Day 1, not off to a great start

So day 1 of this...you would think that my public embarassment would be enough to start getting me motivated. Nope. Not the case today apparently. I skipped the gym last night because I was more focused on getting home and doing some transcription work. Ah money, the root of all evil. The all consuming need to make even the tiniest bit of extra money overpowers so many things like cleaning, working out, or even eating. Take last night for example. I thought about going to the gym when I got out of work, but then I thought, what if there is transcription work waiting for me? Well guess what. I sacrificed a good, healthy workout for a meager 50 cents worth of work. I think getting out of that mindset late at night will do me a world of good. (of course so would making more money so I wouldn't have to worry as much about how I am going to pay all the bills)

Today, I was able to get some sleep thanks to Steve for helping get Cody's breakfast and morning routine set up, and thanks to Cody for not waking me up. However, the second I woke up, I logged right on and started working, only pausing to get Cody his lunch. I have made a little today, but not enough to warrant skipping my chores, which I am about to start on. I also have not eaten anything today, which is just as bad as eating crap all day long.

I did well at work last night, I didn't over snack, I had reduced fat Wheat Thins and sharp cheddar cheese for a snack, turkey and baby spinach sandwich on whole grain wheat flatbread for dinner, and then some Saltine Goldfish for one more snack a little later in the night. I did however have a package of Ho Hos. Hostess is the devil and is one of my weaknesses. I love Hostess, and of course they have to stock the vending machine with it. Today I do not have any one dollar bills or change on me and I am going to keep it that way so I cannot get anything from the machine.

I am going to try and get the chores done and perhaps eat a little something too while I am at it. Hopefully I will stick to it and get it done. Wish me luck.
