Uh Oh

Well I was all proud of myself for doing well on the health kick. However, today didn't go well.

Here is what I ate today:

breakfast- pineapple, strawberries, cheese stick

lunch- BK Whopper and fries soda

dinner- 2 pieces of pizza from Pizza Hut

snack- small woopie pie

Do you see any vegetables in there? nope I sure don't.

Positives- I got the small fry and a diet soda from BK. I only ate 2 pieces of pizza rather than 4. I didnt eat the other woopie pie I set out for myself. It is currently in the refrigerator and I really dont even want it right now.

Tomorrow is weigh in day. I will do better.

While this infertility is tough I have a few friends going through some really tough times right now and it really makes me appreciate the things I do have in life.

Maybe

Am I becoming healthy? Maybe. I have started a running barely running program. This is my 4th week. It is called Couch to 5K. I have heard a lot of people try it. Many say it is a really easy way to get into running. Others say it is too fast paced. I will see. I am hoping to stick to it. It has given me a goal to work towards and I enjoy getting exercise. I have also been eating better. I am trying to follow weight watchers and eat fruits and veggies. I think that I am doing pretty well. I am down 10 pounds from the heaviest that I have been so that is awesome. This week I am doing the running program Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I also walk on Tuesday and Thursday. I am hoping to get an hour in every day. It has been working out great to walk/run right after school in the hallways since it is winter. I even got to run outside for a little bit today since it got up to 67.I weigh in twice a week. Sundays-for weight watchers and Wednesday-for the Biggest Loser Program at school. I think I will post all of my stats every Sunday. That's all for now.

Couponing- The Addiction Continues

As I was driving between five Walgreens I felt like I have a problem. That problem is couponing. I guess if saving money is my worst habit I have I will stick with it. Here are my stats from today's haul.

Money Spent                 $27.56
Register Rewards           $21.60
CVS Bucks                      $8.98

This means that I made $3.02 today and I got the following items:
2 gatorade
2 8 ct Excedrin
4 Balance Bars
4 razors
6 bottles of contact solution
1 heat wrap
3 cough drinks
8 packages of maxi pads

I snapped these next two pictures. I love the way the sun looks on leaves that are in the middle of changing colors.

Labor Day Weekend

 So I haven't had a chance to plan out my shopping trip until tonight so I haven't gotten very good deals for the week. I went to Walgreen's and got the above items for $7.06. I also got $8 in RR back to use on my next purchase. I would have gotten a better deal but I needed the Kit Kats for the cake below.

I made this cake for our family reunion today.

 Famility Reunion
We went to a Family Reunion for my mom's side of the family today. It is always held during Labor Day weekend. It was a really nice time. We ate and then played some softball. We got some bad news shortly after we arrived home. We found out that my uncle (mom's brother) passed away in his sleep last night. This has come as quite a shock because he was only 58 and really didn't have major health problems.

More Deals

I got all of the stuff in this picture for FREE and they gave be  9 cents back again.

 

The bottles of lemonade and orange juice cost $1 and I had $1 off coupons for them. The Cascade Packs cost $.97 cents and I had save $1 coupons. Yay Wal Mart!!!!!

More good deals!!

This blog seems to have turned into a place to brag about all of my great deals.

 Here is my most recent find:

These Febreeze  warmers sell for $2.97 and I had 3 save $3 coupons. I use all three at WalMart and was able to get these warmers for free and the store gave me 9 cents at the end of the transaction. All I had to do was carry these out of the store and they paid me.
