Sunday, worried.

I can't sleep, I woke up at least 4 times during the night last night, thinking about this whole money problem of mine - and, if I was coming up with solutions, I wouldn't mind so much. But, I'm not. I'm just waking up, staring at the clock and rolling back over as I tell myself to stop thinking about it all and just sleep. Again this morning, with no reason to get up early, I was awake at 7am. 7am on a freakin Sunday. Oh well, I've started the slow cooker with some Beef thing I've been meaning to try - it's not WW Friendly, so... I'm going to have to be careful how much I eat of it. I'll be calculating the points for it later, I'm hoping it's good enough to have with some veggies and that's it. Although, I have a feeling it would taste fantastic on a bun.

So, I went over on my points a bit last night. I was just so hungry for some reason, and seconds before I grabbed some more snack food (I was already munching on the Crunchers and the chips, chocolate and other crap in the house was starting to look like an easy fix) I thought.. just freakin make yourself something filling to eat before you eat everything you can get your hands on. So, I made a sandwich. Not sure how many pnts the meat actually was, but it was deli meat and I thought 2 pnts a shot was fair. Ah well, whatever. There are still Crunchers left, so I only ate like 4 out of the 5pnts, so if the meat was more - it can take a pnt from there. Point of the matter is, the sandwich worked and I felt much better - thank god.

Well, I guess I should start the day. Need to motivate myself to get some tasks done around the house - a few things were accomplished yesterday, but it's a never ending list. Plus, it looks sunny out this morning, instead of that crap rain. So, I think I'll go for a walk and earn myself a few activity pnts incase this Beef thing is a way bad idea. ~Winks~

Afternoon Update:
So, the Buttered/Garlic Beef I made was a hit - I can't believe how much juice came out of it! (It's my first time using a slowcooker - so maybe it's always like that?) It was pretty good. I had a receipt to follow, but it asked for 1/2 cup of butter, so I cut that back and used a bit of chicken broth instead. I also added onions and garlic, which wasn't in the original ingredients. It was really very good. I kinda guessed on the pnts though. Looked in the book and saw that a slice of beef was like.. 5pnts. And then since it had butter in it I added another 3pnts just for that. Though, I avoided getting the liquid cause I figured that was were most of the cals would be. I think that's fair enough? Whatever, if it's not I still have those 29 flex pnts sitting there. I'd really like to try a roast with baby potatoes, green beens, red onions and baby carrots in it. I can only imagine how yummy that would be.

And, on a crappier note, I picked my car up today. Total came to $834. Ouch. Daniel, I don't want to hear about how you could have fixed it for so much cheaper.. blahblah blah. Until you actually drive here, take my car apart and start fixing things - no complaining! OR if I'm spending your $$ on it, then you can complain - it's my money, my piece of crap car - so be nice to me! ~Sticks her tongue out~ So, now I have to pay that off next month, and I have to figure out what I'm going to do.... OH the pressure.
