A Bit More on the Spending Freeze
We're 10 days into the official spending freeze (Jan 15 - March 15). There've been ups and downs -- strikes and gutters.
First off, I really, really want to go to a Chinese buffet. Like, bad. There's a great one not two blocks from my house, and I love it there, and they know me. But no.
I also really want to go see a movie. There are quite a few out right now: Daybreakers; Avatar; is the Book of Eli out yet? But NO.
On the other side of it, I have paid off my Best Buy credit card already. It wasn't that much, but now I'm not paying that with every paycheck. Other than that, though, I'm not exactly rolling in the dough.
I have managed to make a few large steps toward leaving Citizens Bank (details to follow in a later blog, perhaps), but now my money is divided.
On the weight-loss front, it keeps going. I'm below 180 pounds for the first time since leaving Texas, on my way to the Wedding goal of 170 or below (9 months to go).
I have slipped up a time or two; I eat when I get sick. One day, I just didn't bring enough with me to work. I needed a soda and some snacks.
I also bought a hair-catcher for the tub, but since it's cheaper than the Foaming Pipe Snake, I'd say it's allowed.
