On with the New Year....

So the new year is in full swing! We have got our first budget in place! Whoo hoo. Is it possible to already be off track? I mean really! I am trying to work on a newer tighter budget but buying expensive "healthy" food, and I already went over! Not by much but it aggravates me to NO end! I also quit my grocery game because without buying so many premade food I feel like it might end up being a waste? I will see how I do without in on the regular stuff... I am pretty good on finding specials on my own, I just didnt want to do the work! Anyway, since I am only what 5 days into the new year lets say I dont worry about it!

I did weigh on Sunday, I am allowing myself once a week! I am down 4 lbs! I am not making huge gestures or making some big deal about it... I am just doing. Does that make sense? I dont want to think about it to much, a lot of the time when I diet I pretty much have to focus 100 percent on dieting. What will I eat? Where will I eat? How much am I eating? So much thought HAS to go into it all the time! It is mentally exhausting. I am trying to not do as much of the mental gymnastics this time! So far it is working! I have my initial weight on another scale I wonder how much I have lost total? I will have to weigh on the initial scale to find out, maybe I will do that on Tuesday.

I am so tired but did want to share this little bit for the records!

conversation with Matt

Matt: I love you mom.
Me: Well I love you too!
Matt: I loved you the longest.
Me: Well I loved you longer since I knew you before you were born.
Matt: I was in your stomach and I knew you.
Me: How did you know me?
Matt:(with the sweetest look you could possibly imagine...) You were all I knew.



MELTING.... Seriously!

awwww, matt is the sweetest.

We stopped eating most prepackaged foods, and I do the GG sporadically. When we get low on toothpaste, shampoo, soap etc, I hope back on and use it. Once our stash is up again, I quit.

I know it's possible to eat healthily without racking up huge grocery bills, but it takes a lot of cooking/preparation! We're working on it.

And congrats on the weight loss, good for you for not stressing too much over it. You're beautful!

Love you!
