Well, I slept off yesterday. I ended up going over calories. I ate something because I thought I needed to to get to my 2000 for the day, not because I wanted to eat. Ended up that I didn't even need those calories, so it put me over. Well, I tried. I don't look at that like a failure because I didn't WANT to eat it. I just added wrong in my head and thought that i needed to eat it.

So, I have decided that I am not going to buy myself new clothes. I just can't bring myself to do it. I did buy the one shirt because I WANTED it, not because I had to. I am, however, going to "window" shop. Part of my problem is that I don't like to buy anything that is cheap (which, to me, means made of crappy materials, poorly assembled, and doesn't fit well). On the other hand I don't want to spend a small fortune on something that will last only a few months. So, I am going to go see what is out there, how much it costs, and what the quality is. Scott doesn't understand any of that. But it's okay. He is all for me buying cheap stuff, but doesn't think we should fork out a bunch of $$, either.

Sooooo, my plan today is:

Have coffe with family & breakfast
Go to the gym and try for 110 minutes of cardio
Shower at the gym (???) <---this will be a new experience for me
Go window shopping and buy a new pair of gym shoes
Have burbon chicken, rice, steamed veggies at the mall for lunch
Go grocery shopping
Go check out some condos down the street from here (with hubby?)
Work on getting bills paid, budgeting taken care of, other financial issues

So, it is a full day, after my crazy road-trip day from yesterday...but I'm ready.

Update: To-Do list just has the financial activities left. I was also able to find some decent slacks that aren't going to break the bank. The coupon expires in about two weeks so I will go back to the store then and stock-up on slacks. They have belt loops, too. That means I can wear them longer! My strategy will be to invest in new slacks all at one time, as needed, and purchase tops as needed; one or two at a time. That will make it more sane for me, I think.

It is a good day, but it's been a busy weekend. This thing they had on the shower floor at the gym just chewed my feet up! Poor feet. At least they have new shoes now, though.

More: It was kinda cool at the gym today. I logged my exercise goal for the day early this morning. While I was at the gym, I was thinking about my goals and when I felt like throwing in the towel early, I remembered that I was not going to meet my goal if I quit. I've never been much of a goal oriented-person (per se), but I can definitely see the value in setting goals. They kept me going today. I am going to make note of this for when the going gets rough someday.
