It has been a super LONG day! I was up at 5:45AM and on the road by 6:45AM heading to Nashville for an all day Grant Writing workshop. I learned so much and loved the instructor! Needless to say, I didn't get in my morning read before I left so after I post this, I'll be spending time in the Word before snuggling up in bed. Tonight's entry will be short and sweet!
HIGHLIGHTS
*I gained a half pound since my last weigh in BUT I'm not allowing this to discourage me. I feel different in my clothes no matter what the scale says AND I know that I'm victorious already for making wiser, healthier choices.
*Because I was tired going into the workshop, I ALMOST stopped at a convenience store to get a latte but decided that would be the same thing as going to Sonic for a drink (spending money is spending money no matter where you go!). This would negate my commitment to one Sonic a week and since I already enjoyed one on Monday, I didn't allow myself to stop. YAY!
*Lunch was provided and of course it was a yummy boxed meal consisting of a turkey & lettuce sandwich, potato chips and a chocolate chip cookie. When I opened my box, I immediately pulled out the chips and cookie and got them out of my reach! Saying NO to food isn't as difficult as I thought!
*No workout today

"I've found that when life's brush obscures my view with gloomy strokes that seem to mar the scene, God's hand appears and gives to sunless hue and dreary skies a more majestic sheen." Gustafson
About Me
- Brooke
- Hi there, Let me tell you a little bit about this FRUGALadee. My sweet husband and I have been married for 9 years and have two amazing little ones - ages 4 and 2. We are fostering our 2 year old little boy in hopes of adopting. It's a long process but I'm trusting God as we wait. By day, I work as an Office Manager at a counseling organization and the rest of the time I manage our home. In my spare time (ha!), I'm a professional organizer. I am learning to live in the moments (instead of the past or worrying about the future) and revel in God's unexpected blessings TODAY! While I don't reuse paper plates or line dry our clothes, we're doing what's needed and best in this season of our lives. I'm always looking for new creative ways to save...time & money.
