Last Week of July and Budgeting

If you are wondering why Last Week of July and Budgeting? It’s because I’m on a budget and it is the last week of the month.

I’m trying to get ahead on bills or at least plan out when to pay them (before the due date). It’s not easy and it sucks but with one job, it is nescarry. I have written out when all bills area due, going to try and pay them in the first two weeks if I can, not sure how it will work out but going to try.

There will still be a budget for food and will not be splurging as much. I have not bought any yarn this month and that is a big accomplishment for me. 

Working out has been going well and I switch it up with RingFit Adventure and dancing. I feel great and now to try and eat food in portions or at least the portions size recommended on the package.

This is goldfish and small cookies portioned out until I go grocery shopping again. The cookies I found at Aldi’s and I like them but they are not the healthiest. 

Hopefully this will help me make snacks last longer and I won’t have to shop as much but will see how it goes.

Okay, my dance workout is done already, had breakfast and tracking my food intake with MyFitnessPal app. 

Also, I’m sharing this because it is my blog and I like updating but even if I help someone then I’m happy with that too. I’m just sharing my journey on being more positive and working out. 

You can always skip to another blog if you would like too, have a great day!!

Thursday is Relax Day

Hello to everyone!

I had seen an article somewhere online (no I didn't get the link) that said for people to not blog because no one is reading blogs anymore. I am not sure how true that is but I will keep blogging til I want to stop.

Today is Thursday of course and there is good news! On July 20, 2019, I traded in my car and got my 2018 Hyundai Accent and have had that car a whole year! Also, next month will make one year of paying back my car loan which feels great, 4 1/2 more years to go.

So knitting has not really been going on lately and maybe scheduling time for knitting would be good. I can always do trial and error. So I will schedule a time to knit for an hour and see how it goes for a week. If all goes well then it will continue.

I should probably make time to read too and watch shows, I think that is one way to get things done and set a timer so I know when to stop.

Not much else is new with me, I hope everyone who reads this is doing well and healthy. Life is ok right now, still home from the food service job, and don't know what will happen with that. I am thankful for my LNA license so I have a fallback.

Budgeting sucks but have been doing well with it and will continue to budget monthly so bills are paid and save some money. I don't drive a lot and only go out once a week to the grocery store so I don't gas up often.

So that is my post, I hope all of you have a great day/evening/night wherever you are, thank you for reading about my life.

Monday is Binge Day

Hey everyone! I am binging on Lucifer on Netflix because season 5 is coming next month so I wanted to rewatch the show.

In other news, I’m still doing my Zumba workout, knitting and budgeting wisely. I hate budgeting but it’s necessary right now. 

Last night my grandfathers friend stopped by with sweet corn and summer squash. I’m not a fan of summer squash but corn on the cob is delicious!! 

So I just wanted to post this and I’m going to watch more Lucifer.

Have a great Monday! 

Happy Friday!

Hmmm....

It’s Friday and the weekend is coming which is great! I’m in a good mood and trying to figure what I will do today besides a Zumba workout.

I want to knit today and work more on the baby blanket that I started, need to figure what patterns to try and with what yarn and make sure I have enough yarn.

Hopefully I will be productive today, also need to organize and usually I’m not organized. Also I need to see what I have started for knitting projects and finish those as well.

So far this month of “no buying yarn” has gone very well. The month of July I am trying to not buy yarn and use what I have first.

I have been searching for free knitting patterns and download those to my computer.

Life is good, got my glasses yesterday and just enjoying life right now. Oh, I have been trying fasting too. I haven’t been too extreme but just giving it a try and see if I lose weight but I am drinking more water.

Anyways I am going to go do Zumba and then clean and knit and everything else today.

Hello Thursday!

Quick post! Hope everyone is ok good spirits and if not, tomorrow is a new day!

I just had sushi nori Earp with sushi rice and beef. Yes I know beef does not belong in a sushi wrap but the roasted seaweed wrap is healthy for you.

I of course didn’t take a pic but next time I will.

Today I get to go and get my glasses!!! They are ready and I can’t wait!!! Now I will be able to see my tv better.

That is all my news for right now, just relaxing and watching a movie.

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July!!!!

Today is Independence Day in the United States, I’m relaxing and not doing much. Fireworks, parades are canceled and I’m not sure if you can cookout in your yard or not.

Today has been up and down but right now I feel great! Got my Zumba workout in and did some knitting on stream today.

Also opened up a FairyLoot box that I had, I need to start reading those books. I found 2 FairyLoot boxes so have 2 books to read.

I have fun opening up the boxes on stream and I love doing snack crate too! 

Not much is new, I did finish one panel of a baby blanket and started a second panel so will need to work on that today.

I have not bought any yarn from a site that I love. I am budgeting this month and it sucks but must be done. I did buy more yarn for the baby blanket but nothing else.

I have so much yarn in my room and I need to use it up. 

Now I’m sleepy, lol. I’m going to relax and read and knit today. 

Have a great day/evening or night wherever you are.
