We have been taking long walks as a family at that's been great for me mentally and physically.
I had posted that I was going to stop shopping and just buying anything and everything in my path. I had declared a 10 week no buy, I know I will get lots of amazing things at Christmas! However, I have failed we have 8 weeks and a few days until Christmas is here. I haven't spent a lot of money but I have bought more makeup and beauty things than I actually needed to.
I did recently buy some new workout gear from Under Armour and I bought this little beauty to spice up my daily routine. I have not worked out as much as I wanted but I have been doing better. 2 weeks ago I was set on not weighing myself, but yesterday I weighed myself and started a chart.
I bought these 2 capri's from Under Armour because I hate being hot, even in the Fall when working out I just don't want to be hot. Plus I can use these as a base layer if I need too and put my UA Storm pants on top hehe.
(FYI That is not me in the photo or this post would be totally pointless because I would be smoking hot and yelling it from my rooftop)
I have also started or am trying to start living more frugal and more on a set budget. After reading lots of articles online I kept seeing this pop up, over and over.
Use a 30-day list. To curb impulse buys, create a 30-day list. When you want to buy something, other than a true necessity (medicine or food, for example), put it on this list, with the date you added it to the list. And make it a rule that you can’t buy anything for at least 30 days after you put it on the list. And stick to it. You’ll find that you buy a lot less with this system.
I think it will help me, because on any given day depending on how much time I spend on pinterest I find myself saying "I NEED" a lot more. In reality there isn't much that I truly need, versus I want to be like all the pretty girls, rich girls, fit girls I just want to BE, and I get caught up in the cycle. I truly am going to start a list and and just be better with my money that we work so hard for. I want to have quality over volume, and the list will help me decide with those purchases.
I need some new workout songs to put on my phone so let me know what you are rocking out too!
I am also considering doing Grocery Hauls, would you prefer me to do that over on my Vegan Blog or are you interested in my healthy living journey.
This weekend I bought a bunch of tea and got some great deals at Earthfare. I hope you enjoy these types of post! Let me know what journey are you on?
