I thought I would have a no spender today...and then went off and forgot my food at home. Luckily, there was a little suprise party breakfast for a new dad at work, so I had some fruit and a little coffee.
Then, I had a long talk with my boss about some changes we are making. I am taking on another responsiblity..which means another possible raise..and a busier workload...but I will be transferring more of my duties to an assistant. My head is literally spinning from all the changes--so, I decided to go to a quiet restaurant and just contemplate. I ordered grilled fish and water...$10.99 + $2 tip..so my spending today was $12.99.
My job has changed so rapidly this year. I am excited about the things I oversee..but the learning curve is HUGE. So, after this semester, I am putting school on the back-burner. I will have enough on my plate with everything at work.
I stepped on the scale today. Stupid scale...it said I only lost 1/2 lb...but I can see how much better things are fitting....lol, it must be broke.
Tomorrow should be a no-spender...if I dont forget my lunch again.
Then...Thursday and Friday I am off for a fun weekend with friends. WOO HOO
No spender? not so much....

Last night, on "The Biggest Loser", Jillian Michaels (one of the trainers) was rolling her eyes about the whole "you didn't lose weight because you gained muscle" excuse. (her words, not mine) Same with the "oh you haven't lost any weight but you have lost inches." I took it from her reaction, anyone who tells you either is just blowing smoke up your.....well, you know. Their mantra is "the scale doesn't lie."

Having not met you Thrifty I can't say anything about what you do or do not need to lose.
Though I can guess, if it fits better you are doing great.
Course my opinion might be worthless, I own no scale, so I obviously put little stock into it.
