Let's talk...weight loss & other issues

Yeah, I started Weight Watchers yesterday. I'm on day 2, and so far, it's going pretty well. I've done this before, a couple of years ago, and it really worked for me, which is what made me decide to do it again.

I'm hoping to lose around 15-20 pounds by the end of June. I think that's pretty reasonable. 

So, let me know if you'd like me to do a weekly update on that. :)

I've been less consistent with updating this week, but a lot has happened to me, and I'm beyond stressed. I also had to extend my giveaway because I can't afford to ship the prize right now. Basically, my husband got laid off work last year, and he's been collecting unemployment, because he is a full time student and we don't have a car right now, so finding a job is very difficult. Well, he's been dropped from unemployment benefits, for no reason. That leaves us with only my paycheck, which isn't possible even when I'm getting my normal hours, but I've now been cut to 1 day a week, which means I can't even afford food. So, I've been a bit stressed. My husband did just get his financial aid money back from the school, so we're trying to find a car, but it's proving to be nearly impossible. Life likes to kick me while I'm down. A lot. I've been trying to sell some of my makeup, clothes, shoes & nail polishes, but no luck so far!

I'm trying to stay positive and hope that we can find a car so we can both get new jobs, but it's hard to be positive right now. I wasn't going to post any of this here, but I thought I'd explain why I haven't been posting much.

On a happier note, my amazing best friend and her gracious parents are letting my husband and I use their condo at the beach the last week of June. I've been married for almost 3 years, but we've never been able to afford a honeymoon, so we're finally getting one. It's about 1000x harder to save up money for when we're down there now that everything else has went terribly, but we'll figure it out, I suppose.

Also, we will be flying there and back, so if you have any travel tips, let me know. I've never been on a plane before, so I have no idea what we're in for! Also, we plan to only bring carry-ons as I'm terrified of them losing my luggage, so any tips for fitting a weeks worth of stuff into a carry-on would be great, as well as what you can take on the plane as far as liquids and things of that sort.

I'm also looking for a Z-palette if anyone has one they'd like to sell for really cheap. I think it would come in handy when I travel this summer. 

Thanks for reading! Sorry for such a depressing post!
