks, i've definately been lacking the needed motivation!  I have also got caught up on some accounting for the year, and i'm determined to keep up with that too (will be so much easier for taxes next year!!!)
