Barbara - Maintenance Mode Again Soon!


I kicked the Diet Pepsi habit! I picked up a Monster habit. I kicked the Monster habit! Then I picked up a Dutch Bros. habit. That one is expensive...both in calories and in dollars. I have found a flavored coffee that I like that is cheaper and has fewer calories. Maybe not the best choice, but a girl needs to get her caffeine somewhere!

I had ten pounds to lose. Now I have thirty. Obviously, the changes I tried to make didn't work. Or the changes I accidentally made didn't ...

I had ten pounds to lose. Now I have thirty. Obviously, the changes I tried to make didn't work. Or the changes I accidentally made didn't work. Back to it. While I work on getting rid of these thirty pounds, I do not let my weight define me. I'm strong, independent, intelligent and healthy. And no number on the scale will change any of that.

    Glad your car is fixed! I love not having a car payment, I am still paying off some debt I have accumulated inheriting the teenager!

    Yeah, I think we will be home too. When we do go back, we don't have to work every day at the office so I have been told!

    I think I get a lot more work done at home then at work!

    I buy the paper products from Target and it seems like you can't buy one roll of paper towels anymore. They come in bulk with like 8-12 rolls in a package. I have found out that I like it that way now because I don't have to buy them every week. Toilet paper is not quite as bad but we probably have about 40 rolls on hand and I just restock that as is needed.

    I agree though, I have a budget of $100 a week for groceries and when it is gone, it is gone. This week I needed more meat so it went fast!

    I am glad your car is back! Tires are also expensive! My car has 172,000 miles on it but it is still going strong. My teenager just least a brand new Mazda and is paying $189 a month. I tried to explain to her that she has nothing in the end but, she is a teenager! She will learn.

    I think about you with my pile of books. I am trying to read everyday but it does not always happen! Right now I am reading a cookbook called Dinner Made Easy with six sisters' stuff. It has some good recipes. I am sick of my recipes that I have been making and looking for something new.

    I made Lasagna last week but my Mother was not impressed! I thought it was delicious.

    Work is as crazy as ever and I cannot believe that we are getting close to a year at home! I like staying home now and I don't want to go back!

    Take care!

    Because I am in Education, I think we are in the 3rd round. They are in round 2 right now. Do you shop for more than a week at a time? I am still doing mostly weekly except for stuff that tends to be out of stock like paper products, pasta and ice cream for my Mom and her yogurt.

    I go to Aldi's to get vegetables, coffee, and misc. stuff every week.

    Work is still crazy with people that can't follow directions but it is okay too! Our President mentioned that we will be getting our raises this year for the last two years. We have not had a raise because of the legislatures.

    I hope you get your car back soon, that can be a pain!

    I left the class once he started around 9:30 and logged back in around 12:30. We had a lot of students that could not follow directions. Quite a head ache!

    Yes, it does feel good to get rid of stuff but boy do we have stuff!

    I am actually working tomorrow. I have an e-notary class starting at 9 that is virtual and I have to help people get into the team. Hopefully, I can leave once the class starts. I did all of the grocery shopping today so tomorrow I can clean out more! I have stuff to put in the car for my cousins house on Monday that they are taking off my hands!
