So last week was a bit of a mess. I ended up having a training session on Saturday that went from midnight(Yes midnight!) until 8am. So through the week I was gradually adjusting my sleep forward from my normal wake up of 5am which left me just tired and out of energy all week. This meant I didn't actually get many of my challenge goals done this week.

### The Good

- No spend streak intact.
- No Alcohol
- No takeaway food and meal prepped my main meals for the month and in the freezer
- Sold 2 things on Marketplace

### The Bad

- Yoga/Mobility 1 time. But I did setup a flow in my shortcuts app to walk me through a 15 minute flow every morning.
- Meditation, only a few days this week and shorter sessions
- Powerlifting only 1 session
- Lots of time spend mindlessly scrolling

So starting out quite poorly with my challenges but thats ok, I can do better this week ahead and since it's part way through Monday morning as I write this I already have knocked out the mobility and mindfullness for the day so starting off strong!

### Spending

I was originally going to report category spending by week but I think what I'll do is monthly I'll report my totals as percentage of income instead
