Okay, I’m spending our tracking for February just to see if we are overspending. We’re right now running in the red mainly because of tuition bills. Yeah, I know it’s crazy, but we really need to try and buckle down. I already know I need to fill my car up with gas, and I’m going to use CC to track everything. Hopefully I can get DH to eat out of the pantry a lot, but our spending usually occurs on the weekend when we go grocery shopping. I am also doing this because I need to lose again the 30 lbs I lost and gained back last year.

Do I have goals? Lose 5 lbs this month, eat out less than 8 times this month (DH already has an extremely expensive hockey game he’s going to, rink side seat), and hopefully no extra dog expenses. I will probably have to track back every few days. This will be eye opening because I know we’re not huge spenders, but maybe I can be even more lean than usual. The toughest part is cash, because where we live cash is a used a lot.
