so much to do...

So as my journey progresses, I feel great, think I am looking better, and I have more focus and motivation than I have had in a very long time.  after making my juice for lunch I am thinking that with my brain working better I am finding more and more options to not only eat and live healthier I am discovering more and more ways to do it cheaply.  Sure I could sign up for some fancy diet, where they deliver my food to me and I get cardboard in portions that do not satisfy the beast within... or I could eat healthier food that my body is evolved to eat and just keep doing what I am doing. yay for the healthier foods and doing what I'm doing.  In the process of learning as much as I can about diets and exercises and budgeting money etc I am finding more and more that sustainable gardening and such things would greatly reduce my food expenses and give me more activities to do during different parts of the day. granted its 90 degrees outside and right this second its not very high on my priority list considering I am currently procrastinating writing a couple essays and revising one... sigh so much to do.
So, on to what I am trying to say here today, looking and feel good is a start, it is not the goal. like I have said before, being healthy and losing weight are not goals, they are responsible living, and in this responsible living, cutting the fat out of the bills is essential as well, with our country rapidly sliding into the gutter financially why not do what you can do to reduce the frivolous spending and the excess US as Americans are known for.
I have figured out that getting rid of my fancy cell phone that allows me to watch movies, text people, surf the internet, calculate tips at a restaurant, listen to music, watch television, play games, bank. read books, take pictures, change the sound of my voice, etc etc etc, I think I can even make a phone call with it, if I can only find the app for it... seriously $500 later, I am connected to everything 24/7 I can receive my emails  includethe 200 dollars it costs to have the family connected as well... no wonder we have no clue what our kids are doing these days, we do not even have to walk down the hall to talk to them anymore..
200 dollars a month, to not see the person I am talking to. or 200 more dollars on my vehicle payment to pay off the debt which would quickly free up....oh 700 a month, sure it would take a few months but I know why I am broke now. if I cut my 3-4 hundred a month grocery bill in half whew, I could free up almost 1000 dollars a month. which would make that next car I pay cash for a whole lot fancier or make that Hawaii vacation a lot easier to accomplish. specially if I used Chris Guillebeau's http://travelhacking.org/ whoa, I could almost get paid to live life like James Bond or Jason Bourne.... just a thought.
