Working toward my resolutions is a little harder than I thought. But of course nothing is as it seems. I spent the majority of my paycheck. $250 for the backsplash and I had to buy groceries costing me $62. I get paid again in two weeks and have decided to start another project. Which is making a cushion seat for the bay window. Hopefully it will cost no more than $100. Hopefully. Even though I'm spending money, I don't feel I'm spending it on unnecessary things. Clothes, shoes, handbags, makeup, jewelry. I have more than plenty of those things and they just sit in my closet until the next trend of the year comes in and replaces it. My boyfriend and I do have a lot of house projects to get done. A new bathroom, new carpet, closet renovations, roofing, insulation, remodeling the garage and screened in porch, new siding for the barn. It's an old house that needs a lot of work so I think spending my money on something we need in order to make this house a home is justifiable.
Anyway. I have been slacking on working out. My treadmill, which I got for free from a coworker, does not work. I'm pissed. It's winter which makes it difficult and unpleasurable to run outside. Although it has been a very mild winter, 40 degree weather has been our average so far this year, except the past few days has brought snow and very cold temps. Tomorrow is Monday and they're calling for 40 degrees. So I'll make the effort and run outside. I should rethink my diet. Lately I've been craving junk. I guess that's because my metabolism is down, nor have I been taking vitamins. So tomorrow will be the day I pull out the workout DVDs and hit the running trail, take my vitamins and eat raw fruits and veggies and a few protein shakes. I'll make it a good day.
