Early resolution

My last post was all about dreams and fantasy. Back to reality.  I made myself reevaluate the debt thing. Christmas hit harder than expected as I really did not plan for it at all and I am not strong enough to be cheap with the gift giving thing. At least I am not spending it all on myself. Here is the deal. Christmas sort of got me going and the next thing I knew I was measuring and pricing new rugs. I peeled off  a shellac nail as I calculated and was ready to finish my purchase and something in me made me get a grip and stop. I logged out and said " no new rugs!" everyone in t he house said "yhea!" I guess they saw Mommy running a muck and actually get a hold of herself. I threw out my last chart of bills and started a new one. I thought I would be done in June but it will really take 9-12 Months to get things paid. I suck at this part a lot!

We are going to have a garage sale!! I think getting rid of storage lockers full of memories and crapola will help. Sell 1000 things for $1 and you have $1000. I figure if we have not looked at it in years it can go. We have 1 storage locker and 2 garages full of junk.  American Pickers should come on buy and buy some old silver. Anyone want an Elvis Collection? We have one. Last year I tried to be an EBay mogul and found it was a lot of work, I was not good at calculating the shipping and things did not always sell. So I went through the mental anguish of getting rid of all my German made marionettes I had since childhood, took their pictures and put them up for auction and got zero bids. Needless to say that venture did not keep my attention long. A few garage sales and trips to the flea market could be fun.  Early Spring cleaning.

My back is still out. Boo. I was going to try Yoga but did a couple moves at home and it was on fire. Confessed to my weight loss counselor that I had sinned and she was kind. I am going in to talk to her Saturday morning. I am not gaining anymore just sort of stuck. That is the reason for this post to get unstuck in all of it. Look at the numbers. The numbers on the damn scale and my  credit card balances and really listen to them. Redo my charts and set off in a new direction. Maybe this time I will find America?  or at least peel away the years off my rack and find a renovated classic chasey with all stock parts.

I am not giving up I knew this was going to be tough as it is not the first time I have tried either stunt. This time I confess as I go. I think this blog has kept me from totally quitting. Need to weather Winter and move on. Naturally bodies want to eat more in the cold that is a scientific fact that I made up.

Oh yhea the blood work. When I went to the Dr the other day for my back she suggested I get my blood work done as I was due. I had not eaten breakfast so I qualified to do it. Unfortunately, I had eaten pizza the night before. My cholesterol was mid 200's - it has NEVER been that high. My fasting glucose was 102 it should be under 99. So I got an email from good old Dr Chen that included a cut and pasted document of directions on living a better life through low carb and low fat diets. there was also a link to get a digital life coach.   Seriously does not she know what I really need is brain surgery! OK take out carbs and fat and you are left with lean protein and booze. My liver enzymes were fine bitches! So the  pork tenderloin and bourbon diet will be in research and development and be  submitted to the folks at Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig.  JK- I am still buying the JC food but not sure what the future holds in that direction. Since Nabisco bought Jenny the food is pretty good. How could the makers of  things like Oreos and Ritz Crackers make ill tasting food?
