A week without spending money!!

I hate feel trapped by debt, so I am going to track my spending and put myself on a cash budget and put the rest towards my debt. I am already a boring person - I like reading and picnics, long walks outdoors and farmers markets. While I want to be frugal, I want to be healthy. Gr why is our society is backwards, it's cheaper to eat processed bad foods, than locally grown organic foods. But at least I am stubborn enough to say I don't want to eat crappy food anymore; I am too old to do that to my body. Anyways, that doesn't leave me with any money really to go out or go on trips. The way Ryan puts it, we go out a lot, even though we always share and never drink anything other than water, keep our meals under $10 for the two of us. Makes me want to just not go out at all. Not like I could either, I don't have sugar daddy like Ryan to pay for all my trips and work I am missing. Believe it or not I don't think I could do that. I like to earn things, I would hate to feel in-debt to someone even if they offered. I believe you learn the value of money by doing it the hard way and you appreciate trips more when you earn them and wait. Enough ranting - this week I decided to not spend money for the whole week.

Tuesday - I didn't even go to the farmers market and share a coffee with Ryan. I killed time cleaning and helping John at the office.
Wednesday - laundry and went to the office with John again. Ryan didn't have Qzar so we made burgers and brussel sprouts at home. Watched Grimm off my computer.
Thursday - Window shopping at REI, Ryan picked up products at GNC, ate tuna sandwiches with pickles and mustard, watched End of Game of Thrones and started Dexter, Karaoke at the Greenery.
Friday - Sacramento with mom for the day, Ryan and I ate grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. Continued with Grimm.
Saturday - visited Grandma Ann in Half Moon Bay, we watched One For the Money.
Sunday - ran errands with mom, she got a rug cleaner, watched baby Johnny, Walmart with Ryan he bought T-shirts, Ate Linguini with brown butter and mizithra cheese and tri tip. Watched Planet of the Apes.
Monday - Catherine and Adam cooked Giada's Everyday Italian - Pasta with sweet/hot italian sausage, red peppers, onions, marsala wine and tomato sauce. Continued watching Grimm.

I can't wait to eat more vegetables, thankfully its tuesday again. Off to the farmers market. This weeks goal might be to eat healthier and workout more than what I did last week.
