So I am thinking about getting a new car. My van has seen better days and I could use something a little better. So I have been checking things out on line and I found that I like the Jeep Patriot. So I went to the Jeep dealer today with Austin and his friend and I test drove a Patriot. I lived it, but didn't love it. When I saw the price and the monthly payment I thought about it. But here's my thing. I don't feel comfortable with it, any of it. I like the car, but I don't love it. I want to LOVE my car. Plus if I get this car that means Dave will probably end up working Sundays again. So I have to think, which is more important. Home time or a car. Well home time for the win.
This breaks my heart in a way. But it also shows I am growing up. Impulse has gotten me in trouble, so I am trying really hard to make sure to do my research and make sure I am not going to be out of my price range.I don't want to sacrifice things like family time and dinner out every once in a while. So I wait.
I have never been a patient waiter. When I see something I like I want it now. Its the Manic side. Times have come before where my need to be impulsive is over whelming and I end up with stuff I don't need, and in the end really didn't want. I just happened to like them at that moment. I am going to work on that this year.
I figure the same thing goes for food. I am such an impulsive eater. So this week I am going to think before I eat. Nothing goes through these lips with out a careful evaluation. We shall see how the week goes
My weight stats are as follows
Starting weight 261
Current weight 250
Total loss 11 pounds.
Once again I don't have a mile count so I am going to try to get that this week.
So lets say a little prayer and be on our way
Dear God, Thank You for today. Thank You for the friends I have and the family who love me. Please be with my friend Beckett. She is going to have surgery soon to remove the cancer in her thyroid. She is such a wonderful person and she needs our prayers. Thank You for Your hidden messages. I love you.
Amen

WTG on the weight loss Tina!! 11 lbs is a victory. The past few months working on the house I have lost 30 much needed lbs but I have about 65 more to go before I will be content. If you need a partner in crime for weight loss stuff I am here :) I am sending up some prayers for your friend, my mom just had some complex nodes biopsied on her thyroid yesterday, we are still waiting for the results.
Thanks. But I don't know who this is :) But I always love a partner in crime!
I love how you connect the dots. I can only say sorry, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Keep up the goood work with your weight and with thinking twice before you leap. My miles for the last 3 weeks 20 miles. Stay strong love you Mom
