Fort Wayne’s Smallest Winner Has Officially Begun!
31 Mar posted by
I apologize for the lack of posts yesterday. We had our first workout for Fort Wayne’s Smallest Winner yesterday morning at 6 am and by the time I got home from work, ran a few errands, took my daughters to softball practice, did some grocery shopping, and picked my daughters up from softball, I was too exhausted to do more than one post! Hopefully, my body will soon adapt to the early mornings and my arms won’t feel like they’re about to fall off! (It really makes it hard to type when your arms feel like they weigh a million pounds!)
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers!

Not familiar with Groupon? Here’s the 411…straight from the horse’s mouth!
What is Groupon?
Each day, Groupon features an unbeatable deal on the best stuff to do, see, eat, and buy in your city. By promising businesses a minimum number of customers, we get discounts you won’t find anywhere else. We call it “collective buying power!”
I like today’s deal – how do I get it?
Just click “BUY” before the offer ends at midnight. If the minimum number of people sign up, we’ll charge your card and send you a link to print your Groupon. If not enough people join, no one gets it (and you won’t be charged), so invite your friends to make sure you get the deal!
What happens if the Groupon doesn’t reach its required minimum number of purchasers?
If not enough people sign up, then the deal is canceled, and you won’t be charged. Better luck next time! So if you really want the Groupon, be sure to either beg or threaten your friends .
Do I need to use my Groupon the same day I buy it?
No. Many Groupons have an expiration date, but you never have to use them on the date of purchase.
I bought a Groupon – how do I use it?
Once you’re charged, you’ll receive an email with a link to sign in and print your Groupon. The Groupon has redemption instructions and a map right on it!
Can I buy a Groupon as a gift for someone else?
Yes. We communicate with all the businesses that we work with that Groupons can be gifted, and unless the Fine Print specifically states otherwise, gift away! To have us send them the gift, select the gift option at checkout.

Losing It- Week 5
28 Mar posted by
So this post is a little late since I wasn’t feeling well the past few days! The good news is I’m down 5 pounds! I’m so excited to finally have a big loss! I’ve been better with my eating this week (although still not great), but I think the things that has made the biggest difference is consistent exercise over the course of a few weeks. I think my muscles have finally adapted and I’m not feeling nearly as sore. I’m still horribly out of shape, but I’m working on it!
The really good news is that today is the official first day of the Fort Wayne’s Smallest Winner competition. At some point this afternoon, I will put on my weigh-in attire of shorts and a sports bra (thankfully we can wear one of those long, tank top style sports bras) and get on the scale for my first weigh in. I’m totally excited, but also nervous. I’m looking forward to the accountability, the new friendships, the extra motivation, the education…and of course, the competition. There’s nothing like a little competition to help motivate! Over the next 3 months I will be sharing my thoughts, feeling, and experiences with this competition. I know it’s not what Simplified Saving is usually about (and there will still be plenty of deals, tips, and tricks on here), but for me, I need the extra accountability. Feel free to skip through these updates if they bore you! 
And if you have suggestions, tips, or encouragement, I’d love to hear from you!
And speaking of encouragement, make sure you visit Giving Up On Perfect to encourage Mary and the rest of the girls who are Losing It!
Lots of Sweepstakes to Enter

I have a confession…I love sweepstakes. I dream of the day when Publishers Clearinghouse delivers the big check to my door…or I’d love to win the HGTV dreamhouse one of these years.
Here are some sweepstakes you can enter this week if you’re looking for something to do in your spare time! I highly recommend a separate email account for entering contests and sweepstakes. That way you don’t end up with lots of junkmail in your personal email box!

I know there are some of you out there who have already filed your taxes and received your refund, but most people tend to wait until the filling deadline. With April 15th quickly approaching, I thought you might want to take a look at Tax Act. I’ve never used this before, but I figured it’s definitely worth looking into! They offer free preparation, free e-filing, and free printing!
