So today, I get into a pair of pants I haven't worn for a year. Still tight? yeah a little, but I don't want to continue wearing the 'loose' ones, they don't encourage me to lose more. And damn but it feels good to be in real jeans again.
My diet is still on the move in the right direction. Finding the ability to keep fresh fruit in the house is currently my challenge, but I'm working on it. Found a couple yogurts I like, on payday will try some more. This will be the first full grocery run with the new menu in place, we'll see how it stacks up to what I already spend. Cutting out chips and snacks and the like will definitely help on that front, just replacing them with fresh fruits and veggies.
I still find myself hungry often during the day, but I know I'm getting enough to eat. Damn tv commercials promoting this restaurant or that meal.. UGH. But I'm sticking with it hard, and damn proud of myself for it.
I think I can FEEL the difference too. Good food keeps me more alert, more awake. I've also gotten my house in the best condition its been since we moved in. Thats making me feel even better. Had alot on my mind though in other regards, so sleeping hasn't been the best. I keep budgeting and looking over numbers over and over for this trip I wanna take to ohio. We are going regardless, but the more cash I free up the better overall. We wanna take a side trip up to Niagra Falls and then to a friend of mine in Toronto. I REALLY want to go, I haven't seen him in ages, or met his wife and baby girl. And the experience for the kids would be wonderful as well. THey've never been out of the country, even though its Canada its still something.
I keep thinking of the things we still need, Katie needs a bag for the trip, something decent, and theres still some summer clothes the kids need. Oye, sometimes it never stops. I keep reminding myself that a year from now, our money issues will be nearly gone. Next year at tax time, I pay off HUGE chunks of bills, and by the end of 2006, bam.. everything but the car should be paid off. I'm staying realistic enough that I know stuff might come up, and I also make sure that we still have money to play with each month. Sometimes I feel freaking anal about it, but eh, if I don't have a handle on it, then I won't know what to expect. And the fact that I knew down to almost hte penny what we had available is how we got the new car. So it was well worth it there alone.
Back to the main subject though... I'm feeling better. My thoughts are coming in line with where they should be and I'm feeling more encouraged than I ever have before. I'm gonna do this.
