good news bad news:

good news is that I'm somehow down about 2 lbs as of this morning: 178.2, down from 180.5 consistently a few days ago.

bad news is that my period is like 7 days late at this point and my stomach has been queasy for nearly as long, so I might be pregnant

money plans; ignore this it's boring but writing it out helps me visualize

paying off the rest of husband's car (<$1000) next friday when i get paid - freeing up $415ish/mo

sounds like we shouldn't have to pay as much as we were worried about to get my car fixed, not sure how much yet but i shouldn't have to worry as much about not having as much savings as we "should" have rn

will pay off the credit card in a couple months (only carrying a balance so we could pay the car off sooner and free up some money) - should be getting about $1k from insurance to help with that in the next month-ish

then payments will start on our $8000 heloc (no interest currently - rough estimate minimum payments will be $250ish) in jan or feb

and we'll focus on paying off my lowest student loan ($4500ish - freeing up $325/mo) and getting savings back up to ~$12k

recap:

debt reduction: 1000 + CC + 4500 = 5500 + CC

monthly payment reduction 415 + CC - 250 + 325 = 490 + CC

all of that should take us until about the end of next year, and then we'll pay off the heloc after and start shoving money back at our investments and saving a bit more unless something happens (most of 2025).

we should also be reaching the 80% amount on our mortgage around here, so the PMI will drop off (so we'll pay $100/less month towards escrow)

after the heloc is paid off, we'll need to get a new one pretty soon afterwards to do our roof and some basement work -- undecided yet if we'll just do $20-30kish for that or go bigger and do an addition too or not.

if we go small, i'll probably focus on the smaller of my two remaining student loans to dump money towards -- if we go bigger, i'll save as much as possible during the no-payment period of the heloc and then focus in on heloc2 before the rest of my student loans (total student loan payment after the other is paid off will only be about $150/mo and interest is pretty low, so carrying it and paying minimums indefinitely isn't a big deal tbh -- i'd just prefer to not do that lol)

gestational diabetes with this second pregnancy as well, and jesus fuck i miss FRUIT

[greenteawaist]

so bc my gd diet had me losing weight in the back quarter of my pregnancy, I ended it only like 12 lbs up from where I started and I'm like 11 days postpartum and I'm already under my pre-pregnancy weight.

started at 183 and I weighed in at 182.4 yesterday.

now I didn't know if it'll continue to melt off or if I'm at the end of the easy weight loss or what yet, but there's something really validating about having all the diet work I did for the past 2 months paying off in not just a healthy baby, but also the weight loss.
