My stretch target for the line of credit debt was to have the balance at $7,200 by the end of the quarter. Looks like I might make it to under $7,000 which would be just beyond amazing. Because there is no room for raises this year I have been told I can work extra hours for pay. This works for me and might mean I can pay of the line of credit in full by the end of September rather than by November 30th this year.
In other news I've saved $242 by quiting smoking and have added a new category to track my non smoking success. It's called NOPE meaning not one puff ever. I loveeeee smoking and know that one cigarette will start it all over again. So not one puff ever. I have gained 10 pounds since I quit. I didn't realize that smoking affected metabolism. Of course it has nothing to do with all the salty, fatty crap that I'm eating when I'm craving.
Just returned from a weeks vacation. The house is chaos. Off to try to get it all together somehow before going back to work tomorrow.
Lots of progress

I find when the weather is poor my weight creeps up. The least expensive coping device I've enjoyed is just going for a walk after lunch and again shortly after dinner. It a terrific time for planning upcoming tasks and reviewing possible solutions to difficult problems I'm trying to solve for work related issues. Just a thought...Would it work for you?

Snafu, I'm trying to walk for at least 20 minutes per day. I'd like to do 60 minutes per day as I agree with you fully about the benefits.
