pay off my bills (read all 2 entries…)
eh...

I just reread my last entry. Boy how things have changed. I cashed in the job with the nice salary 5 months after securing it for a much more fulfilling job with half the salary. Ouch. Needless to say that didn’t help the bill situation. I did get my $2000 bed paid off though, finally. Although now I’m trying to remember why I felt the need to buy a $2000 bed in the first place… Computer will be paid off in August and car in 10 months. So we are getting somewhere. I hoped to be done by now though and saving for the house downpayment. That’ll have to wait a few more years I guess… Oh well, at least I’m starting to own my stuff now instead of just using it while I pay interest for someone else to get wealthy.



lose 3 pounds (read all 2 entries…)
I did it!

I gave myself two weeks to do this. Mainly because I wanted, or rather needed, to fit into a really adorable dress for a fundraiser i was chairing a couple days ago. The night before I was still uncertain about the dress, as it looked a little snug and the day of the event a friend brought over reinforcements (7 dresses of her own as a back up plan). I found reinforcement of my own- a $6.99 high waisted girdle that i bought that morning at walgreens when waiting to get my roommate’s prescriptiong filled. With the blessed (and quite heinous) lycra-spandex garment, and a cropped cardigan, I rocked that dress! It was the greatest feeling. I got many compliments the whole night, but the best part was that I looked like a size 2 again. Yay!!



get tested for diabetes
May 24

Ok, so I made an appointment to talk to my doctor about all of my symptoms. I’ve been putting this off for about a year, which is pretty stupid considering how serious diabetes can be. I didn’t want to be that crazy hypochondriac girl though. I figured I’d experiment on my own. Cutting out various sugars and simple carbs and seeing what kind of effect they have. Lo and behold, when I limited sugar, all of my diabetic-type symptoms disappeared. I’ve been on a strict diabetes diet for the last 6 weeks and have been feeling great, which tells me that something is likely not right with my body. Hopefully it’s not diabetes. I don’t know what else it could be, but hey, that’s why I’m seeing a doctor.
