New Project

So I have been going kinda nuts, spending money like I have tons of it, which compared to a year ago today, or 2 years ago, I do, but not in the grand scheme of things. SOOOOO... I think that I am going to, beginning October 1st, try to spend a set amount of time not spending money, outside of necessities such as groceries, gas and bills. Of course, with groceries and gas I will do my best to budget, think ahead and all that.

No fun stuff like makeup or new clothes (which for one, I don't need any, and secondly, hopefully I would get out of the size I am in now before long!). No going out to eat, I can clean my house and invite friends over for coffee (good motivation to get the house in the shape I want, plus not eating out will help me get back on WW track!). No movies, I mean shoot, I have Tivo, cable, and oodles of DVDs, plus I can get a library card...No coffee trips, I mean usually I am heading home when I get it anyway and I have tons of coffee and tea stuff at the house. I am really going to try this. Wish me luck...those of you who know me well know what a truly monumental challenge this truly is!

At first I said I was going to aim for a month, but I think that I will say I will do it weekly, with the ultimate goal being a month, but if I approach it weekly I have a much better chance of success. Maybe I should take it day by day...
