Had to write a fairly hefty check to the auto repair guys today for work on my '97 Honda. Called for a good stiff drink afterwards. I had a big fat bacon cheeseburger instead.* AND the fries.

So no cheat day this weekend. Actually, I need to stop with the one cheat day or one cheat meal or whatever excuse I'm using. I have been good about sticking to my altered meal plan (we're not gonna use the "D" word), but the weight's not coming off fast enough and I'm not burning any extra calories.

Couldn't afford to get the a/c in the car fixed, too (would have added another $900), so will just drive with the windows down for now. Car is hot on the inside, looks crappy on the outside, but at least the engine purrs now.

* (It made sense at the time.)
