September Goals Revisited

ByLisa Jayne 



Back in the beginning of September I blogged about my goals for the month, with a few little things I wanted to achieve. Now that it’s the beginning of October I thought I’d revisit the goals I set myself to see how I did. 
Go to the gym three times a week
I managed to half achieve this one, sometimes I’d make it three times a week, other times I’d only make it twice. I’m still a regular gym goer so I guess that counts!
Finish my 5K mud run
I’m so pleased with myself that I managed to do this one! A few months ago I couldn’t even run, so the fact I managed to even do this was a big achievement. I did however struggle a bit with some of the obstacles during the run, and did lose my shoes about 4K in, but I finished!
 
Eat healthier
I’ve recently been trying to lose a little weight, and in September I signed up to Slimming World, so I’ve definitely been starting to eat a lot healthier. 
 
Read two books 
I only managed to read one book during September, but that’s one more than I’ve managed the month before!
 
Cook four times a week 
I’ve gone from not cooking at all, to cooking pretty much every day in September, which is helping a lot with the healthy eating!
 
Start saving for a holiday 
Chris and I have never been on holiday together so thought we’d start saving up for a holiday. We managed to save £100 in September, but then due to an unexpected bill we had to use that money so we’re now back to zero. 
Overall I’d say I managed to achieve half my goals in September, which isn’t bad going! I feel like I managed to achieve some big things, like completing my run, and cooking and eating a lot healthier, although I didn’t complete all of my goals. 
 Did you set any goals in September? How did you do?

No Spend September Update

	ByLisa Jayne					
											
					



	

		
After being the type of person who’s always poor and can’t ever save money I decided it was time to start No Spend September. Being absolutely hopeless at spending bans, and completely failing at the 100 day ban I did before I decided a 30 day ban would be a lot easier. I’m now over half…

It’s no secret that when it comes to saving money, I’m the worst person. No matter how much I try I just can’t seem to make it to the end of the month with some savings. I decided to turn over a new leaf, and September is the month to do this. I’ve decided to…

This week has been a funny old week, and I don’t really think I have many interesting things to say but I don’t want to give up my new little series so quickly. I’ve spent most of this week suffering with the worst cold ever. It started as a sore throat, and come wednesday my…

Treating My Furry Friends

	ByLisa Jayne					
											
					



	

		
It’s no secret, I love cats. I have four and I treat them like they’re my children. In fact I often carry them around and call them ‘cat babies’, much to their protesting. Because I like to care for my furry friends I thought it would be nice to treat them to a new toy. When they were…
