October Challenge- Tighter Belts and Even Tighter Wallets

I have let myself gain back ten pounds this summer and still haven’t worked on losing them. I have also spent too much money this summer on frivolous things and recently on eating fast food and junk food. I want to have a smaller waist and more money in my checking account by the end of October. That is why I named the challenge what I named it. Here are some of the details…

Goals

• Lose two pounds a week.
• Follow my eating plan wholeheartedly.
• Walk at least 8,000 steps every day as part of the fall walking challenge at work.
• Eat fast food/eat out only on weekends (to save money and eat healthier).
• Eat on plan meals at events and have a standard size amount of one dessert (one wedding, one birthday party, and one Halloween party).
• Finish C25K- I have two 30 minute jogs left. If I can’t do 30 minutes at once, then work on building my endurance back up and complete these two jogs.
• Hook up my xBox 360 in my office, so I can do my workout video games on it.
• Don’t buy frivolous things this month and spend less time shopping on weekends scouting for good deals.
• Focus on fitting into clothes I already have and not buy new clearance rack clothes to get by at the weight I am at the beginning of the month.
• Blog more often and post weekly updates on this challenge.
