Yesterday was a no-spend day, and I expect today will be another one -- except for one load of laundry. I have decided to designate Friday as the day to wash sheets and towels.
I've been eating out of the freezer and doing very little cooking. Today I'm going to make tuna salad, though, because I want to use up some celery.
We may have a snowstorm tomorrow, which may mess with my gym schedule. I try to go every three days to do the strength training, and I've been pretty faithful about getting that done.
I have given up on the yoga, but I'm going to look up some simple stretching exercises that I can do on a daily basis. I get cardio from the three-story climb to my condo, and I also try to walk every day (it doesn't always happen). Of course it is more difficult to walk in winter; I really have to force myself to get out there. I could walk on a treadmill at the gym, but I hate it.
I had one happy frugal success yesterday -- I used a plunger on the bathtub drain and pulled up a clog, which was pretty disgusting, but the removal of it got the water draining well again. I was thinking I had to call a plumber, but now it won't be necessary. I got this idea from The Dollar Stretcher, which is emailing me reader's tips.

Have you ever considered having some free weights to use in your house? You could use them on days when the weather or something else prevents you from your regular gym visit. That way you won't miss your workouts.

I do love mat Pilates for stretching. The instructor at my gym is very good when she is there but cancels a lot at the last minute. I get off kilter when off schedule, so I’ve stopped going, but there are good videos for that too - I should try some of them!

Do you have a Zipit? That's what I use to unclog the drain most of the time. Though I did use a plunger on the kitchen sink once (a brand new one.)
