Fab in Feb :)

Yes, I'm doing it again. 

Another challenge.

I know I have started these before and never finished, 

but this time is GOING to be different. 

I'm going to join Julie's 28 Day Challenge for February. 

It's not thirty days, but simply 28 days; just a mere 4 weeks. 

Yesterday, I walked. 

So far today, I have walked 3 miles, 

but Zumba is on the agenda. 

It is my goal and promise to myself to do some form of exercise each and every day for this short, sweet month of February. 

After all, I want to look more fit in the 

Bahamas in April than I do right now :) 

Want to join me? 

Make a post on your blog,

your pledge to join the challenge,

and leave me a comment so that I can visit your post.

We can motivate each other.

Come on now, get moving :)

Visual Motivators :)

I'm a big time shopper! BUT, I've committed to myself and my husband that I'm not buying anymore clothes, other than anything extremely necessary or workout clothes, until I lose some weight. So I was online the other day looking at things I cannot buy (why? I have no idea!) and ran across these things..visual motivators for myself :)

I found this LOVELY bathing suit. 

I've always wanted a bathing suit from Victoria Secret, 

but just couldn't make myself pay what was on the 

price tag of most of them. 

However, I think that I will deserve and can splurge on a new bathing suit or two when I'm "beach body ready!"

I'm a dress fanatic!! I love cute, adorable dresses!! 

I would never be comfortable in this dress right now. 

Thanks so my father, I'm blessed (or cursed) 

with a big rear end HAHA. 

So, this is on my "TO GET" list when I lose the weight!!! :) Can't wait! 

So now, I can't wait to hear: Do you have any visual motivators?! I would love to hear about them! :)

New Sandwich Delight

I'm into couponing and healthy eating. On my shopping trip to Publix this weekend, I got a great deal on Arnold Sandwich Thins, so I picked up a few packs. 

They are a great alternative to regular bread for a sandwhich, with few calories and carbs. I ate my first sandwich on this bread today..and can I please just say YUM?!?! It was so delicious! This is my new favorite sandwich bread and I strongly suggest you try it, especially if you are trying to eat healthier. Have you tried it? If so, what did you think? 

I would love to hear what some of your favorite foods are!

New Page..Visit It

Hey Bloggers! I've added a new page to my blog, Frugal Wife, Fabulous Life. I started clipping coupons a couple months ago and was very interested in keeping up with my overall savings. So I created a page on my blog to help assist me with keeping up with my savings, and I've also added a few links to blogs that I have found helpful while learning this task. I hope you enjoy. Click the picture below to go straight to the page. Otherwise, there is a link at the top of my page in the tabs section. ENJOY! Let me know what you think. :)

Link UP with ME! :)

1. What movie could you watch over and over again and not get tired of?

Honestly, there is not a particular movie, but I have to say anything with Gerard Butler, such as Law Abiding Citizen (great movie)

2. What's your biggest pet peeve right now?

At this exact moment, I would have to say “pretending.” What I mean by that is when you trash talk people like you hate their guts, but on Facebook or when you see them, you “pretend” to be there best friend and hang out with them. That’s just something I can’t stand. I understand being civil when you see or talk to someone. If you want to be friends, fine. But if not, don’t “pretend” only to run them down later.

3. If you had to describe your best friend in five words or less, what would you say?

MOST AMAZING PERSON I KNOW (a.k.a. My Husband)

4. If you did not have to worry about money or go to school what would you do for a living?

A PROFESSIONAL SHOPPER!  haha well, maybe. But I can honestly say that my chosen profession has nothing to do with money, but something I love. I love teaching and therefore, I would continue with the path I’m on

5. What is your one "splurge" item, that you will always buy, no matter the cost?

Choices, choices: shoes, clothes, purses, accessories!   Well, if I must narrow it down, I’ll say purses!

Hey Bloggers! Have you missed me? Sorry I'm have not be posting much the past few months.

So now guess what, I'M OFFICIALLY A GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE!! WHOOPWHOOP! As a result, I'm on the job search in my area, which is not looking promising, but I'm doing everything in my power to get out there and meet people to further my career. In the meantime, while not working and staying at home, I have more time for..yep, you guessed it..BLOGGING! :) YAY! Today I will be catching up, reading blogs that you have posted, and making LOTS of posts :) So bare with me, I'm getting back in the swing of things.
