On Thursday I wrote that I cashed in 80 hours of comp and vacation time. Jon said I should have the check Monday or Tuesday, but I had it by Friday and Brad brought it over ($900). I deposited it in the bank before we went walking. We hit the trail in San Leandro by the Bay and walked all the way to the end and back - about 5.6 miles according to WalkerTracker.com (based on the number of steps I took). Most of the walk was in the dark of course, but Brad and I had flashlights.

Saturday before church I paid off Bill Me Later for what I still owed on NutriSystem - about $250. I am no longer in any debt! I have NS paid off, and Mom said she would take what I owed her out of the Christmas money she is sending me, so I will get almost no money from her. It's fair since I do owe her. So that is taken care of too. Yay - no more debt!

Saturday after sunset Brad and I went shopping. First we hit the pet food store and bought two huge bags of cat food plus some cat grass for Abby. Then we went to Southshore Mall in Alameda and hit an office supply store for the lithium batteries my pedometer and food scale take. They had four packages of two batteries each. I bought all four packages.

Then we went to Safeway to get one bottle of dry Riesling wine. Expensive, but I've decided to drink less Riesling and get a good DRY one when I do. Then we went to Trader Joe's and bought a case of "Two Buck Chuck," half Merlot and half Cabernet. $25 with tax. Not bad. I've heard good things about this wine, so we will see.

Then we went over to Mervyn's to look for slippers (mine are falling apart) and a new bra. I ended up buying two pairs of slippers since they were on sale, and after looking around the bra department I found two bras that worked. One was the correct style and I could fit a medium! The other will work, but does kind of squish my boobs together.

Then we went to Applebee's for drinks. I had three glasses of wine, and Brad had two beers. I paid for one of his beers since I felt rich. Then we went home where I had a light beer and made some dinner for Brad and I. After dinner I totally pigged out on 100 Calorie Packs (two) and a ton of Special K Protein Plus. Over the course of yesterday I managed to go through an entire liter of the Soy Slender soy milk. I have got to get this under control. It's terrible.

Today I bought myself a "Look Better In the Buff" gift set for myself ($20), paid some bills, and bought a Christmas gift for Eleanor off Amazon. We talked last week and she said she wanted this specific thing (an anti-Bush calendar - something I would never buy!). The entire $900 is now gone. I can't believe it! But I should be receiving a couple checks soon for a total of about $400 so I will have enough money to get me through until my next paycheck. We'll also be receiving three paychecks in January because of the way the pay cycles fall.

I bought more Alli pills on Thursday from WalMart, and made a decision about Alli. I asked Dr. Eades about it on his blog. If you scroll to the bottom of this page, you'll see our exchange. Since I am not getting side effects, I decided to take Alli less during the week, but dramatically increase the dose on Saturdays when I am eating a lot of fat.

The results from this week: I skipped my magnesium dose on Friday and Saturday night to rule that out as a factor. I took five Alli pills and have my usual pig out on peanuts and Cheese-It's. Yesterday evening and today I had very sift stools and this time I know it wasn't the magnesium. So I guess that's the "treatment effects" I get. I also had some cramping so I won't be taking that many again. The only reason I showed a loss on the scale this morning is because I spent so much time in the bathroom last night and this morning (and since then!).
