my quit list includes:
- coffee. $4.70 per cup coffees mind you. i have tired to give it up before, but faield miserably. i can't stand the taste of green tea, and peppermint tea just doesnt do it for me. i'm not really quitting for health reasons, more so beause i will save myself roughly $1,410 over 300 days of the year. looking at that figure now i feel rather ill, considering thats what it cost me for 10 days living like a queen in bali!
magazines. at either $4.00 or $7.60 a pop, these puppies must go! i would also like to use this opportunity to say how shattered i am that Borders has closed down. my regular sunday haunt used to save me lots of money by allowing me to read all the trashy mags from front to back, in a big comfy leather chair, with nobody to tell me off. i estimate by quitting magazines i will save roughly $500 a year, probabaly more!
- sugar. yep. i have done this before. i was initially inspired by Sarah Wilson and her lovely blog. She had caught on to the sugar free craze brought on by author David Gillespie. i went out and bought both his books, and was jolted by the evidence against sugar. our bodies arent made to process it. fats not the enemy, sugar is. i ended up quitting sugar for about two weeks, and i felt amazing. so i am going to do it again. i must say, my main sugar intake is from coffees. bring on the mood swings!
- swearing. (sorry mum!) i am a big swearer. so if you hear me cussing in the street, please kick me and remind me i am supposed to be giving it up! althouh i like the idea of a swear jar at home, theres no way i would adhere to it. so lets not and say we did.
