So, the money i had been waiting on coming in hasnt come in yet. I am starting to give up hope on it. Rightly so, i guess i should make other plans for my expenses. It would have helped, but this being week six (out of a possible 7) i am not really expecting anything at this point. My best solution to my money problems is to see about putting in as much overtime as possible. Make's sense really... I am far more likely to be successful at putting money aside if i work for it rather than hoping its going to come out of the sky and rain down on me.
With all that said, i need to put some money aside for the next few weeks to purchase a new set of boots. My current ones have a crack at the sole and as a result whenever i walk through a puddle (or snow) i end up getting wet socks and cold feet. It's not very pleasant. But Boots are a job requirement so i need to think of a better solution. I could ask family to help out, but i'd prefer to do it on my own. My old boots also have holes in the soles so they wouldnt be a good alternative.
On the agenda today is completing as much as i can at work... and then going home and going shopping for food. I was supposed to do it yesterday but due to the fact that i worked late yesterday i didnt end up going. With that said, we are low on food at the house.
I think today is the day that i give up smoking for good. I have around a half a pack which i could easily kill before 2pm so i think i will give it a try. It doesnt hurt that i am extremely low on funds and cant actually afford to buy cigarettes. I don't think i have any patches in my car, however i will check when i go out on my lunch break. Gambling was the major addiction... and that's pasted, even if i am still having dreams about gambling every few days. Next thing to work on is smoking... and that will take some time to actually get over. Gambling took 3+ years so i'm not expecting a quick turn around when it comes to smoking. Drinking will be the last thing... but with that said drinking is not going to be a "quit for good" but rather go back to only socially drinking. I wouldnt say im an alcoholic... i dont drink when i get up in the morning, and i'm also capable of going to a bar and only having 1 or 2 beers. usually there is a money restriction in place when i go to bars, but thats not the biggest reason i limit myself when i'm out in public. It's more so that i dont want to throw up at a bar.
Exercise has taken a back seat lately but i will start working out more regularly. I have the gym setup in the basement so there is no excuse why i cant spend 20-60 minutes in the basement working out on any given day / night. Now actually getting into the gym to do my cardio is another story entirely. With that said... i need to lose 60lbs hopefully by my 31st birthday... which is just 10 1/2 months away. Hell... i'd be happy if i could crack 230lbs by spring. But it would mean a lifestyle change (cutting out drinking, no more fast food, no more snacking after dinner). One thing at a time i guess. Smoking is top priority.
