Stuart and I have really been trying to "trim the fat" this last month. As you know, I joined the gym last month which was a huge success. However, the battle has really been waking up at 5:30 a.m. Monday-Thursday to get in our cardio before we start the day. It's been a total lifestyle change for us. We go to bed earlier, wake up earlier and even take vitamins!
I found a running plan on my friend's blog a couple months ago and we've been using it as our guide. And although, we haven't had perfect gym attendance this week, I do think we are making huge strides towards our fitness goals. We have jokingly been calling ourselves "gym rats" now that we have joined the early riser crew at the gym.
We also have been trying to "trim the fat" with our finances. It is so easy to spend away your money without even realizing where you're spending it. We are big fans of the Dave Ramsey plan and we have been trying to follow his steps to reach our financial goals. We've been slashing areas of our budget including everything from our cable bill to our grocery bill. It's been challenging but is already proving to be rewarding.

Yesterday, we received the greatest news. After 3 1/2 months of waiting, we finally found someone who wanted to buy Stuart's car. We had really been praying for this over the past six weeks and it could not have happened at a better time. It was after the holidays, which allowed us to get through paying for all the Christmas presents and traveling. We had just the right amount of money saved up to sell the car and pay off the remaining. Stuart and I cannot WAIT to call up Dave Ramsey and scream "WE'RE DEBT FREE!" Don't worry. We are already practicing. Goodbye, Armada (A.K.A. "The War Wagon")....Financial Freedom, here we come!
