Taking time to refocus...life and money

Posted 08-31-2011 at 11:27 AM by mommy4ever (Travelling on the frugal path to Freedom)

We fell off track a little, but we have a plan.

We do have 2 debts to pay off. That said we do have savings and have maintained savings for the last 2 years. We do dip in on occasion but it's great.

We did lots of renovations, more than we thought we'd have to do some just weren't optional... windows, roof repairs(ughhh).

So we'll be tackling those really hard, all while continueing to build savings I know, DR would say debt first. But we have to find...

The love Affair continues....

With my Vitamix that is!

Today, after deliberating for a week, I picked up the dry blade with container. This container is able to do marvels as well, but different ones.

Tonight I ground some organic hard red wheat into flour. Time involved.... 60 seconds. And I had 3 cups of flour at my disposal.

SO.... I made organic whole grain banana muffins! They smell divine.

I blended the eggs, applesauce, buttermilk and bananas in the vitamix wet container....

I must be getting OLD!

Posted 09-27-2009 at 02:53 PM by mommy4ever (Travelling on the frugal path to Freedom)

As I have posted I started Karate 2 weeks ago. I Love it! The first Monday I was so sore after, but by Thursday it was a dull ache, and Thursday work out didn't make it worse.

SO last Monday I go back. My stomach muscles were really sore, leg raises were next to impossible, we'd done 100 the week before, and I hadn't noticed that they were sore... but I wasn't using them that way.

So we move to sit ups. That was SO hard. I was barely able to do it. Well, on the last one......

Re-Thinking...

We had plans for me to go to University. With the pending move, that will be post poned a year or two.

But at the same time, I'm looking around and thinking ....uh-oh. My younger girls school is laying off. That doesn't bode well for the teaching profession. Do we want to invest 4 years tuition plus the childcare costs, to find out I won't get a job?

Also, I took a personal day a couple weeks ago, I wasn't feeling 100%. And I SO enjoyed doing my own thing. SO much got...

I survived!

Tuesday, I was very sore from the Karate workout.

However Wednesday was excruciating!!!

So what did I do?? I went back tonight. I will give the sensei credit, he totally focused on a different area. He worked all sections of the body, but the main focus was another muscle group. Although my whole body is still sore from the first workout.

We did some very hard things. My upper body strength SUCKS. So I really need to do some work on that. But overall I can...
