Getting Lean Physically -- and Financially?

One of the gifts I received for my birthday a few weeks ago was an Amazon gift card, which I used to get an e-subscription for my Kindle and an e-book called "Coach Yourself Thin: Five Steps to Retrain Your Mind, Reclaim Your Power, and Lose the Weight for Good," by Greg Hottinger and Michael Scholtz. The book has excellent reviews on Amazon, so good, I'm a little skeptical of them. Seeing a book with 80 reviews and an average five-star rating is extremely rare; I'm not even sure I've seen that before on any other book I've sought out.

I've just started it, and so far, I like it. I can see a correlation between some of the thought patterns described and my own struggles with weight loss. I also think some might apply to how I view my finances, too. I haven't reached any of the "five steps" yet, but I'm wondering if some might translate into ways that I could coach myself financially as well. We'll see.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.
