So guys. Haven't posted lately. I'm going to attribute it to laziness, pure and simple. I could claim I've been busy with work, but I have plenty of free time afterwards. Something I'm kind of learning: You can't eat healthy if there is no healthy food in your house. And it kind of makes it difficult when you can't just drive to the grocery store and get your stuff. And, you know, the Midwest is kind of covered in a foot of snow right now, too. I'm going to try and stop making excuses. I could certainly take the bus. I could wake up earlier (I have a 5pm to close, which is usually 2 am or 3 am, and don't get to sleep until very early in the morning. I mean early. So I sleep late.) and haul my lazy butt to the bus stop and go to the grocery store. Another problem: no food stamps. And I don't get paid until Friday. And almost all of it will go towards bills. I am going to be making a big decision soon: I'm getting a cat. I've wanted a cat for a very long time. However, I keep arguing with myself. You're complaining about not having money for food, yet you are able to afford a cat? How are you going to feed it if you can't feed yourself, is the usual argument I make. It is a legitamate argument, I'll admit. However with my new job, I'm getting more hours, which will equal bigger paychecks (and more taxes taken out of them). So I will add some money for food to my budget, and the cat food, etc. It's all about the budget. It makes things easier to handle. Argument #1, busted.  I try to not rely on the food stamps I get too much. Makes me feel like a moocher, even though I'm working my ass off to barely eke out a living. Hopefully I will get a better job soon. Anyways, back to my main point (you'll notice I tend to ramble a lot). No healthy food in the house. Had a day off today, which has been weird. I currently have for food in my house: some rice, ramen, left over pizza when I cracked and bought some a few days ago, and some hamburger helper I haven't felt like cooking (but now sounds very good!). That's about it. And until Friday, I don't want to spend any money on food unless I have to (like to actually eat something at work; Taco Bell has you pay half price). The money I have saved up is for my future roommate. So I'm kind of struggling between eating unhealthy or not eating. Naturally I chose to eat...and ate the last of my pizza. It is very difficult to make good food choices when you don't make enough money to buy good food. Sorry guys, but a lot of that healthy stuff is expensive. Or at least, more expensive. But that will not keep me from trying. I want to get a lot of fruits/veggies, and actually eat them. I'm an incredibly picky eater; my favorite saying is "That's rabbit food, I'm not a rabbit". I'm more of a steak girl. But I want to change, so I suppose I'll have to learn to love salads and stuff. Wish me luck whoever is out there reading this boring blog!
