Low-Spend Day

October 12th, 2016 at 12:50 pm

I spent only $1.50 on laundry.

I had an appointment for physical therapy -- which usually incurs a parking fee. This time I went early and found a free parking spot several blocks away. It was a beautiful day and the walking was no problem.

Afterwards, I went to the gym and did more walking on the treadmill.

I even took coffee from home, and, of course, packed my lunch, as I always do.

Today I am taking the day off so I can watch my grandsons, who are out of school for some reason. Morning only. I think I will take them to IHOP; that is always a big hit.

I finally tackled my two bins of "too-small" clothing. I decided not to try them on at once -- too overwhelming. Instead, I sorted out the summer clothes and put them back for next year. The fall/winter clothes I hung in the closet.

My, oh my, I had no idea how many pairs of pants I had put away! I am wearing one today. I may be putting some back, depending on how they fit, and some, which have seen better days, will be donated.

I unearthed quite a few shirts, too, which I can wear to work.

I now have one empty bin, which I put away in the hall closet. I'm sure I'll find some other use for it.

Yesterday I was looking at my pants hanging in the closet and thinking how few there were. Now I'm thinking how many there are! No idea I had so much invested in pants.

Of course, my ultimate goal is to shrink out of all these pants, too. But it's nice to know that I don't have to worry about buying clothes at this stage. Only when I get really thin and fit, which will be so much fun I'm sure I won't mind the expense.

I'm getting fitted for orthotics tomorrow. My worry is that they will be bulky and I will have to buy new shoes. I'll cross that road when I come to it.

    I think when you use orthotics, you take out the inner sole and substitute the orthotic--so it's a wash. I hope that's true for you.

    Suggest removing any slacks/clothes that are too big or to be donated. It's so much more enjoyblea rotating through garments that fit and flatter. Remember to avoid slacks aisles at the stores.

    Glad you are getting some use of the slacks. I was looking at some of mine today that probably need to be retired. Sounds like you are feeling better.
