I had a very sweet comment from Michelle yesterday, who said that I inspired her to go back to Weight Watchers. Congrats on your decision Michelle- I wish you the best of luck on your weight loss journey!
It's funny- I have had a couple of different comments (both online and IRL) asking if I am at my goal yet. Honestly, I'm not anywhere near my goal yet. My current weight is just passed the point of "obese" according to the BMI calculator, and that is not where I want to be. My next mini goal is to cross over and get into the "overweight" category (how sad is that- overweight is my next goal LOL). It feels like I've been working on that for some time now. It took me a year to get where I am now. I am only halfway to my goal, so I think that it will be another year to get there.
I had another good shop last night. We stopped at Vons to get some fruit, since they had some good deals. I got a 5 pound box of Satsuma Mandarin oranges, a pineapple, a bunch of bananas, and a bag of Gala apples for under $10. Not bad. I was thinking that even if I had paid cash at Stater bros and CVS (instead of having a giftcard and voucher), my total would still be under $60 for all of my shops yesterday. I'm actually thinking about cancelling my Grocery Game subscription and going it on my own. With my new coupon binder, I have a lot of coupons other than the newspaper ones to use. I can get most of the same information on free sites, so why pay?
I'm so bummed- 6pm.com had
these boots that I have been in love with for some time on sale for $21.95 today, and now they are sold out of my size. Not that I was going to buy them today, but sometimes when they have a really good sale they repeat it again. I will just have to watch and see if they go on sale again. Maybe they will get more in stock. I'm not even sure they would fit my calves, but for $22 I would try them out. I also found a
coat at 6pm that I kind of love. I'm going to go and look at Kmart this week. They have coats 40% off, and they have layaway. Last year, I found a nice cream colored puffer coat at Kmart for around $40 because it was 40% off. It's really warm, and decent quality. I'm hoping that they will have something that will work for an everyday coat for me. I don't want to spend a ton of money on a coat that might not fit next year.
