No Spend November - Day #1

 
Day #1

JW and I have been doing No Spend November since our first year of marriage and each year it gets...nope won't lie, it's hard.

What we can spend money one -

1. Bills

2. Groceries

3. Gas

 

That's it. Say goodbye to your random "I like that shirt, I think I'll buy it", and your let's go out to eat tonight, and Starbucks. Wave goodbye to all of it - for 30 days. YOU CAN DO IT!

 

Our first few years of No Spend November were to help us wrap up our Christmas Gift Savings for our 5,000 person family but this year it is for some extra dough in NYC!

 

We are going to NYC for New Years and we are completely and utterly, out of our minds stoked. We are skipping the gifts this year and saying we love you, but we're going to NYC Baby! (P.S. our family is excited we are going on a vacation they understand the trivia of getting from KC to Dallas, TX, Dallas, TX to Longview, Texas, Longview, TX to Jackson, MS, Jackson, MS, to ElDorado, AR, ElDorado, AR, to Harrison, AR, Harrison, AR, back to KC.) Imagine the movie Four Christmas' on crack and that is JW and My Christmas vacation - except our family isn't crazy, they just are all scattered.

 

Anywho - back to No Spend November. Today is day one, Friday, and tonight we are going to stay home, grill some dinner, watch a movie (we already own) and drink coffee by the fire pit. One thing is for sure, No Spend November helps you enjoy the simple things in life.

 

Enjoy! Will you take the No Spend November Challenge??

 

Bye Y'all!

A Blast From The Past - Halloween Costumes

Happy Late Halloween!!

What a fun day it was! JW and I got to hand out candy to kiddos dressed as princesses, ninja turtles, minions, and more for the very first time. It was so fun! We couldn't just hand out candy in our boring ole work clothes so we dug through the old boxes in the basement and pulled out JW's Football jersey and my high school (YES high school!) cheer uniform! I could not believe it fit better last night then it did in high school. Have I told you how much I just LOVE Stimulock?! Any diet that will show me results daily AND allow me to fit in my high school uniform is A OK with me! Check out our fun photos below! Hope you had a great night! What did you dress up as?

 

 

Bye Y'all!

 

Happy Friday!

 

Happy Home Owners

It's true.

You don't quite feel like a true grown up until you sign 1 million papers and become a Home Owner.

All the rumors of how stressful it is however, can be put to bed. It was SUCH a fun process for me. We went house "shopping" one Saturday, fell in love with the next to last house, put in our offer, offer was accepted the next day, 45 days later we signed papers and moved in! I was not stressed once. It's a miracle - because I am the QUEEN at being stressed for no reason. JW however - Mr. Laid Back was on the wire the entire process. Bless his heart, he made it through and we couldn't be happier. Photos of the "super cute" (if I do say so myself) decor coming soon. For now - enjoy this photo of us right before we signed our papers!

Bye Y'all.

The New "Us"

My Husband JW and I just went through an incredible health transformation with the help of Stimulock. If you have weight to lose, 1lb to 200lbs Stimulock can help you reach your goal AND help you transform into a healthier you. Stimulock is a lot like HCG, but no hormones, and is homeopathic so it is healthier! A WIN - WIN. Check out some before and after photos of us below -

JW Began At - 280 LBS - Size 40 jeans and XXL Shirts
I began At - 189 - Size 16/14 Jeans - XL Shirts

Today -
JW - 215 - Size 34 Jeans - L Shirts
Me - 147 - Size 8 Jeans - M/L Shirts

JW has locked in his new weight and is maintaining it like a champ. I took a month off because of travel and I maintained my weight during my "break". I started back full throttle this past Monday and I have lost 4lbs already this week! I feel great! excited to be at my goal weight of 130 and a size 6 soon! I am going to ring in the new year as a new ME!
