Okay, so I’ve not been updating that great. But, I have NOT missed a paycheck transfer either. So between my last entry and today I had one paycheck and put the $150 in my savings. I just got paid a few days ago and went to the bank today. I put in $300! My paycheck was a little beefier this week because the pay period included an overnight weekend event that we worked so we get a stipend for those nights. I decided to be responsible and put some extra from it into my savings. ALSO….get this: I got 2 checks in the mail recently. One was a refund from Comcast from when I lived in Baltimore over a year ago. Can we say random? The other was my good driver check from Allstate for going 6 months without any issues. Since these would be unexpected money…I also put them in my savings account. So, today I put in about $380. Cha-ching. Look back from the fall I believe I have increased my savings 7x. Yay!

Wow! I knew I haven’t written recently but didn’t realize it’s been a month! Well, the first round of my at work weight watchers program came to an end last Tuesday. I am 1.6 lbs shy of meeting my 10% goal. So, I started the 16 weeks at 210.8 and now I’m about 191.4. Went from sizes 18/20 to 14/16. It feels good. I have to be honest about not following the program very well and put most credit for the loss to increasing my activity(many dog walks) I do have to say that I made some better food decisions but can do better. So, I’ve resolved to at least write down everything I eat this week. No worry about points or limits. Just want to get into the habit of writing them down. Then I’ll start figuring out points. Then start worrying if I’m going over or under or right on. With that said, I have renewed for another 17 weeks of at-work weight watchers.

$150 more in the savings account! Doing well…
