October 2009 Goals: My Review

Well, here’s how I did for October. Not too bad, considering I went to the island twice (once to Tofino for the long weekend and ended up buying more than necessary, and this past weekend back to my home town). I also paid $175 for car insurance and bought 6 months worth of BC instead of my regular 3 months (to avoid another dispensing fee).

October Goals:

• Work out at least 3x/week on my Wii. FAIL! Epic fail. I only worked out 2 or 3 times all month.

• Go for a hike. CHECK! We only went for 2.5 hours, but we also went for 2 long walks.

• Go rock climbing 2-3 times. FAIL! We only went out once.

• Get down to 130 lbs. FAIL! I’m still at 132-133 lbs. Which is amazing considering I haven’t really been working out AND I ate like complete crap when we were in Tofino.

• Plan Whistler ski weekend. FAIL! We haven’t been able to plan this because we didn’t know what BF’s weekend commitment schedule was. Now that we know it, we can pick a date and book the hotel.

• Plan a weekend to go home. CHECK! I went home this last weekend and it was so much fun.

• $450 into Retirement Portfolio. CHECK! I ended up saving $675. :)

• $300 into Savings Fund. FAIL! Well I emptied out my Travel Fund, so technically I put $1,164. But without taking into consideration already saved money, I only put in $164. So I consider that a fail.

• $150 into Emergency Fund. CHECK! Technically I put in $1,250 but $1,000 of that was already saved money from my Travel Fund, so I actually saved $250.

• $200 into Travel Fund. FAIL! I kind of re-distributed my monies this month, and now have a goal of $3,000 for this Fund. That being said, I only saved $50.
