Tonight mark one week since my official first weigh in. I don't want to jinx myself, but it feels different this time. I was able to go into grocery stores this week and most totally ignore the chocolate aisles.
I returned the non-working food processor to Aldi, and then stopped at Walgreen's and bought a Mini-bullet using my $5 rewards towards it and did not buy candy. (I would before use the $5 as an excuse to buy candy for "free")
It looks like I am down about 4lbs so far - though some of that is probably water weight.
I did have pizza Thursday night, but wrapped up one of the slices to freeze for Thursday lunch, and told DH he could have the other one.
Maybe I've finally flipped the switch like with soda.
Our grocery spending definitely shows the difference. We are at $182 for the month, and other than produce, I don't see any more til Friday.

Using the mini-Magi Bullet today, I made hummus. DH was awake and taste tested it - thumbs up. I did use canned chick peas, but will get some dry ones to use once I'm out of canned.
In the Instapot I made a pot of Great Northern Beans, and then my sweet potatoes and farro for lunches.
In a bit, I'll be using it to make "pulled pork" with soy curls, and then brussel sprouts - for dinner.
I got YNAB up to date today, and got all my receipts into Receipt Hog and ReceiptPal. I'm 8 receipts away from a $100 gift card in ReceiptPal.
I cashed out for $25 PayPal from Swagbucks, and also for $10 from Achievemint.
I also got notice that $200 cash back reward has been credited on the recent credit card deal.
I ordered a meal delivery from HomeChef through Swagbucks. It cost $20, but I should receive $20 worth of Swagbucks in return. Making it free (obv.) That may be my lunches for a week in February (or Sunday dinner with DH, plus a few lunches.)
I need to get something to lay my sweaters out to dry - something away from the cats (and cat hair.) Wen I bought all those sweaters, I didn't realize most of them were hand wash. Oops.
Week 1 Dietbet, etc

I've been considering a Bullet, but I'm on the fence. I'll keep reading your blogs to see how things are going before purchasing

Would the cats lay on something like this? http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40244831/

Thanks VS
Thanks Kashi. I've slowly been moving closer to vegan for awhile, but this will be taking me even closer.
Maybe not - I'm afraid they'd knock it over though.
