#pre planning

I’m going back to what I know works and created a dinner plan for the next two weeks until the next pay day.

This will help @hrstories1234 and I pre-track for the evening and not Be tempted to go out to eat.

The exception is the “On Your Own Day” because that’s more of a spontaneous time. Never know if you have leftovers, or just wanna have a sandwhich ya know.

Preparing for the Big Trip: Passports

Whether you are going for your first big trip to find the best country to retire cheap, or your second one (like I am) then you are going to become a master of passports. The Canadian passport is ranked 5th in the world’s most useful passport scale. (Germany is #1). 

If you haven’t applied for a passport for a while, rules have changed! First of all, time lines….

If you need it as fast as…

So this week I have had three meals out and about to have my fourth this afternoon.

Tuesday Night: Dinner at the movie theater place

Wednesday: Lunch at Jason's Deli and Little Cesar for Dinner

Thursday (today): Panera for lunch

It hasn’t been anything crazy or over the top, and everything has been tracked, but I know my body is feeling it because I am up 3lbs right now (shhhhh it was a mid week check-in). Granted I am sure eating the pizza at 10pm last night could cause a little bloat, but I need to focus on the rest of the week and not let myself grow weak with staying on track.

So, tonight I will be cooking a nice veggie loaded dinner and tomorrow will a packed lunch. Ironically tomorrow I am going to see a movie with friends after work, but I have decided because of this weeks eating I WILL NOT order any popcorn. Perhaps I will pop my own bag and bring it in. I need to figure out snacks to bring into the movie that will inevitably be my dinner too.

FRIDAY GOAL: WAKE UP EARLY AND GET A 45 MINUTE WALK IN SO I DON’T HAVE TO DO IT LATE LATE AFTER THE MOVIE!

WHO WANTS TO BE MY WAKE UP CALLER? (*COUGH* @grandenoirceur *COUGH*)

So, as you all have heard me say like a million times now, I am going to a Brazilian Steakhouse on Saturday for my Birthday. This is the one day I am allowing myself to not track, eat all the meats, have some drinks, and if I am not too full a dessert.

However, because I know this lovely meal is coming I have been trying my damnedest to not eat my weekly points all week. I mean I am still going to mega go over, but it can help that I have eaten amazingly all week.

Anyways today is weird because while it is my birthday I am trying to make going out to lunch with my cousin, dessert provided by the office, and dinner with parents work all within 49 daily points. I literally only brought 0 point snacks/fruit with me for today so I won’t bump the number up. I don’t know if you can count this as dedication or craziness. LoL

With all my pre-planning efforts I am only using 3sp of my weeklies today. So, if I can stay on track I consider this a win win! Don’t worry, I am not having a un-enjoyable birthday in forms of eating because I am going to enjoy the fruit tart the office is getting me (again thanks cousin for the spoilers) and we are going to Longhorns tonight and I so have an appetizer planned in.

It is actually a simple process and all you need is creativity and ambition to deliver a brilliant podcast. There are several ways of going about making a podcast but I will set about giving you an easy and straightforward method. Your first step is to choose your equipment, format, resources and a theme. You have to realize that your labelling is vital as you want to attract listeners and nobody wants to listen to a podcast that you labelled, “Thoughts” or something boring as that.

A label like that will only work if you are a huge A-List celebrity and the same goes for naming a theme, which must also be compelling. You format is essential to and you must familiarize yourself with length, script and scheduling as well. Many people do not say this, however according to my opinion is a pre script essential as you might run out of the right words, or stammer when you forget what you wanted to say, etc.
