A Start Over and New Car

 I've decided my start date to start over AGAIN...will be tomorrow.  I've got salsa turkey cooking in the crockpot today.  Normally I'd use chicken but I had frozen turkey breast cutlets in the freezer and decided to use those instead.  Recipe is pretty simply....boneless-skinless chicken breast (or in my case turkey), a pack of taco seasoning (McCormick, store brand...any of them will do) and a jar of salsa (any brand or heat level works).  Then just let cook on low for the day.  I'll shred it later and use in tortillas for lunch this week.  I bought reduced fat cheese, reduced fat sour cream, pinto beans and lettuce to go on them as well.  I'm going to have a garden salad along with it as well as a piece of fruit.  So lunch is taken care of for at least the next 3 days.

I'm hoping to start walking a mile a day also, course today would be day one and it's raining....as long as it's not a heavy rain this evening; I'll still do it.  I also found a 10 minute standing ab video on YouTube and think I'll do that 3 days a week.  

So hopefully, I'm off to a good start.  Oh, and I'm doing the Better Balance plan on Healthi (old WW Freestyle/Blue)

Back in July 2020 I purchased this:

A 2020 Hyundai Venue - brand new!!  It was the first year they came out.  I loved this little car, I called her Apple and we made a few trips to the beach not to mention all around town!!  Apple is still a very good car!

BUT.... over time, I wanted something a little bigger and with a few more bells and whistles.  Back in May I noticed the dealership had a used Kona (next size up) which was a year newer with about the same amount of mileage as Apple.  It had ever bell and whistle possible.  So hubby and I went to test drive.  I wasn't as impressed with the Kona as I was my Venue.  The inside seemed smaller even though it's supposedly a larger vehicle.  Plus the dealership wasn't into making any type of deal that day.  So I went home in Apple - and was extremely satisfied that I made that choice.

About a month ago I notice a used Tucson ( 2 steps up from Venue) on their website.  Same year as Apple, less mileage and the bells & whistles I wanted without a bunch of extras.  It also had a really good price.  So hubby and I headed back to the dealership again for a test drive.  We loved it....the dealership was willing to work with us this time and we walked out with STELLA....

I really hated saying goodbye to my Apple; but I couldn't resist!  Stella came as a preowned certified Hyundai....which basically means that the warranties all transferred over to me from the original owner and supposedly passed all these checkpoints.

I've had Stella two weeks now and notice that she seemed to be getting louder...then I noticed the muffler partially hanging and then we were back at the dealership.  Quite obviously someone didn't do all the checkpoints!  Fortunately, she'll be getting a new exhaust at no cost to me!!!  She's just a little loud right now.

I'm sure Apple is sitting in the dealership lot laughing.......
