Monthly. Spending. - Wake. Up. Call.

Okay, I haven't put my monthly spending out for a while! It's a consuming task to list everything but boy, is it an eye opener! I have to say, I'm not so proud of how I have done these last couple of months. I've become lax, not only with my spending, but with my diet!

As I look at the list of foods I've consumed, I realize much of my money has been spent on non-nutritious, empty calorie and sugar-filled foods!


Sugar is my enemy!


Of course, sugar isn't all THAT bad for you, in moderation! Natural sugars from fruits and natural sweeteners such as honey and agave syrup, of course, are the best ones for you. However, as we can see below, I don't know moderation.

This has served as a wake up call for two matters: my diet and spending. Below you will find my spending for the month. Tomorrow? My solution to fix these two troublesome matters - spending and nutrition.
