The Good: Do I ever have anything bad to add about work? I'm always ahead of the curb (can we say workaholic?).
The Struggles: I didn't struggle with free time as much as I did in February, but it was definitely an issue. I can't seem to cut back on commissions though. All I ever remember is how 2012 turned out, and a good 90% of our troubles were of the financial variety. I feel like, if nothing else, should I stay on top of this we can avoid disaster.

The Good: We did pretty well sticking to the budget this month. Redoing it definitely helped.

OVER ALL FOR MARCH: 95% Complete.
Biggest success so far? Again, I am a badass when it comes to my job. It concerns me though that my biggest success for every month so far has been my job. Not going to lie.
What I need to work on the most? Weight loss. Again, that pity party has sailed. We're not going there again.
What I'm the most worried about? Weight loss. Like I said above, not talking about it.
What am I the least worried about? Date night. Aaron and I already have an idea for this month - camping so we can see the stars! I'm super excited.
