Day 23 - Just Another Manic Monday

I just signed up to take the GRE this week. I've been periodically studying with an online program for the last few months. My verbal scores are off the charts, but my math scores are still down in the dumps. Will I really need advanced geometry and algebra in a social sciences master's program? Me thinks not. Yet, I've spent almost $200 bucks on just the test and another $500 on the study program. I'm starting to think this is a racket, with no accurate way of predicting success in a grad program. 

Day 13 - Same Old Sam Old

Today was ok. I didn't eat out and I went to the gym. Overall a good day. After getting my little one to bed, I'm watching an oldie, but goodie on television, "The Women of Brewster of Place." Wow, this is still a good movie and I hadn't seen it in forever. I'm trying to enjoy as much television as I can before I get rid of cable tv. Yes, I will be cutting the cord and will be using Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and Sling TV. Yes, Sling TV gives you a few additional cable stations without needing cable. I'm a little nervous since I'm a television addict. Seriously, like what am I going to do...read a book? Well, maybe an ebook. 

Day 12 - Lunch Out

Had lunch with a girlfriend today and the little one. My little one threw her chicken fingers. I had a veggie omelet, not pancakes. Overall, a good day. Could have definitely spent less money on the lunch part. 

Day 9 - A Good Day

Went to the gym today in the midst of the snow. I surprised myself. I didn't spend any money today, so that was a good thing too. Good day. I got home a little late when my little one decided to get upset and slap me across the face just because. What in the world? Nice hands! Nice hands!

Day 6 - More Lunch Invites

Sometimes you have to go out for lunch for work-related reasons. Today was one of those days. I thought I did well though when I spent less than $11 for lunch, by ordering a water, instead of a delicious soft drink or tea. Drinking water also helps my diet. Two birds one stone!

Day 3 - The $30 Lunch

Today's lunch was great. I had been planning to go to lunch with one person, but it was expanded to two, then to five people total, which was fine. The place chosen was a little pricier than I had anticipated. The food was delicious and healthy. I had a lovely salad, which was good, but expensive. Unfortunately, I also paired it with a lovely gourmet dessert. It wasn't large and the presentation was beautiful, but everything was much more expensive than I had hoped for. Including tip, I paid $30 for lunch today. It's a fail on the money front. I haven't spent any money on lunch at all this week, so I guess it evens out! 

Day 2 - Meetings and Brownies

Well, I had a meeting last night and of course this meeting had great food. Someone made two especially delicious double fudge brownies. Yeah, I had some. Yep. I did. I thought I was doing so well yesterday. I had a healthy lunch, exercised... and then I had two brownies. I also had to buy some food for the meeting. So not only did I spend money, but I ate brownies. This was a fail.
