-At least $130/week saved equates to about a $9000/year raise before taxes.
-I'm eating as much as I want and still losing fat because I don't have to burn off the empty calories from alcohol in the gym.
Old thread, but just read through it all put it on my toolbar to read when i have a craving. I'm 48 hours in now feel much better already, got a good run in. after run i won't lie i thought about rewarding myself with a beer, but hopped on here again.
The thing about having 8 hours more productive time a day is a big one for me. I've been procrastinating for months getting my license back in order (although i dont need car here in the city), volunteering at the hospital and taking pharmacy technician exam, but instead i would get home from work drink, sleep, wake up stare at TV screen in a blank stupor for couple hours then go back to work and rinse then repeat.
