quick updates

okay so this blog starting thing is harder than i thought...

coupon world:

so last week i def scored big time @ cvs. i used my $10ECBs (essentially, gift card) towards the purchase of $35 worth of items... BUT i paid $6 oop and received $16 back in ECBs. YES! summary: paid ZERO (10+6 = 16, got 16 back) and received $35 worth of items! 1 of my fav purchases was a glade sense n spray (so needed) that was $10 but was on sale for $5 and i had a $4 coupon... = $1!! so cool! i've yet to venture out to other stores (kroger, meijer, etc) - SO wish that we had a publix here!! agh! jealous of my southeast pals.

p90x:

amazing! so glad i shelled out the $ to do this program... even though the JT wasn't too keen on it. ive lost some lbs so far and inches and im onto my 4th wk of the program. 1/3 done - ya-tah! next week starts phase 2. im praying for continued strength & discipline to keep up with it... they're def strenuous workouts but the hardest part is finding time for them!! its minimum 1hr day - typically 1hr15min+. my fav workout is kenpo (karate-ish) and i DETEST yoga - blarf. the JT has yet to join in on the p90x fun but maybe he will after he (hopefully) sees some of my (potential) results.

90day bible:

pressing on. finished the psalms in 3 days -tragic to read through them so fast! on day 47.

...in other random news...

was pretty much out of commission the past week due to unknown (not swine) illness. super swamped with work-related stuff for dr. scott this week.

SO excited to carve pumpy-kins tom with the JT! pics will come. it's like my fav thing to do. AND THEN... POST-HALLOWEEN = XMAS MUSIC TIME!!! woohoo! love this time of year. this will be the first trick-or-treating season that the JT and i are in a grown-up house... we intend to dress up and do some candy-passing-out-ing and meet some neighbors and kids.

oh and i am trying to convince the JT to get a snuggie for little texas. don't you think he needs one?

time to watch *unwrapped* on food network... halloween edition - score!
