Financial Planning

October 31st, 2009

As you know, I have a job now but it is a temporary position. I have the job until December 31st. I have to be extremely careful with money and save as much as I can. I have one loan due in December and the second one is due in January. I need to have money to try and pay them a few months into the new year & money to be able to pay my bills.

I have decided to do the 20$ a week thing. I have done it before and it has worked well with me. I am trying my hardest to make sure I get paid first before I pay my bills. Putting money into my savings before anything else is very important. Putting this money away will help me out if  my contract doesn’t get extended past the end of the year.

I really don’t like this planning because I just want to go shopping and buy cute new winter clothes but I can’t :( I need to be strong and try to avoid stores as much as possible. boo

Trying to catch my breath

October 30th, 2009

Omg, this week has been crazy and I am so tired. So stinkin tired. I wake up at 6 get ready for work and don’t get home till 615. Work out at 630 finish by 730. Out of the shower by 800. Make and eat dinner by 900. Pack lunch for work, do housework and then be in bed by 10. If only I could be in bed by 10. It hasn’t happened yet but I have tried.

This week has been a lot better with the working out. I have done pretty good. The eating is also going well. Been eating very healthy and have been having the right amount calories for my workout. I have already felt and can see a small change. I haven’t weighed myself and I won’t for another 3 weeks. Today I want to workout but I am dog tired. I’m laying in bed and am starting to get very sleepy. I will probably eat some dinner first and then hit the sack. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day and I’m hoping Sunday will be relaxing. Keep your fingers crossed.

Exhausted

October 21st, 2009

I am so tired. SO. TIRED.  I am trying to get into a good routine when I get home from work but I seem to be failing for now. Today was only my second day but trying to go to work, workout, and do some housework is a bit difficult since I have been out of the work force for a while. I have been taking alternative routes home to see which would be better. I think I found the right one today. It only took me 40 mins to get home and I hit no traffic. I did hit a bunch of traffic lights because it was all back roads. It wasn’t bad. I made it home in under an hour but  I was STARVING. I was getting ready to eat my arm! I had a snack while I was driving home but it wasn’t enough. I have been so hungry today. I was lucky to have packed enough food. I probably ate every 1.5- 2 hrs. I was so ready to eat as soon as I got home. There was no way I was going to exercise. I couldn’t make my salad fast enough! I was eating the toppings instead of putting them on my salad.

I would exercise but it would put me in bed super late & I need a bunch of sleep tonight. Not sure why I am so tired. I have a plan for tomorrow and I’m hoping it works out. Now to finish my tea and go to bed. I know its only 8:15 but I so need some sleep.

This post had no structure and I don’t care.
