Day 8

So today was a difficult read. I realize that I stopped investing into my retirement to pay off debts and save more money. I was rather disappointed when I thought about this. But in time I will start again. Actually very soon. I left my ATM card and money at home. It felt good to not eat until I returned home. I cannot believe I have not eaten out for 8 consecutive days - for me that is progress. This journey has shown me that bad choices = disaster and good choices = prosperity. My breakfast, lunch and snacks are packed for tomorrow and I know what I'm going to eat for the rest of the week. I look forward to going to Trader Joes on Friday. I am going to fix all vegetarian meals next week. Vegetable quiche, vegetable spaghetti and vegetable stir fry. I have already made my grocery list. Today I also adjusted my budget to give and extra $50 to my credit card each month. The total per month will be $550 instead of $500. I'm asking GOD to show me ways to pay this off by December 31, 2010. I must make some major adjustments. There is nothing like a determined mind. I wonder how much I could save this year by kicking the eating out habit? Let me see. What are you getting from the journey?
