A guy in my office has Trump speaking on his tv and it’s not loud, but it’s loud enough for me to hear it and I’ve already asked him to shut his door because I can NOT listen to that crap all day. He laughed. I said I wan’t joking, but he still didn’t close his door.
If I throw a tv out the 3rd story window today, just know it wasn’t my fault.
I finished it about a month ago, actually. It took a longer time for me to realize I was feeling "good," but I instantly didn't have any of the food guilt I am used to experiencing. And I finally started cooking for myself. I've really never been into that. The one downside is that I feel way crummier whenever I do eat restaurant meals, but I suppose that was kind of the point.
Congratulations! You seem to be really focused this year on your health and fitness and you’re doing so well :)
I hear ya, I am not a fan of cooking meals and all the dishes and prep work that goes with it. I found recipes I could make in batches and eat for 2-3 days which helped. I did like the amount of vegetables I was eating while on it, it’s a nice reminder to pack those in.
To be honest, I’ve felt all out of sorts since having Melody. I was so dedicated and motivated prior to her and now my focus has changed and I’ve become that standard mom who focuses on her kid and doesn’t take care of herself. I know “more is caught than taught” and it’s incredibly important for me to set Melody up for a healthy lifestyle that I didn’t have growing up, so I know I need to focus more on myself and my own habits. Forever a work in progress.

If there is a picture on pinterest linking you here, I don’t know who posted it or which one it might be, I’m sorry. I have about 25,000 posts and only minimal ways to find each one. What picture was it?
“And every year there is a brief, startling moment
When we pause in the middle of a long walk home and
Suddenly feel something invisible and weightless
Touching our shoulders, sweeping down from the air:
It is the autumn wind pressing against our bodies;
It is the changing light of fall falling on us.”
WHY ARE HALF OF MY REBLOGS NOW COMING FROM PORN BLOGS?
And not individuals running them, the robot “call Heidi to suck you…” ones. Who in this universe actually responds to that shit? How is this even a thing?? Why on tumblr?
This month was challenging because we had a short vacation in the middle of it which took most of our cash for the month and we rented a large dumpster to empty our basement which cost almost $600, eek. I wanted to knock out the rest of that student loan though, so I pulled it out of savings to pay it down. I don’t plan to draw from our savings anymore though because I like having a nice buffer for emergencies.
The budget was non-existent this month. I didn’t even bother tracking after the first week, which is not going to get me anywhere I want to go. Why is self-control such a challenge? I’mrealizing that I’m a bit spoiled through this process, and I don’t find it cute or entertaining, but I also find it very difficult to change. I have adopted this mindset that as long as I can pay everything than it isn’t an issue to spend more than necessary. I want to be debt free, but I also want to go on vacations and spend money on experiences and nice things. The whole point of being debt-free is to be able to do all that without worry in the future, but I just haven’t made that connection in my brain and habits somehow. Gotta sacrifice now so I can enjoy more later. Dave Ramsey says you can wander into debt, but not wander out of it.. you have to be intentional. I seem stuck in the mindset that we can outearn our spending habits. *sigh* I’m working on it.
The problem is that we have about $2,000 a month extra so I don’t really feel awful if we blow $800 of it and only put $1,200 into savings or onto debt. But when you add that up over the course of a year, we’re just spinning our wheels. Would I rather blow $800 every month and not know where it went, or take a wonderful vacation every year?
“There’s nothing in life quite like autumn. Misty mornings and rainy afternoons. The crisp cool feeling that hangs in the air. A sense of warmth that comes from within. It’s nothing less than magical, really.”
“The more you document your own life, the more you check in, you tweet, the more you post photos of what you did last night, the more you do all of this stuff, or even in my case, the more you listen for little lines of dialogue that can make their way into stories, the more you photograph moments, in a way, the more you start to step out of those moments, and if you do that too much, you become a spectator to your own life.”
