I am disappointed with how much we spent on groceries this month. I thought we had cut back much more than we actually have. Still spending too much at the corner shop - 13 visits this month so thats better, but still too much. We used $20 in survey vouchers, $30 CC points and saved $73.26 on groceries.

Health
I'm so pleased with my exercise and diet this month! We walk regularly at 5.30am and I've upped my veggies and decreased the junk food with good results.
- weight: 90.2 - loss of 2.9kgs = 6.4lbs
- walked 162 kms = 100 miles
Work
I'm doing much better at keeping a good work/life balance since I went back, saying 'no' more often. I earned $100 in extra work (outside of my job) this month and may have a contract for more of this work soon.
Home
We installed the outside blinds on half the windows and it really helped lower the temperature inside. We have not done any more work on the yard and the decluttering.

Good job with the early exercise and the work-life balance - that's always at the very top of my priority list!
5.30am is a beautiful time to be awake - I keep planning on going running in the morning, but 5.30am has become my youngest son's new wake-up time, and I just love hanging out with him in the mornings before work :)
thanks :) I love being up early in the mornings, its the best time of the day. enjoy this time with your son, it goes by so fast!
