I mentioned that I wanted to post every week what my food and dining budget was and it seems like I’m already 1 week overdo. It’s been crazy at work, but mostly I haven’t been that organized. Thankfully, I have Mint.com to put everything together for me, and it does not look good. I’ve already spent $478 out of the $700 budget I had set. I put below a graph from Mint of what the breakdown was. It should actually be a lot more, but I haven’t been as good at categorizing the cash spend

It looks like I’ll have to reign in my going out habit, it will be tough though as there a few people leaving the country for jobs and they’re having going away parties..
We shall see by month’s end I guess. Another update to follow next week.

We all find ourselves at some point in time stressed for time. Often that is due to overloading your schedule, having too many priorities, or as is often the case.. wasting time on things that are not that important.

One of the things that I waste much of my time on is TV and Hulu. Even though I only have basic cable, Hulu more than makes up for all the shows I missed. I’m addicted to TV you might say. I just love the feeling of sitting on my couch, dinner in hand, and watching a show. That being said, I often go beyond what one would consider normal. I watch TV and watch TV and watch some more.. In the end I neglect the important priorities in my life such as sleep, school, exercise, and friendships, just by watching TV. It is a huge waste of time, and starting today, I’ve decided to remove TV and Hulu from my life for a month. It’s already hard and it hasn’t been a day. However, I believe I can do this, and I’m putting it out there to keep myself in check.

I hope to see more time to actually do things that have priority and a significant improvement in my exercise plan. I’ll keep updating on the status of this new adventure.
