I think signing up for gym membership is a good idea! Working out 5 to 6 times a week has done wonders for me! Sometimes dieting can only do so much with weight loss.

Every time I tell myself "no more excuses" and I always come up with some. I have to find my motivation. I think I have but it is such a struggle. I can totally relate to your weight loss problem.

My mom prepares that dish nearly the same way you've prepared it. It's delicious! It's too bad I can't eat it because I need to stay away from rice for awhile. -sigh- Filipinos call that dish “Arroz Caldo.” My mom prepares that dish nearly the same way you’ve prepared it.

Hope you can find it or get a replacement soon!

Now that another kitchen mate has mentioned it, there is a guy in my kitchen with similar cutlery so I'll ask him later if he's seen my spoon :\ But nice revenge tough for us it's like, anything on the table is for everyone :P This is the first time my stuff has gone missing though.

I had various glasses broken and plates stolen by other people who had literally just rummaged through my cupboard. I took to keeping my cutlery and crockery only in my room, and washing it in the sink in there too. I also once stole a box of After Eight mints from the dorm kitchen before, because I felt angry about not being invited to the dorm Christmas party (seriously) so I was like, "Fuck you dickwads, I'm taking your chocolates." :P Tip: don’t take anything to university and leave it in common rooms unless you want it to get broken, stolen or used without your permission.

]]> Comment on Student Budgeting by Naco http://falling-leaves.org/read/2011/10/student-budgeting/#comment-93 Naco Tue, 18 Oct 2011 01:15:07 +0000 http://falling-leaves.org/?p=147#comment-93 I need to follow some of these! Some I do already and some I do for a few days and then end up failing miserably. I ended up signing up on http://mint.com to keep track of how much I spend and on what, and you can also set up budgets for yourself (they also have an app which I love using on my iPhone). I have found it helpful with budgeting myself more, although some days I do ignore it :P Otherwise, I try to buy as much food as I can from work since I get a discount (such as necessities like toothpaste to foods like fruit juices, pasta, etc) and try to prepare food verse going out to eat. I also freeze what I don't use (especially with raw meats). I keep getting coupons but fail at using them, which I am trying to get better at. I choose quality over quantity with some things as well (especially meats, veggies, and produce) I'd rather pay a few cents more and know I am getting a better/tastier product than buy from the cheaper stores and generally in the end the food lasts longer so I do end up saving some money.
