You're Gonna Lose That Weight: Easy Zucchini and Breakfast Cookie

Day two of my October Challenge (Tighter Belts and Even Tighter Wallet) has gone pretty well. I've stayed on plan all day today and am close to 8,000 steps (should make it there before the end of the day). I still feel kinda icky and don't know if it is lingering effects of the thing I had last week or if my allergies are just that bad.

There really isn't much special to share about today- just a typical work day. I stopped by Strack's after work to get some rice crispy treats for a class that earned a reward that they will get tomorrow. While in Strack's I bought some laundry detergent on sale, a bottle of water, the rice crispy treats, and some strawberry preserves. Everything I got was on sale and will be needed, so I don't count that as frivolous spending. I really only needed the rice crispy treats though. It is funny how I always go in there for one or two things and walk out with more.

The plan for tonight is to make sure I get those 8,000 steps, watch The Voice, play some Song Pop, get the trash out to the cans so it is easier for trash day tomorrow morning, do some laundry, and work on my fall music program a little bit. I know it sounds so exciting and glamorous!

I did do one thing slightly interesting this afternoon and that is cook some zucchini in the convection oven. I just sliced it up, put a little salt and pepper on it, and threw them in for ten minutes. Easy and tasty! Just don't put too much salt and pepper on them like I did...

One of the blogs I follow, The Lean Green Bean, is having a photo challenge for October (the link takes to the page with the challenge). I'm going to try to do as many of the photo challenges as I can and post them on here and the Facebook page for my blog. Yesterday's challenge was to eat an extra veggie at lunch.

Two veggies at lunch- peppers and sweet potato fries.

Today's challenge is to hold a wall sit as long as you can. I haven't tried a wall sit in years, but here is the picture of me completing today's challenge:

I'm doing a wall sit in my dress clothes! It took three wall sits in three different locations to get a decent enough picture, so I more than completed the challenge.

Here are the eats for today:

Breakfast

Snack

I also had a light string cheese with this.

Lunch

I had applesauce instead of a cookie. I should probably take a picture of that sometime since that is what I have been eating for lunch since August 20th.
