It's crazy how often my thoughts and focus can change. I always quickly read my previous entry on here before I write a new one and even though my last entry was about how I hate how much credit card debt I have, today that's not something that is bothering me too much. I am just going to chip away at it and not charge anything on my credit cards at all except for the occasional internet purchase which I will only make if I can pay off right away.
Today is my weigh in day and I feel really dumb because I realized I am the same weight I was a month ago. Shit. That was a really productive month eh? Lol. I always find it harder to stick to counting calories and exercising when I have been doing it for a while and get close to my goal. I have been so tired in the evenings but I still should have been pushing myself to exercise which I haven't been. I'm not sure if I will be able to hit my goal of being 160lbs by April 1st now but starting today I am going to try harder. Tomorrow when I do our big grocery shop I will load up on healthy foods that I enjoy and buy very few snacks so that when I feel like eating junk there won't be any in the cupboards to binge on.
I'm weird about grocery shopping by the way lol. The night before I shop I write down any sales in the grocery flyers that I want to buy at each store and then on the Friday I will go and even though I do the majority of my shopping at Walmart, sometimes I will stop at one or two other stores on the way to take advantage of really good sales. I budget precisely for our groceries so I add up the prices in my head roughly as I shop. I usually buy all the essentials first and then if there's any extra money I will buy a few extra treats which is generally food we can't always afford. And I shop only once every 2 weeks. I love doing this! It makes me feel good to come home with as much good food for good prices that I could get for our family. Staying on budget etc.
By the end of two weeks, when it is almost time to grocery shop again we start to get quite low on food. That's yesterday and today since tomorrow is grocery shopping day. And of course Cody ate like a hungry animal yesterday so he was finishing this and that. It's cool though. I still have plenty for us to eat today. And I got a coupon from the drug store yesterday that said if I spend $75 there tomorrow they will take $20 off my overall bill. Sounds good to me! They don't have a ton in the way of groceries but if I load up on diapers and spend the rest on little things we would buy anyways like cereal, pop, crackers, canned food and stuff like yogurt and cheese I'm sure I should be able to get my total up to $75.
Now that it's almost spring, I really want to get a side by side double stroller for the boys for taking them on walks, to the park and day trips. I have a front and back one I have been using but I don't really like it. Cody is kind of squished in it at the front and seems a million miles away and I just hate that. I hope I can find a used one at a decent price because there's no way I am paying hundreds of dollars for one. Still debating about if I want to selling the one I have or not.
Anyway, not much new with us. Miles is still super clingy and doesn't want to be put down and Cody is his normal high energy self and I fall into bed exhausted at the end of the day. Same old same old :)
