It is the end of the month and time for my monthly goal review.
My first goal is to increase my passive income. I didn’t do anything towards that goal this month. I will do something towards this goal in October.
My second goal is to lose weight. I made decent progress on that goal this month. My weight went from 221 to 210.8. I was wanting to get it to under 210 so I would have less than 10 pounds a month to lose for the rest of the year. This was a pretty good result though. I knew I would easily lose weight while in Central America. Now that I am back home I have to make sure I continue the weight loss.
My third goal is to increase the number of RSS subscribers to 500. I made a little progress on this goal with a high of 452 subscribers compared to a high of 448 last month. This was despite not posting often and having mostly short posts. If I manage to start writing better posts I should be able to get the subscriber count up to 500.
I once again made progress on two out of three of my goals. I have been neglecting my passive income lately so I will make it a priority this month. There won’t be any excuse for not making all three goals in October.
Andy,
I really enjoy reading your blog. I, too, struggle with my weight. Do you lose weight when you are away from home because of the excitement of being away (I often eat when I am bored, but I’m not as bored when I’m out of town) or are there fundamental differences in your diet when you travel? Just looking for pointers.
It is probably a combination of both things you mentioned. My diet doesn’t change too much except that when Dr Pepper isn’t available my soda consumption goes way down. Also I do a lot of walking while traveling which helps me lose weight as well.
Good luck on the weight lose kick! I wrote about it in “Losing Your Way To More Money”. It’s all about your diet, and not about exercising!
