(no subject)
We were getting really good at working out every day until we went on our DC shoot and didn't have time to work out for 4 days. Now we are only working out every other day, but hopefully next week we'll get back into a routine.
I am very discouraged about my workouts... I know it's a bad time of month and I'll gain weight, but I am back up over 119lbs (I was down to 117 a couple weeks ago) despite being decently careful of my calories (I use loseit.com to track them). I think it's because I'm eating a lot more carbs again rather than proteins and veggies, even though my calories are in the right place. Didn't my body read the article about the Twinkie weight loss man????
The problem is... we have lots of carbs in the house (baking mix, pasta, bagels, rolls, etc) and we can't afford to let food go to waste right now because we have no money for groceries. The plus side is that we have a full pantry/fridge and I can't imagine spending more than $100 on all groceries for the month, the downside is I can't be picky about how healthy my food is. We have plenty of meats and frozen veggies available here but there will have to be 2-3 carb meals per day (as opposed to just 1 or 0).
I think also my problem is that I'm only trying to lose 6 lbs (going from 121 to 115 so my pants/shirts fit better again, darn small clothes being unforgiving) and it's really hard to lose such a small amount of weight on a small figure without being drastic and doing things like eating super-healthy all the time.
Maybe even less diet pop? Unless it's a special occasion where we go out I only have 1 a day (or less).
Ew I don't really like this post at all, but I wanted to write it down anyway.
Now back to not leaving my house for days on end! Last time it was Sunday afternoon through Thursday night... now I am going for Friday night through Tuesday afternoon... unless we have errands on Monday to run (oh yeah, like paying my quarterly taxes and buying eggs, milk, ham, juice, and salad).
MONEY money money. Oh the fun of trying not to let debt turn into crushing debt while everything around you is trying to come due at once. If only I had a second to take a break from doing my actual work to sit down and update the personal finances (from November...) and the business finances (from... May.........). Fail.
