Day 1 February Challange

February 3rd, 2009 at 12:21 am

This month, I'm challanging myself to spend NOTHING on eating out at work. Day 1 went well. Packed breakfast & lunch and I stocked up my desk drawer with snacks & a backup lunch (soup) just in case. Made dinner at home tonight as well. Yay!

As a bonus, I stayed within my WeightWatchers plan, which is another February goal Smile

Worked out in my living room and according to my Heart Rate Monitor, I burned nearly 400 calories. Not bad for a quick work out! This meets part of another February goal - working out several times a week!

Good luck with your challenge. My goal is to only go out once per week. Dining out is so dang expensive and we go to casual restaurants!

WhiteStripe, I did a bit of Tae Bo this time around. I try to mix things up. I have several tapes - Tae Bo, Walk Away the Pounds, ect. In the nicer weather, I LOVE walking outside. I want to add toning exercises, but first I have to get back into the rythem of working out
