Hey everyone
So, on a good note...I went and did my weekly grocery shopping yesterday and made some really good choices. I did really good on limiting my impulse buys, and only bought healthy choices. When the Fuji apples I normally get didn't look so hot, I bought some nice big naval oranges!!! They were actually even cheaper. I'm gonna go through my reciept and see where I could have cut out $10.00 maybe....I will have to trim that out of another day. I'm DETERMINED to stick to a budget this month....
Okay the BAD stuff.... so my eating has been pretty darn good...all through out the morning...all afternoon. Then it seems that while cooking supper and AFTER supper I'm getting these CRAZY cravings....like I said the other night it was Big Macs and french fries.....and chips. Its crazy....so far I have been able to fight off or resist the temptation BUT I'm scared to death that I'm NOT going to be able to much longer. I'm going to try to drink water instead of eating while I'm preparing dinner. And I'm going to try to half my dinner and eat only half at dinner time and then when the cravings hit me later on eat the other half...hopefully this will help me and I will still be in my calorie requirement for the day...any other tips or suggestions will be welcomed??
Okay...NOW...I need some ADVICE
So, for my birthday I have acquired $75.00. I have been trying to think of what to do with it. I really want to spend it wisely because once it is gone....that is it...it is gone! And I don't get the luxury of having that much money to just go and do whatever I want with very often...LOL!!
I have found a bicycle that I really like that I can get....I was thinking that I could get it and burn tons of calories out riding my bike...but some things I'm worried about are traffic/drivers that don't pay attention and getting run over or having a wreck and hurting myself. Any thoughts on this...or anyone have any experience with this as exercise....I keep telling myself..you can ride the bikes at the gym...I just don't know....
So I don't want to buy clothes with it cause I'm gonna lose weight and then those clothes won't fit....anywho...here are some options...I need some advice...
#1. Buy the bicycle and use it for exercise
#2. Set a short term weight loss goal and use the money to buy some new clothes when I reach that weight....not that $75.00 would go that far...LOL
#3. Use the money for a romantic night out for me and the hubby...dinner and a movie or bowling...etc.
#4. Use the money to go get a massage AND a facial or a manicure or pedicure or something like that to pamper myself...
Okay so there are some options...which would you choose/ NOT choose and WHY would you choose them/ NOT choose them
Thanks everyone!
