Hello Again

Why hello the-one-person-who-will-read-this-post! It's been a while, but honestly there's only been a few things to talk about lately. I moved to a new apartment, cut my hair (shortest it's been since the end of high school), and officially have been at this job a little more than one year.

And even though it hasn't been incredibly exciting around here, work and life keep me busy. But I honestly only came here because I find if I put this on the internet, I'm more likely to keep with it (even though no one will probably read it).

Here's the thing. I've been spending way too much money lately, I feel like I'm hemorrhaging money. Some of it is for the necessities - rent, food, car payments, gas, you get the idea. But there have been other things, things I could live without. I had to buy a new pair of pants for work because my usual pair wouldn't stay up (the zipper would fall down even if I breathed too hard). And they were only $38, but after a point it just starts to add up. 

I just agreed to pay $50/session for a month for personal training, which I've been wanting for a while and I think it's worth it, given the wedding I'm in soon and just overall wanting to get serious about my fitness. But it's made me realize I need to cut down on other things if I want to do that.

It's hard to describe why I've been spending too much - it's almost like an itch. Plus add some gift cards from my birthday (which a few things have been purchased with but now I'm starting to feel overwhelmed) and I feel like I'm just looking for things to buy. 

So I need a refresh. Time to go back to the beginning and reset my brain a little. Which is why I'm here right now. I need some sort of "accountability" to keep myself from doing this - and jump start my blogging again I suppose. I want to come back every week (maybe every Sunday or Monday) and post what I bought/what I resisted. I'm sure the one-person-who-will-read-this will be oh so thrilled by my consumerism, but I'm starting to feel a little worn out (and not just from the 6 AM personal training session today that has left my legs feeling like jello). So bear with me a little, if you wouldn't mind.

Thanks one-person-who-reads-my-blog! I appreciate you humoring me some, at least until I feel like I've stopped this habit from getting worse.
