Could Work - Money

So I have a new idea that might help my finances -

A) my tax refund goes straight into savings - thats a given.

B) Put the ATM/Debit Card/ My Life into my lock box.

C) Take the Credit Card from the lock box and put into the "other compartment" of my wallet where it will be out of sight, out of mind but there in case of an emergency. 

D) Use only cash. Set a certain amount for the week, put the rest in the lock box. Once it is gone, its gone.

E) The rest of the pay check goes untouched (except for bills) in the bank.

I'm going to start this Friday - the weekend will be a challenge. Will post results.

Just as I suspected, the P90x routine I "revised" to fit my needs is going to have to be postponed, again!! Like I said, I am away from home for a few days. I brought my laptop, set it up in the make shift gym they have here, and was ready to go. But, lo-and-behold, my laptop doesn't read DVDs? I don't really know how that is possible bc the PC is only a few years old, but I've never tried to play a DVD on it until now. So today, the gym was crowded and I only got in 20min on the bike before I had to leave. Then, later, I went back and did 15min on the eliptical, a few ab moves I remembered from "Ab Ripper", and a weightlifting moves for arms. Thats my workout for today. Pretty sad isn't it. I'll be back to P90x on Friday. Tomorrow promises another day like today.

So here is how things add up for today so far:

Coffee w/ soy milk and sugar - only had a few sips.

1 pc wheat toast w/ "ICB its not butter" spray

Subway 6' Turkey and Ham on Italian Sub with lots of veggies and a little Honey Mustard; Coke Zero.

Dinner: hasn't happened yet but Rotiserie chicken, rice and veggies is planned.

If I can eat this, and only this, I think the sad gym time will be compensated.
