			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our main goals for the month as a couple are to create a budget and to pay off as much debt as possible, but we also set some personal goals for the month.  </p>
<p>Lindsey:<br />
1.  Read at least 5 books.  Listening to audio books during my hour roundtrip counts as reading, so even though this month will be super busy with grading student essays, this should be doable.<br />
2.  Walk at least 100 miles.  I wear a pedometer and track my walking everyday.  I&#8217;ve averaged over 4 miles the past few days.  If I keep this up, I can definitely meet this goal.<br />
3.  Lose at least 2 pounds.<br />
4.  Make extra food at least once a week to put an extra meal in the freezer.  I met that for this week already when we made a huge batch of mini pizza meatloaves.  It was our supper last night, Josh&#8217;s lunch today, and we have 5 servings left in the freezer.<br />
5.  Generate at least $100 of extra income (which can come from selling stuff or extra work).  This is going to have to be actually $170 because I want $100 profit, and I&#8217;m budgeting this month for the breakfast I provide all 90 of my students the morning of our big state standardized test the first week of March.  Last year I fed 93 kids on $100, and they were well fed.  They were still full at lunch.  This year I think I can do even better and spend even less.  My budget is $70.<br />
6.  Write at least 10 <a href="http://www.ehow.com/members/joshandlindsey.html">ehow </a>articles.</p>
<p>Josh:<br />
1.  Be all caught up on grading<br />
2.  Do 10 <a href="http://www.nowincontrol.com/2010/01/11/mystery-shopping/">mystery shops </a>(he&#8217;s already done 2 for the month and has some really good restaurant ones lined up&#8211;2 at Buffalo Wild Wings and 1 at Applebees.  I&#8217;m excited!)<br />
3.  Listen to 2 audio books<br />
4.  Lose 9 pounds<br />
5.  Sell at least 10 things and earn a minimum of $70<br />
6.  Figure out what he&#8217;s doing this summer and fall<br />
7.  Not buy more than 3 fountain pops (his very favorite)<br />
8.  Have 1 day a week of not yelling at Mauer (one of our dogs; he&#8217;s the crazy neurotic one, but <del datetime="2010-02-03T23:45:35+00:00">we</del> I love him anyway)<br />
9.  Apply for at least 3 full-time jobs</p>
