OK today is day one!!!!   I have to admit I am not mentally prepared, not at all..... Yesterday I did do some "last minute shopping" I bought a new bottle of nail polish, some socks and a few other things, you know just in case..lol  I also put all my credit cards away so I dont "accidentally" shop.  Today is also day 1 of my weight loss plan so I should stay busy enough to not want to buy anything...

I did come up with some other "rules" .. I am the type of person who has to have everything planned out, I dont do well when I go with the flow... so here all some more of the rules I have created for myself.


1. Entertainment - I am allowed to spend money on going places/ doing things. I am a homebody for the most part, I get the most enjoyment out of being at home, doing stuff around the house, cleaning, gardening, making jewelry is what relaxes me.. Going out doesn't appeal to me to much, so I don't do a lot of that, but i do know its important to get out with friends, family, etc and do stuff so I am not taking that away.

2. I get an allowance each week, 20.00  a week. I can use this on necessities or I if  I want I can save it up for something major that I need. (new walking shoes, hair cut, etc)

 3. In order to use some of the stuff I have in the closets, I am going to have to buy other stuff , for instance I found a really cool project to do for a gift, but I know i don't have one of the main items, so I am allowing myself to buy things like that. The items I buy have to have a purpose, they can not be "just in case" items and I have to try to find them as cheap as i can (yard sale, thrift store, etc)

OK so I am off to work, I'll check in later or tomorrow to let you know how day 1 is going  :)
