Due to the fact that I will be commuting we are looking for a new place further south. I-hate-moving but I need to do what makes the most sense. We are looking at a place tomorrow and I hope it pans out because in order to move in by April 1st I need to give notice by March 1st.
We are also going to buy a new car. We have decided to purchase a Toyota Prius. I think it makes the most sense with gas mileage, etc. I spoke to a coworker that has a 2008 Prius. She has taken it through mountains, Alaska (the same road the ice truckers use), Wyoming, etc. She had no complaints about how it handles in the winter. She has also only had to pay for oil changes and new tires. No other maintenance has been required. Now, I need to come up with a price that I am willing to pay.
I continue to do well with exercising. I still attend the kickboxing class (Tuesdays and most Thursdays) and zumba (Wednesdays). I also try to run at least 1-2 times per week. I started a strength and conditioning class on Mondays and attend an additional zumba class on Saturdays. Next week my usual zumba class is switching to Mondays so I will be going to strength and conditioning first and then head to zumba after. Despite all of this exercise I have not lost 1 pound in over 6 months. Can you guess where I keep slipping up? Eating. It is incredibly frustrating that food is my drug of choice and I am surrounded by it. I know if I could get that one little piece together I would be blazing the pounds off. Like I said before, hopefully being at home less will help me to curb some of my habits.
Wish me luck in all of this change. Hopefully, it is the change I have been hoping for.
