(ok, I didn't turn out any skinnier but, it was still a good month)
I thought this month would be easy, if not easy at least uncomplicated. It hasn't been. There are some things that we've done really well at and I'm glad we made the goal of doing. We've been eating more beans - much to Jason's dismay. We've been spending more family time together - which has been great and really rewarding. Monday nights have been fun and funny come up with lessons/activities that keep the kids attention for 5 or 10 minutes. I've been turning the TV off more and have finished reading at least 4 books this month.
There's just one thing - money. I admit it, I have a really hard time being master of my budget. I need help, maybe some intensive brain washing would help. Well, it's been good to see where my weaknesses really are. Now I can face them and put more effort into conquering them.
To sum it up: Not a success but not a failure. A great exercise and one that I've learned a lot from. I hope Chile runs it again next year!
A friend of mine asked me: "Since February is a month of doing with out or giving up, will March be a month of adding in the good?" I think she's on to something! Anyone interested in a 'More March' challenge? Or maybe a 'Beefing It Up' or we could tread lightly on the animals and say 'Stepping It Up'? I think that's what we'll try around here. (no more spending though!!!) I'll be posting in a few days what we'll be Stepping Up on or having More of.
