I am so over our bank. Like over it. I’m switching banks tomorrow morning. So I am now a few hours into a gorgeous Sunday morning and I am in a pissy mood. The White Stripes are making me feel a little better, I must admit. I feel like a teenager with the whole earbuds in and blogging on the laptop. Ha! So I think I am going to take a long walk this morning. I need to just get out of this house and not focus on being poor. I am not used to that… I make a lot of money when I work, and I HATE not working. This stay at home stuff has advantages, but also has disadvantages. I just need to keep telling myself that the advantages win out.

I’m not a mad eater, so at least that is working in my favor!

B: 2 packets weight control oatmeal (my MIL left them here so I am using em up)
L: 2 cupcakes, a smart ones egg mcmuffin thing
D:another cupcake (they are almost gone. thank gawd, as my belly is hurting), something hubby made with spinach and pasta, and one turkey meatball.
Water: none yet, or coffee for that matter… Update: about 40 oz, but I need another water bottle, so I should end around 60.

My day got a lot better. I was kind of having a melt down, so I did what any reasonable woman who had no money to shop would do: clean. I have a closet that had my shoes and the boys games in it, as well as a bunch of books that were unpacked and about 9 boxes of packed books (yes, we have lived here a year and a half… pathetic, I know). It was heinous, heonous I tell you. But I am in declutter mode lately, and this is like the Mt. Everest of decluttering. So, I did it. And I got rid of about 5 boxes of books and 2 boxes of shoes. I think I am down to around 40 pairs of shoes, which sounds like a lot, but is next to nothing. Think about it… boots, sandals, heels, casual, running shoes… I mean, a girl needs a pretty large inventory of shoes. I got rid of a lot before we moved here, but I still had over a hundred pairs. I am proud of myself. I also am down to about 6 purses. Seriously, I rock at decluttering! And the goodwill loves me! :)

Then, as I was feeling all smug, my aunt calls and tells me that she had a whole day of clean eating. I felt so inadequate! haha. I told her I needed a cupcake intervention, stat. So I promised her I would be on track tomorrow, and I plan on doing it. For real. And I want to walk too. I miss running and weights so much. Absence DOES make the heart grow fonder.
