$19
I've missed a few days because my blog's not working from my home computer.
So, Last Wed and Thursday I did not have Starbucks ($4). I did go out to eat Thursday, but not Wed, w/ friends from work ($5). And Thursday, on the way to work I was really tempted to get a McDonald's coffee, and didn't ($1.50). Then Monday I really wanted a Caribou coffee, but my husband talked me out of it, saying "what about the starving children?" and I said, ahhhh, you're right. ($2)
And finally, today, I did not get Starbucks (although I want it), and did not get Jimmy Johns ($6.50)
Instead, I'm listening to a sermon from the author of "Radical".

$20
No Jimmy Johns today. And I returned a couple of necklaces yesterday that I bought last week at Kohl's.
I went to Kohl's in the first place because I had a $10 coupon. But I left with 5 necklaces, thinking, I'd go home, see which one, or two, matched most outfits and then take back the others. But in the end I really didn't NEED any of them, so back they went. It's sometimes easier to return things once I live with them for a few days and realize they're not that important.
However, I did go to Starbucks today. I'm going to try harder tomorrow. I keep using the excuse that I need the relaxation of the Starbucks experience, and I love reading there. But if I keep reminding myself of why I'm doing this I should be able to stick it out and find something else to do.
I am so weak. But I'm slowly changing and gaining a better perspective of things.
On a side note: I really need to exercise.

no Jimmy Johns, no Starbucks, and not much food at lunch. I worked through lunch.
I've got to include something more inspirational soon. But I've been so busy I haven't had time. Sorry to the few of you who check this. :) Ah, and I need to add up the money again soon!
