I am still on cloud nine that I pushed through and met my first baby goal of hitting 179 before the beach. To treat myself I splurged in a not so splurgy way and got a spray tan that I mentioned a few weeks ago. Many of you said to go for it, and then a friend emailed to say that we have a cosmetology school in town that does them for $10! I’m all for saving money and that includes signing up to be anyones guinea pig.
For $10 it was a steal! I look and feel great, though currently I’m so tan that I look like my family adopted me (my 11 year old agrees). So for anyone else on the fence I would say go for it this one time. I’m not going to make a habit of it, I just wanted to feel even better about myself in a swimsuit rather than after all my efforts these past few months feeling more discouraged. It’s the discouraging moments for me that lead to pity parties which lead to snacks which leads to ice cream… it’s a tricky slope once you start to slide.
If you are considering a spray tan and are in my area I encourage you to check out South Eastern Esthetics Institute. They do a lot more than tans so it could be your way of getting a super cheap eye brow waxing or even a facial. If you aren’t in Columbia then google and see if you have a school in your area that does something similar.
A few spray tan tips (now that I’m an expert):
• Paint you finger nails and toenails first
• Shower and scrub everywhere with a loofa really hard first. It makes it last a few extra days.
• Wear loose dark clothing in case you get any on it on the way home it won’t stain.
• Put your hair up before you go and wear a cloth headband right near your roots.
• Don’t make plans right after, you can’t shower for 8 hours after it. It gradually gets darker as the day goes on.
• Still wear sunscreen! You have only dyed your skin, not gotten all new genes that don’t burn.
Now that I’ve hit goal #1 it’s onto the next goal which was really my first big goal; get down 170. This doesn’t seem that hard, but I’ve always struggled with not finishing on diets. I’m trying to set new week goals of running more and continuing to track to help me stay on track. The girls and I are also signing up for a race in 4 weeks that we hope to run all of!
Progress this week:
Starting Weight (11 weeks ago): 202
Last Week: 180.8
Current Weight: 179.1
Goal Weight: 170
In case you are wondering 170 has always just been my first big goal. When (not if) I get there the next goal is 155. I don’t think I’ve weighed that since jr. high so it seems very unattainable, but it is the magic number that says I’m in a healthy weight range. So we will go with short little goals to get there and see what 155 looks like 20+ years later!

A few weeks ago I spent an evening walking through Sam’s being a spy. I was on a hunt for things that were horrible buys and to get an idea of what would be a good deal. I’m going to share the bad news first, here’s what you shouldn’t buy in Sam’s (or I’m going to be bold here and say any warehouse club). Don’t fret, tomorrow I’ll share a list of deals that are amazing at Sam’s.
10 Things NOT to Buy at Sam’s
1. Dog Treats & Dog Food
Rather than going big for your pets, the deals are much cheaper in grocery stores and Target with sales and coupons. One example:
Sam’s – Dentastix Treats, 62 ct., $19.94
Publix – Dentastix Treats, 6 ct., $1
Target – Dentastix Treats, 32 ct., $9.32
To compare the same size, grab 10 of the Publix packages for $10. You save $9.94 off the Sam’s price to buy it somewhere else.
2. Soda Bottles & 2 Liters
I would never pay more than $1 for a 2 liter soda, and I’m definitely going to pay to join a club just to pay $1.32 a bottle. Wait for sales at the grocery store and even without coupons you’ve got their price beat.
Sam’s – Coca Cola 2 Liter, 4 pk., $5.28
Most Stores – Coca Cola 2 L, $1
Other size bottles are also over priced. We can normally find the 6 pack, 16.9 oz bottles, on sale for $2-$2.50 each in the grocery store. At Sam’s they are basically $3.12 a pack.
3. Paper Plates
This is one item that even Fred’s beats the warehouse price. Comparing name brand plates (Dixie) you can get them for 4¢ a plate at various stores on sale or 8¢ a plate at Sam’s. That’s double the price!
There is a new Sargento coupon to print to help you save on cheese slices! You can use this with an upcoming Publix sale to get the cheese for $1.95.
This cheese could be great to have on hand at those Memorial Day cookouts. This deal starts 5/24 or 5/25 but go ahead and print your coupons.
