Day 2 of Austerity....
Well, yesterday was easy, but last night was hard. I went to an open house of a friend who own's a gorgeous and luxurious spa. How badly did I want to sign up for a treatment? A massage or a facial? If you know me at all, you know the answer to that is VERY BADLY! I even tried all my mental tricks, such as saying "Well, if I book it now but don't actually have the facial until the end of my 30 days, it won't count".... Yeah, I am very good at justifying and rationalizing. But the good news is that I didn't, even though they truly looked sumptuous.... So I will consider that a triumph!
Day 2 is easy so far.... but I can already feel the bubbling up of urges. I got an email to visit a sale a Coach.com, and I was totally jonesing to visit that site, just to look... I did not. Also, as a preventative measure, I deleted any and all shopping apps from my phone.
I also worry about the upcoming weekend. Harvest fest is in our town, which means shopping and fun things to buy and do.... How can I possibly go and not spend money? This is going to be a challenge, but I am confident.... well, confident may be a little strong. How about cautiously optimistic?
I know I want to buy something... I just don't know what or where or when... but I know the craving is there, and I just have to keep away from anything dangerous..... How do you block the shopping channels from cable??
More to come.... Thank you for reading!
