ISP Divorce and Days 31-35 Recaps. Running total: $500

I have been very frustrated with my internet service provider recently, and finally divorced them a couple days ago. It was a wireless provider and the signal has been really weak for several months. This makes navigation really slow. Many times I have no connection at all. I've already called and complained twice, both times they told me a tower was down. On Day 31 I was trying to upload a photo and it'd drop me right in the middle of a slow upload. I'd get a connection again, try again, and it'd drop me again. Finally I bagged it, and canceled my service. Now I'm shopping for a replacement.

The ISP Divorce combined with the fact that I'm not meeting my goal of $150/month on healthy food has made me lose motivation for keeping this blog. I've already blown my 90 budget out of the water in a third of the time. I blew one month's budget just this weekend. It was a special occasion, my boyfriend's 30th birthday. Most social events revolve around food, and this was no exception. We went to a nice dinner on Friday night, a BBQ on Saturday, and a picnic in the park on Sunday. And a family dinner last night, but that didn't hit my budget. Uuuugh. I never really realized how much I spent on food until I did this blog. I've been aware of what I spend on groceries, but not what I spend on eating out. That's what really hits the budget.

I really can't even tell you what I've eaten the last few days. This weekend there were a lot of indulgences, which were delicious. But my digestive system is definitely a little wonky now. I only ran one time last week, no other exercise. I'm feeling a little off as a result. This week, back to healthy eating and I've penciled in some exercise onto my calendar. Today, spin class. Tuesday and Thursday lunchtime runs with my coworkers. Wednesday and Friday lap swimming. Saturday strength training and a bike ride. Sunday morning long run.
