It’s Friday and time for another installment of Fit Finances. Boy, what a week! I am so glad it’s the weekend. Along with fitness, many of us have New Year’s Resolutions to get our finances in order. That was my New Year’s Resolution last year. As some of you know, I moved back to Colorado [...]


01/10/11--12:21: Free Music Monday…and my crazy Saturday binge (chan 1578172)

I hope everybody had a fabulous weekend! I didn’t get up to the mountains this weekend because I had a million things to get done at the house, including a massive overhaul of my closets and drawers, plus work meetings all day Sunday. Saturday was my first “eat anything you want day” in my new [...]


01/11/11--12:04: Free Sample of Crest 3D White Strips from Walmart! (chan 1578172)

My teeth are very important to be and of course oral care is important to your overall health. I also am a big fan of white teeth. Call me crazy but yellow, stained teeth or not a turn on in any sense of the word. We are lucky because it no longer costs thousands of [...]

11/10/11--08:05: The Pikes Peak Marathon…Our Run to the Sky (chan 1578172)

Krista and Kathy recently relaunched our blog, FitAndThrifty.com, and we both agreed that the perfect blog to encompass our relaunch together is our experience running the Pikes Peak Marathon, “America’s Ultimate Challenge.” Let me begin by saying it was all Kathy’s idea. Kathy has run the Pikes Peak Accent twice, and she wanted this year [...]

11/14/11--12:56: Coconut Water – the superior hydration? (chan 1578172)

You may have noticed that coconut water has very rapidly begun to show up on the shelves of most supermarkets and health food stores.  It has quickly become a very popular new health drink, claiming to be a superior source of hydration.  However, it comes with a large price tag (often as much as $2-$3/17oz).  [...]


11/16/11--14:43: How to be Fit and Thrifty at Starbucks + BOGO Deal! (chan 1578172)

It’s usually hard to fit the words “fit” and “thrifty” into any sentence involving drinking Starbucks coffee. Why? Because Starbucks is usually fattening and expensive. Sad but true, folks. I used to drink Starbucks all the time until the one day when I got the great idea to build a quick spreadsheet to see how [...]


11/18/11--10:01: Staying Motivated Over the Holidays (chan 1578172)

  The holidays are almost here!  I so look forward to the time spent with family and friends over Thanksgiving and Christmas.  For most people (myself included!), the holidays center around enjoying a large amount of food and drink with loved ones.  Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, etc etc… not to mention the extra [...]

11/28/11--13:32: Throwing a Holiday Party on a Budget (chan 1578172)

In about 2 weeks, I will be hosting my annual Ugly Christmas Sweater Party.  This year, more so than in other years, I am on a tight budget.  However, this is not going to prevent me from throwing my party.  This means that I’m going to have to come up with some thrifty ideas to save [...]


12/02/11--12:19: Wedding Planning – Part 1 (chan 1578172)

The wedding bells are ringing!  As you will all learn, I am getting married in July 2012.  This is very exciting, but also kind of scary!  And I’m not refering to the fact that I’m agreeing to spend the rest of my life with the same man.  Weddings are expensive!  I had always heard from [...]


12/08/11--06:59: How I Got An Almost Free iPhone 4S Without Stealing It (chan 1578172)

People who really know me can attest to the fact that I like to hang onto my electronics for a long time. I am just now retiring a MacBook after four years, since the speakers went kerplunk and because Apple told me the hard drive is 95% failed. I would also probably still have my [...]


12/09/11--11:58: Fit Finance Friday: How to Become Debt Free in 2012 (chan 1578172)

If you’re anything like me, you’re already taking stock of your 2011 and starting to think about high-level goals in 2012. For many of us, becoming debt free or at least more financially stable is always a goal. We at FitAndThrifty think being financially “fit” is just as important as any other aspect of a “healthy” lifestyle. [...]

I know that today’s post from me doesn’t have much to do with being fit or thrifty.  This is just a really cool list of life lessons that I came across a few years ago, and I wanted to share it with you.  I read it every once and a while and always find at [...]

How many of you started New Year’s Resolutions? Who feels like you’ve wasted January in recovery mode from the holidays and are now considering giving up? Join the club. That is why today, on February 1st, I am encouraging us to start our New Year in February. Think about it. January should be the time [...]


02/03/12--15:39: Let’s Explore New Sports in 2012! (chan 1578172)

We are having a SNOW DAY in Colorado, which for me, sadly, no longer means sledding, no school, and hot chocolate. Instead, it means working from home (with Jon, which is interesting, to say the least), throwing everything I have in the fridge into a crock-pot, and still being in my pajamas on the couch [...]
