Welcome November




We have made it to November welcome to level

lord knows what of Jumanji...lol….


This month is going to be a bit different than most normal

months because it’s the month of Thanksgiving. This particular

post won’t be tagged on a page. First let me start by saying

thank you to everyone that follows the blog, tries stuff that

I blog about and take time to comment or like blog posts.


October had a rocky start for me but I got through it and even

did something I’ve never done before; I did my first 5k. I would

love to start doing one every month and maybe (body willing)

do a 10k sometime!


This month there will only be blog posts from the 2nd through the

15th, I am taking the rest of the month off to do family things for Thanksgiving.


How will I be doing blog posts this month? Well the first week

is going to be dedicated to low carb recipes (I had a request)

the second week will have 2 recipes a day all geared towards

Thanksgiving day ideas for your meal if you want to change

it up a bit. Both weeks will still have savings posts. Instead of

a quote of the day you will see a nature picture from me and

something that I am thankful for. Feel free on that blog

post to comment that day something you are thankful for. 


The first week I will have DIY posts but the second week

there will not be any. There won’t be any workout posts or

health tips posts either week. I already have some ideas for

December but we are now just in November so you will just

have to wait and see how December pans out. I hope

everyone has a great month and a happy Thanksgiving.

Tapout MMA Boxing Combo Kit

We went to Kmart tonight to get our layaway out, which included some boxing gloves but we forgot to put the pads in layaway. As we were trying to decide on the pads, we found an awesome deal! We got the Tapout MMA Boxing Combo Kit .   Our Kmart had it marked down to $19.00 from $39.00! Right now I also found them at Kmart.com for $26.00 which would save you 31% (but if I were you, I would check your local Kmart first). Happy Boxing!
