Well, today started off crappy (mainly because its a provincial holiday here but since i work for the feds I dont' get it!) but turned out okay!


1) I sold my dogs old crate for $100!! I only paid $120 a year and a half ago so thats awesome. She picked it up and I have the cash ready for the bank!


2) I don't know how I did it, but I *thought* I only had $5 in my wallet. Turns out it was a $20!!! (I don't know how I did this . . . one bill is blue and the other green!!!) So that money promptly got put in my new bike fund.


3) I made chocolate chip cookies yesterday for bf's work function (plus extra because they are his favourite). I told him to make sure to TAKE them today so they are out of my sight (Chocolate chip cookies are my favourite treat too but the do not fit in my diet plan!!) Well he didn't and boy did I come close to caving (Ladies, I had the milk poured and was ready to go!!!) I decided NOT to give in, and instead went down to my treadmill and ran for 46 minutes!! The longest I have ever done in one shot! I feel great!


So now I have to figure out where in the heck I put a whole bunch of tax forms (essential) and organize some tax stuff tonight, but all in all I'm feeling pretty good about things!!!

That sounds like a wonderful day, Bex!


I know what you mean about having the sweets around.

Heh, spoke too soon. As soon as I finished writing this, BF called and is getting his head cold back (he was so sick when we were in NYC poor guy). He is stuck at work. So I had to run out to the pharmacy and grab some medicine for him. $30 later I now have $10 in my bike fund, lol. Oh well, at least I had the money there and didn't have to charge it!

I'm totally impressed. Once the milk is poured, it's all over for me! :)

Congrats!

That is awesome! Your weight loss ticker looks sooooo good. I have started and failed about 3 times this year already on my 10lbs. Ugggh. I think winter is depressing me and the debt, but winter going away would really help. It is sooo icy here and I have been eating terrible. It sounds like you had a great day, good for you!
