Yesterday's Totals

August 1st, 2012 at 01:58 pm

I did well yesterday. The only thing I spent money on was to fill up my gas tank. It was only $33, $41.75 less than budgeted for. That money goes back into the budget to help with the shortfall I will have this month.

I called the sheriff yesterday and he was able to serve the renters yesterday. So they have 7 days from yesterday to respond or get out. On the 8th day I can have him removed from the house. So anxious for this to be over.

I brought some pineapple and an apple for a snack today. And I brought a PB&J for lunch. Today won't be a NSD though because I bought cigarettes this morning. Seems I am not quite ready to tackle quitting yet. I also have my car insurance coming out of my checking account today as well as a loan payment that was mailed today.

No Eating Out: 5/5
Tracking food: 5/5
NSD: 2/5

    Sounds like you are doing wonderful! Quitting smoking along with everything else you are trying to do may be really difficult so maybe you can try to quit at a later time.

    So excited about the progress on the renters and, again, you are doing great not eating out!! I agree with twest that quitting smoking might be a bit difficult right now for you, but hopefully it is in your future!

    I think you are doing great! Keep it up! And I agree, maybe quitting isn't the right time now...maybe after the renters are out and you are able to re-assess things, your stress level hopefully will go down a bit and then you can think about it.

    A lot of changes so far - gas, lunch, and renters. Its better to maintain your progress right now. Smoking can come later. I would watch, though, and make sure that you don't increase your smoking. Wouldn't want to smoke up your savings!
