Alternator's bad / 7.6lbs gone!

February 11th, 2011 at 12:44 am

So yep, looks like T's car has a bad alternator. I can't really complain because that car is a champ. Bought it for 2k three years ago at 120(?)k miles. T's put 80k or so on it in those years and it's required next to no maintenance (except for when it was stolen and some parts stripped, but that's another story..). We've really been so lucky, but I need to make sure we beef up our savings so when that day comes for a new to us car we are prepared.

I met with the health/weight doctor today and guess what?! 1 week down and 7.6 lbs GONE!! I was totally shocked. I was hoping for like 2-3 lbs, but it goes to show how much my body doesn't like being at this weight. 30 more lbs til I feel sorta normal. Blahh, If only I had caught this problem sooner. Oh well, at least I'm doing something about it now. For anyone who's wondering, I think it's sort of a modified South Beach diet he's got me on. Lean proteins, no pasta, no bread, lotsa veggies (and somehow I've stuck with it!) I previously had thought a week without bread and I would've died of heartache!

Financially wise everythings pluggin along just fine. The alternator throws a mini wrench in things, but T says it shouldn't cost much and he'll do all the labor himself. Love that my husband is halfway decent with cars! Smile

    Good for you on the eating plan. I think the "no pasta" would be a deal breaker for me...

    Can you have non-wheat breads or pastas, or will that lead to a breach of your diet? When we were in the States we used to get it, and it was delicious, not to mention better insurance for the waistline. I actually miss it!
