Persistence is Paying Off

It's 9:30 and the end of a very busy day. Work today was spent scurrying around getting ready for an event later this week. It was after 4 pm before I even LOOKED at the clock. Realizing we had no food in our house except for some random cans of beans and cereal, I threw together a meal plan and a grocery list and went home.

My husband and I generally grocery shop together. We realize this probably won't always be the case, but for now we enjoy it and it turns into quality time for us. Usually in this situation, I would pick up the fella and we'd head to the store. However tonight, we took time to meal plan for the WHOLE MONTH together and budgeted around our pay days. We focused on making meals stretch for a few leftover dinners. We plotted our our journey tonight to include a discount market AND Wal-Mart. We even remembered to grab recyclable bags on our way out the door. In an effort to save money, we're definitely on the right track.

Our travels tonight served as a great opportunity to chat about our debt payoff and some strategies that we've started using in our lives that we could talk about in this blog. There WILL be some cool little debt tips comin' round the bend, friends! Get excited!

The thing I'm REALLY getting excited about is a new challenge group my sisters and I are hosting for the month of October! Our theme is HOCUS POCUS! Three Sanderson sisters in the movie, three Peterson sisters in real life-- get it?!

The Sanderson sisters sucked the life out of children-- WE will be sucking the life out of terrible eating habits, negative self-talk and lack of exercise!

We're equating the MAGIC POTION to Shakeology. I know-- it's not REALLY magic. But friends, this stuff WORKS and it has made me healthier and stronger. It WILL make a huge positive difference in your life.

Lastly, you'll need a SPELL BOOK! Beachbody's "spell books" are the workouts and there are LOTS to choose from! The best thing is this challenge group is 31 days long!

This will get you pumped and prepped for the holiday season and give you a good idea of what Beachbody is all about. You do NOT want to miss this!! Make sure you contact me if you're interested!

Finally-- an update on my Pants Project. I wore those wretched pants today and I had to keep adjusting them to fit. Definitely making progress! Persistence, healthy eating and BEACHBODY are all paying off!
