My Accomplishment

I don't know how accurate it is, but I ran 1.3 miles on the wii this morning. I was very excited. It may not be quite as accurate as running outside but I don't care...I ran. That is all that matters. To me...I made a big accomplishment for myself.

1st Shopping Trip Report

Well I never did so much sweating in my life trying to do the coupons. It was a bit of a rough go. I spent  about $7 dollars at walgreens and saved $9 total. So I think I did fairly well. At Target I saved a total of $31.00 in savings. I spent a little too much there but you can't beat that savings. I now have more of an idea of how it is suppose to work.

I have my shopping list for todays adventure to Walgreens. I will buy 2 lysol toilet bowl cleaners, 2 tooth brushes, 2 toothpastes, 2 pantene shampoos, and four rolls of toilet paper for the sum of 8.28 + sales tax. I hope it turns out the way it should. lol.

Coupon Extravaganza

So Mike's cousin is into coupon savings and she posts pictures of everything she gets for $10.00 or less. It is amazing. So I have contacted her and she is giving me tips on how to do it. I have my coupons clipped and now I just have to go shopping. I must admit...I am a bit nervous just because I don't want to mess up and walk out with more out of pocket. So today I am going to go to Target and Walgreens for some fantastic deals.

I watched extreme couponing on TLC and about died with all the savings they do. I don't think I will be as good as them but I hope to do some serious savings and get our food storage to be well stocked. Mike's cousin, Sara says that you get better the more you do it. She has only been doing it for 2 months. So I hope I am successful today.

Walk

Yesterday was such an exciting day for me. The sun came out and it warmed up. I have been keeping my fingers crossed that we will be in the 70's by the weekend as the forcast has said so far. I really love being able to walk outside. Yesterday, I took Levi to the soccer fields and just walked. I forgot to put on my pedometer so was unsure of the length, but I know it had to be over 3 miles. My legs really felt it after I was done. I then let Levi play at the park and went home.

I also did an hour and 19 minutes of biggest loser yesterday. I sure feel it as well. I was proud of myself for being able to do it. I just pushed on through and got it done. I hope that this week will be a good week for me again on the weight.
