The "What Day?/What Month?/What Year is it?" Edition.....
I had picked up this pair of trousers at a Talbot's Outlet on one of our girl's trips in the past 3 years(can't recall which). I tried them on(they were tight when I bought them back then)to see if they fit properly now. Well, I could have smuggled both of our dogs on the trip with us in those pants with me! lol Anybody need a pair of nice, expensive pants that never were worn?? 8-)
I am still trying to settle down into our usual mundane routine here after being home since Wednesday night.
This is day 211 of the new "diet". Down 59 lbs. since the cruise(not counting the 8 I gained on the cruise and then lost again, which would make it 67 lbs.).
I did eat stuff on the trip I try to stay away from(sweets and carbs)but considering I didn't gain an ounce once I got home and back on a scale I'd say eating-wise, things went pretty well.
Onward to the meal planning!

Last week we spent $190.62 on grocery shopping for January. We hadn't grocery shopped for over 2 weeks so needed to do some stocking up.
Total shopping comes to $190.62 for January.
There are 23 shopping days left in January.
I've earned $55.60 on Ibotta in January.
I've earned $14.00 on Shopmium in January.
I've earned $1.00 on Alexa app in January.
I've earned $1.20 on Kroger Cash Back in January.
I've earned $19.05 on TaDa in January.
I've earned $0 on Checkout51 in January

I've earned 304 points from food shopping on Fetch in January.
I've earned 320 points from food shopping on Shop Kick in January
I've earned 0 SB from food shopping on Swag Bucks in January.
That is $89.65 in rebates(not counting the Kroger Cash Back/Shop Kick/Fetch)on $190.62 of grocery spending so in reality it's $100.97 in food spending after the 6 rebate apps I count.
My savings percentage for the last week was 38.95% and the monthly savings total for January comes in at 38.95% spent.

Woohoo, look at you, looking great and all!! Too bad about those pants, but an excellent reason to update the wardrobe :)
ReplyDeleteLook how skinny you are, just dissappearing.
ReplyDeleteAmazing progress! Super impressed with your determination, even over the holidays.
ReplyDeleteYou have made amazing progress! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing!!!!! Susan R
ReplyDeleteI doubt I could get into those pants! You are shrinking and I am blowing up.
ReplyDeleteThe iced tea is so bad at the KFC where we used to eat that it gagged me.
On the way home, Tommy went into Food Giant and picked up 2 packages, $10 worth of bscb that was $1.99/lb. If the freezer ever has enough room, we will buy much more. As it is, when the bscb is on sale, we go in and buy two packages. I always instruct him to ask if it is thawed on the counter and get some still rock hard frozen.
You look great! Congratulations! You look a world different! How wonderful, except for all the surgery and pain part of this adventure for you.
ReplyDeleteI lost about 25 pounds in the past year and decided that since I hate clothes shopping and didn’t want to spend a fortune on clothes, I would see what I could get at local thrift stores. So far I have found 6 pairs of pants, only two needed to be hemmed, at an avg price of $8. Not sure if you can find such a thing in your new location but worth a try…. Hilogene in Az
Hi Sluggy, this is Chris. Looking good. 👍
ReplyDeleteJre You look great and I would think this really helps your mobility! I really need to lose at least 15 # this next year mostly so I can get back into my clothes more comfortably. ( and even at that I’m not slim at all).
ReplyDeleteWoah! That's impressive!!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic! Cindy in the South
