A breakthrough
The other night I had a break through in my life. In college and after college I have had trouble with my money. Mainly because I had a a good job a the start of college with no bills then went to bigger bills and less money. Anyways, back to my breakthrough. This month I am a little low on money. I went with a friend to Wal-mart to register for her baby registry. Afterwards, I was on my way back to Wal-mart to buy her present and a thing for myself even though I knew I had no money in my checking account. On the way there I realized I was falling back into my old habits of spending money I didn't have. Then I related that thought to my weight loss. I was falling back into my old habits of not working out and eating what ever is in sight. That night I went to the gym for an hour. A whole hour!!!! Even though it is getting later tonight, I am still considering going up to the gym before I go to bed. Or I will hit the gym tomorrow between family dinners. I am going to need it with all the food that people are planning to serve.

Wow Melissa, that is GREAT! Think how far you've come that you had the idea to replace your "want" of spending money you don't have with exercising to take care of it - - all the while helping you in your weight-loss journey to boot! That is so wonderful, I'm so proud of you for that!! :-) I know totally where you're coming from as far as the money thing. It's still hard to keep from spending money that I don't have, but I will have to remember your "trick" of replacing my unhealthy addiction with the healthy one of exercising instead. ;-)
