I am very comfortable eating calories in this range. I don't weigh myself (makes me crazy!) so I can only judge progress by the fit of my pants. I believe they are a little looser -- either that or I have a good imagination! Anyway, I am in this for the long run. My plan is to keep reporting till my title is Day Three Hundred Sixty Five (which will be after my cruise and my Key West vacation). Bear with me; it really helps me to share.

I went to Chase today and opened two accounts -- checking and savings -- in order to get a $500 bonus. The guy I worked with was very helpful; he completely understood about the bonus and said others were doing the same thing, even opening and closing multiple times. Not that he recommended that. Now I have to go to the credit union and get a cashier's check, and get the college to change my direct deposit. I'll take care of both of those tasks on Tuesday. So, $500 coming for my grandkids' college funds! Yay!

Afterwards I went to the grocery to buy my ten items. Actually got eleven, since I couldn't pass up the cheap bananas. Here is my list: Cat chow, salsa, tortillas, paper towels, shredded cheese, eggs, chicken breasts, strawberries, bananas, onion, bread. Total was $28. I used $2.55 in coupons, so that amount went to snowflakes.

    The bonus is tempting, but it would take a lot for me to switch my checking since so much (direct deposit, bill pays) is tied to it. That's why i find doing credit card bonuses a whole lot easier in that it doesn't require me to upend my financial life.

    I'm glad the Chase thing worked out. Their checking isn't bad, and as I said, it was easy to switch out. I think you should put some of that $500 into a trip fund!

    I want to get my D her own checking and saving account (she's 17) but I'm waiting for one of Chase's deals. I haven't seen one for a while.
