Back on the bandwagon

I've got to do something, so I'm back to counting points. I thought I could do it without, but I didn't lose anymore. I would gain/lose 2 pounds constantly. So I need to stay on track. I can do this! It helps that I'm walking 2 miles every night. Power walking. In the humidity that is Spring in SC. Plus I've been working in the yard a lot, so it all adds up, baby! This week I'll start Zumba on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I *may* even start going to WW meetings. Maybe I'll go to one and see what it's like. If I don't get anything out of it I can't do online, then it would be pretty pointless. That would make me busier than Wyatt! Meetings on Monday, Zumba Tuesdays, Church Wednesdays, Zumba Thursdays, and T ball Fridays. Phew! I'm tired ;)At least it's summer so there are no Wed night bible studies...That sounds so wrong. But we need some family time! At least I do get off work early Wed and Fri, so there's time then. I definitely want to get an eliptical, or maybe a treadmill. Maybe we can start pricing them. I shall watch for them to go on sale!

I've decided next time we're out of laundry detergent, I'm not going to buy it. I'm going to make it myself. We really need to beef up our savings, so it's time to cut corners anywhere we can. I need to get a clothes line too, because despite the fact that my washer and dryer are both high efficiency machines, I'm sure line drying is cheaper! And it's not like we can't practically do it year round here.

I watched Extreme Couponing last night. It seemed like a lot of what they were doing was stockpiling, which is a bit more than I want to do right now, but I can certainly do some of that! I plan to subscribe to 2 of the Sunday papers today. Maybe even see if I can subscribe to the Sunday Washington Post too...I wonder if they have different coupons? I will have to call one of my friends in MD today to see. I also want to look online for couponing sites. So look for a blog with those links. The really good links I will post to my list of frequently traveled places on the web.
