For anyone that has not seen Extreme couponing on TLC, let me tell you, you're missing out! About a year ago, my friend Ashlee started her couponing craze and I actually called her this week to appoligize for making fun of her :) After hearing about some of the great deals she got and watching this show, I decided to get the Sunday paper for the coupons. I realize I don't have 60 hours a week to dedicate to couponing like these people, but I figure even if I save a few dollars a week it's worth it! The past 2 weeks I've already saved about $25 on groceries/household stuff and I'm pretty proud of it. It's kind of addicting! I'm pretty sure Ray has thought I was nuts watching me get so excited clipping coupons, and going to all these sites to find the best deals. However, I was impressed that he took the time to look up a few sites for me at work and write down the ones he recommended. He later admited he likes when I save money so he can spend more...ha, ha!!! So this is my newest hobby.
I am also slightly obsessed with snapfish and vistaprint. I have been ordering many things from these sites the past few weeks. I have found so many cute items that can be personalized and they aren't very expensive. I've gotten a few nice things with Kenley's picture on them that I'm waiting to get. I got a flyer in the mail with a coupon code for a free baby photo album from snapfish. I uploaded about 30 pics and can't wait to see how it came out. I think I have been on these sights every day the past few weeks. (Mostly when I am at work and have some extra time.)
I am trying to force myself to get back in the habit of working out at least 5 times a week. I am really trying to stay motivated to lose the rest of this baby weight. I realize I may only be able to call it "baby" weight for another month or so, and really I should call it "eating out/not working out" weight. It's really hard to work out when I get home from a long day at work, have to feed Kenley, try to make something for Ray and I to eat, do a few chores, and try to spend a few minutes relaxing. But, I am trying to do it right when I get home before anything else. I am proud to say that I worked out every day this week. I have been running about 2-3 miles a day mostly on the treadmill since the weather is crappy. I just have to keep it up!
Anyway, I know this is a long post, but it's just my way of de-stressing. It's Friday and I'm going to enjoy the rest of my weekend!
