Trying to save money is so hard lol

I have been trying to save up a little money here and there.  Mainly cause I do want to buy better quality equipment for my home gym when we get it all set up.  I have a cheap rower, and want a Concept 2.  Those things are like $800-900.  Not cheap.   I also want a assault bike to go with my spin bike.  Now those are not quite as expensive.  I can get a good one for around $600.   So I've been trying to save up some money so I can slowly get stuff.

But then temptation strikes lol.  I just ordered a bunch of stuff from Juvia's Place.  I wanted the new Saharan palette but it of course was sold out.  So I got the others.  All of them lol.   And last week I ordered some stuff from Kylie Cosmetics.  Oh, its not all that much, but still.  That money could have gone towards my home gym.

So I need to really REALLY buckle down.  Next paycheck I'm going to put at least $100 into my savings account.   If I do that with every paycheck, I'd have that assault bike in just a few months!  And then I can save up for that rower.  Maybe I'll even pick up an extra shift sometime and put my overtime into savings.  That would help too.

My fitness journey has been going fairly well.  I've totally fallen in love with lifting weights again.  Now I like Crossfit.  I really do.  But well, its just not my dream love.  I just love lifting weights.  I love how strong it makes me feel.   How it changes my body.  I just love weight lifting/bodybuilding.  

I'm going to thin out my fitness video/dvd collection.  I've got stuff there I've not used for years, and won't ever use again.  I've sold some stuff already.  Used the money to buy a weight lifting belt, some BCAAs and new plate weights for my barbell.  I bet I could sell more and use the money for other stuff.  I love to sell the stuff I don't use and buy new stuff.   Like getting free money lol.  Kind of allows me to save money and buy some stuff I want.  

I have also gotten a magnetic palette and have been working on depotting some palettes and putting them in the magnetic one.  It really will help with storage.  I got all my Naked palettes and the Manny MUA and one BH Cosmetics palette in it and still have more room to go.  I need to go get some stuff so I can put all my Morphe palettes in one. I could really free up space putting my Morphe palettes down into one or two magnetic palettes.

Lots to talk about today I guess.  Hope everyone has a great day!
