Things to ponder on...

Veneers - To get or not to get?

Granted, I have no $ for said veneers at this moment. However, do I go for the veneers, or do I get the teeth bleached? Mine are nasty yellow (at least I think so) and have always been. So, not sure the bleaching would work as well.

Grande Pumpkin Spice Soy with Whip Lattes

I love them...I mean, LOVE them! If I could have a helmet attached to my head with really warm pumpkin spice latte continually flowing down a straw to my mouth all day long, I would be oh so happy. Another reason why I like fall...

Alas, the pumpkin spice latte is not on my diet plan...why, oh why did I start my diet in the fall? All the good holiday foods and drinks are coming out! Oh well...I went to Starbucks Web site, and if I get a tall pumpkin spice soy w/out whip latte, I will only consume 230 cals (the one I want is 370 cals). It is a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Plus, I can't really afford 1 latte/day right now. So, if I add one latte to my week (on Sundays, which is my "resting" day), I won't really get too addicted, spend way less money, and have a nice treat all at the same time. When I'm rich and famous, I can afford all the pumpkin spice lattes I want AND the personal trainer to kick my butt in gym afterward. Problem meet solution...

Next up, Soy Cheese? Do I make the switch?

At Wal-mart, the soy cheese costs $2.98 for 12 slices. My generic American cheese is $2.46 for 25 slices. Now, I have not sampled the soy cheese. I might like it better, which could cause another problem. I've been snacking on the cheese when I feel slightly peckish. So, the 12 slices would go way too fast. When I'm already spending $2.97 for rice milk, I would like to keep my expenses down. However, I would eliminate dairy completely from my diet with the switch. I'm not sure at this point...

Well, that's all I've got right now. Time to actually do some real work now...
