Yesterday was day 1 of my no spend week, and guess what, I spent about $60! It was for flea/tic medicine for our dog. I went to give him his dose for the month and realized we were out! After living through one flea infestation I wasn't about to risk another, so I had to buy the medicine. But I'm hoping that is the only purchase I'll have to make this week.

Its weird since I've vowed not to spend that I'm wanting different foods that what we have in the house so I'm really having to resist going to the grocery store. But I'm going to stay strong.

I did good with my food log yesterday. Here's what I ate (not that you all really want to know): Cracklin Oat Bran w/ Blueberries & a banana & lowfat strawberry yogurt; a large glass of iced tea, 2 Sugar Free Rice Pudding Cups, a small glass of 100% lemonade, 1c of leftover cheese & broccoli soup, 2 PhillyIce popcicles, Homemade chicken & veggie fried rice, 3 homemade eggrolls, 1 can of Diet Dr. Pepper.

Not the BEST day I could have had, but not horrible either. I didn't get any exercise in today, and its going to be HOT HOT HOT outside here today, so maybe this evening I'll take the dog for a walk or go swim in the pool when it cools down a bit.

Weight Today: 247.8lbs Goal for next week:245

    I don't blame you for buying the flea/tic meds. You surely do not want a flea infestation!!

    Good luck with your food log.

    I always have that problem, too. Once I decide there is no spending, I can think of 100 things I need.

    You should join the Lose a Pound a Week Challenge. It really helps us to all stay focused and we log our food intake for the day so we can be either praised or yelled at by everyone else! No really, it is a great bunch of ladies and it seems to be working for everyone!
