Try Something New Tuesday: Hip Hop Abs

Thanks to my SIL, we are borrowing Hip Hop Abs with Shawn T (Insanity). Its pretty fun and ranges from 30-40 min! Good work out! Check it out!

Try Something NEW Tuesday... video games.

So, lets just say I am not a "gamer" by any means.


Now, before you go thinking it was a bad experience, it wasnt. It was a fun 1/2 hour with the hubs, once I figured out what I was doing. Keep in mind I havent played a true video game since Nintendo days, ya know the little grey box! :) We have a Wii, XBox360, but I never have had an interest in them. I do like Wii sports, but that IMO is different. :) I will probably start playing Donkey Kong with the hubs once a week, I think he'd like that :)

So --- try something new, you might just have a good time!

Try Something New Tuesday (a day late!)

Slacker Radio.

How I love you. I just downloaded the app for Slacker Radio on my Evo Droid last night, and its amazing. I had previously been using Pandora but kept getting the SAME songs recently. Lets face it, I can only take "G6" so many times in one day. :)

So, if you havent downloaded this app yet, do yourself a favor and go ahead and download it, plus its FREE! :) If you have blue tooth (depending on your car/phone) you can stream it through your speakers when in the car. In my Touareg, I dont but I have an FM transmitter I can with - its great. Jons car has bluetooth so it makes it nice and easy!

Well happy Wednesday! :)

Try Something New Tuesday: Heated Blanket!

I've been wanting to get a Heated Blanket for a while. Well I broke down and got one the other day, and HEAVEN. As I am blogging, its freeeeezing outside, I am enjoying being nice and warm and cozy!

If you do not have one already - BUY ONE!

Happy Tuesday!

Try Something New Tuesday!

Okay, I am pumped about this (my first!) Try Something New Tuesday Post!

Jon and I decided to give E-Mealz a try.

Let's just say, so far so good. As some may know, Jon and I did Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University in 2009. It was great for us, just what we needed to put our money where it NEEDED to be. To date, we have paid off over $30k in debt, finished our basement (IN CASH) and paid for two vacations in 2010 (we sacrificed and did not vacation in 2009).

Anyways, Jon found E-Meals through Dave Ramsay a week or so ago, he mentioned it and we thought about it, and Sunday we took the plunge. I was REALLY hoping it would be cool (so I could blog about it here -duh!!) and thankfully I am very happy.

So, here is how it works. For $1.25 a week ($15 billed every 3 months) I get a meal plan, which I can choose Low Fat, Points Plan, Low carb and so on. You can also pick how many people, since its just two of us, we obviously picked 2 people plan, low fat Wal-Mart plan! They say you should expect to spend $35-$45 a week at the store. This week, my meal purchases were only around $14, because we had many items on hand (ground beef, chicken, corn and so forth)however the projected expense was $40 and change.

Last night I made a Cheeseburger Soup - it was pretty good. We had another serving so I had it for lunch today. Tonight was a Mexican Pasta. We will also have an entire serving for each of our lunches tomorrow! Holler!

Anyways, for us trying something new - is proving to be a good thing. I would spend way to much time cruising websites looking for meals, making a grocery list and so on. This is well worth it, and the grocery list is so helpful (to me!) Everyone always talks about how meal planning is the way to save money, well I think this may hit the Jack Pot in the Sally Domestic household.

Check it out - see if its right for you, and your family!

Reso...whaaa!?

Ok, bouncing back to yesterdays post...

Did you meet your resolutions for 2010?

I did, not as greatly as I wanted but I did it. :) What was my goal? To loose weight. If you dont recall, I looked like this (Ick!)week one of starting FAST.

Here I am today (eeer ok Dec 3rd! -- our last day in Mexico!)


I got to thinking about things I want to incorporate into the new year, one being...

Try something new Tuesday.

What's that? Well I was thinking, a new recipe, new workout, new product, a new method of cleaning or crafty project of some sort. Of course I might even surprise you all with something new!

In the spirit of Tuesday, I am going to try something new... recipe wise. I have some rice I need to make up, I am thawing chicken, and have some cheese. So a cheesy rice casserole it is tonight. :)

So, what are your resolutions, and why do you want to accomplish them? I am a firm believer you need to have a reason behind a resolution. We can ALL say, exercise more, so I am healthier. Well... how about, exercise more so I can run a 5k for example. Put a little more behind your resolutions so they stick. :)
