Boy, this is a lot of info to record.
This food tracking reminds me of when I was a teenager on New Year's Eve--and, incidentally, slim, wearing slender brown jeans [yes, brown, I think a hand-me-down from my brother Will?]--and vowed to stop eating desserts/chocolate for the new year.
It was mainly a wish for better, Bonne Bell skin, no breakouts. Then, after the clock struck midnight, sweets would appear at the Bergaminis' lovely family party in New Rochelle, New York and my resolve was fleeting. The main attraction in the dining room was a local bakery treat that the Bergaminis, who had nine kids, called a meltaway--a Danish pastry with a thick, buttery crumb top.
It would be easy to lose my resolve in recording all of this diary tracking on my blog, too. It is a big commitment.
Here is Wed/Thurs/Friday

$ MONEY SPENT OUT OF POCKET
I received two payments. I paid the dentist a lot {we are still paying down a VERY BIG family bill, don't ask}. I caught up with payments to my therapist, which felt good. And of course a lot of the money went to our family bill account.
