YES!

So a small victory for myself this morning! I easily slid into jeans I wasnt' able to fit in comfortably two weeks ago. I did a happy dance this morning! It's those moments that far outweigh the moments when I'm craving something or thinking I can't do this. I haven't been on the scale in about a week in a half, and I'm not sure I want to get right back on it either. I'm thinking I'll weigh myself every two weeks. I don't want the number to get me down! I will be taking measurements this weekend. I think I'll be measuring my arms, chest, waist, hips & thighs.

Yesterday I went to Roots market on my way home from work. For those of you who aren't familiar with Roots, it is an organic grocery store similar to Trader Joes or Whole Foods. I fell in love, it is now my favorite spot! So many tasty snacks that are all veggie or all fruit. I only picked up a few things, but my favorite so far is the dried apples because they are so tasty! I also grabbed some veggie chips that are made fresh by Roots, and they are pretty good as well! I kind of like eating clean, I thought I would hate it but it's kind of great. Is it silly that I'm excited to go back and get more stuff for next week? Lunch today is something new, a black bean burger and hummus with veggies, could be good!
I applied for a few part time jobs last night. I'm looking to find something that I can do a few nights a week and the weekends. I NEED to get rid of these student loans. My Dad suggested a part time job to fund my own luxeries, and use my full time income to go solely towards loans (and gas of course). But I think I'm going to give it a go! Once I get rid of these loans, I can move back out or I can get a new car, or BOTH! I've just been thinking about it a lot and discussing it with my parents a lot, and I don't want to be 35 with all this debt. I want to be free of it, and I think it's completely possible with a little self discipline in the spending area and working a part time job. I am still doing Pure Romance parties as well part time, so if you're out there and you want to have a fun girls night, let me know!!!!!!! :-)

See some pictures below of what I got at Roots, and my snacks!
