100th Post!

Welcome to my 100th post! Just 55 weeks later.

Progress so far: I am a week away from one year at Weight Watchers. I am approximately 40 pounds lighter than I was a year ago. A year ago, I wore a size 26. Now, I'm wearing mostly 18s with the occasional 20.

In addition, I have now been dating Max for approximately 9 months. Things are going very well, and I'm still looking forward to seeing where things go from here.

Financially, I'm still poor. I used to work two additional jobs, but I decided to devote my time to my body this year. I stopped my part-time retail job as well as the tutoring I used to do. I've got to figure something out for this year. I used to make an extra $500/month with tutoring and working. I am currently paying out about an additional $200 month for WW, the gym, and my trainer. Alas, I'm still poor ... even poorer than before. It's a good investment, but I'm not sure how long I can keep it up.

So far, 2008 has been pretty good. I'm down almost 5 pounds, and I've kept up my Sunday night family dinners. Some of you have asked about my recipes. I'm going to see if there's a way for me to add them on the sidebar. If I can't, I'll do a long post next with the last few recipes. Beyond that, I'll add them each week.

Have a great week!

Congrats on your 100th post! 40 pounds down is awesome.

I feel you on the money frustrations. Things are okay now, but it took major shifts in my financial thinking--and work on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis--to be able to live on my non-profit salary.

That reminds me Dan and I need to work on our Feb. budget tonight!

I understand being poor. hehe. My fiance and I are starting to look at buying a house and he is the only one working right now. Eek! Being poor and in debt is plain scary!

Thanks for uploading your recipes. I can't wait to try a few out! =D
