Exercise for Today:
3.5 mile run in 34:54 on the treadmill
Workouts for Women - Circuit #6, 2X
I didn't do any crunches today, apparently I am ovulating and kind of crampy!
Had my weigh-in today. I'm down 2.8lbs for 153.8. Yipee. I'm finally back under the 155 mark. New mantra...stay within net, stay within net. I think the circuit is actually helping with my food issues. I feel more confident now that I'm using some weights again and that seems to cross-over into the food department. I may at times eat some crappy food, but I'm not eating as much of it. Now let's see if I can get through today without sabotaging myself.
Best Buy should love me. In February we bought a computer that was supposed to get upgraded to 3GB RAM. Well when we returned, it never left the store, the cashier refunded my hubby with cash. Hubby paid with a debit card, so that is normal. However, I have been waiting for over a month for this transaction to clear our account. No go, no big deal...merchants have 120 days to run a transaction. Anyways, I kind of got tired of wating for $800 to clear my account. I called the bank, no record at all of the transaction, not even a blip on their system. Hmmm....I call my husband. We both agree that we want to give the money back to Best Buy. Otherwise, we would both feel like we stole it, when we didn't. So I call Best Buy and talk to this young girl. The can't find the transaction of the return anywhere in their system. I told her the date and she checks again. I mentioned to her that someone had to of noticed their register coming up $800 short. The girls is quiet for moments and then does a "OH MY GOSH", it was her register that came up short and she knew exactly what happened. She was almost fired over the incident. She put me on the phone with the store manager. I talk to him for a moment and I'm going to drive over and give them the money back on Monday. I would take it back today, but I want to ensure I have enough gas to get through the weekend.
I sat and watched A Walk to Remember with my daughters yesterday. Stupid movie made me cry. I hate crying...I always end up with a headache afterwards. I also got to talk with hubby yesterday. I absolutely love my husband. It seems like the older I get, the more in love with him I become. He is such an honorable man.
Goals for Today:
1. Stay w/in net
2. Log Everything

Holy sh#t! I had an experience like htat a few months ago when I bought hubby a travel mug at Kroger -- it didnt ring up (at self checkout) so I ended up taking it home without paying for it ($14.95). That damn thing was CURSED!!!!! Your entire life is going to line up with the cosmos now that you have corrected that $800 error....
:afraid4: You will probably both get raises and promotions! 
:laugh5: Btw Yes I do think FPU is worth it. We started with the book, Total Money Makeover and have been doing that for 6 months but FPU is more in depth.

So, they never charged you for the computer and then gave you the cash? Speaking of honorable! Good for you giving the money back, a lot of people wouldn't!
You know, I feel the same way about my husband. We have grown together so much over the last 15 years. He has made me a better woman and he has become a better man. Sigh. I guess that is the way it is meant to be right? That movie is definitely a chick flick. There are supposed to be tears. WHOOO HOOO on your great weight loss. Yay ---> Good for you!
