We are getting ready for the $20 a week challenge starting January 1st… We are both A little bit nervous, but very excited.
In the run up to this challenge we will recommend you splurge on a few items before the 1st.
• Stock up on any 2 for 1 deal you can keep in your pantry for the year. For example, we stock up on diced tomatoes, jarred pasta sauce, pasta, and tuna. You have no idea how often this is going to save your day!
• Buy some flour for making bread in bulk. It’s going to be a lot easier to make your bread from scratch than to buy it. Not to mention it will not be full of garbage to keep it “fresh”.
• Take some measurements, including your weight and waist size, before the 1st January. This will be a starting point to see how much you can lose in 365 days.
• Practice saying “No!” You don’t need to go out and spend $5 on a premium beer, or $1 on a McDonald’s item. Keep it fresh and healthy.
• Take out $20 CASH for your first week, and find an old calculator to keep with you for those shopping trips. The $20 is all you are allowed to take.
• Start meal planning, get used to planning your meals for the week, and what you can take to work for leftovers.
• Think of a exercise goal for next year. Whether it is running a marathon, or simply walking up the stairs without gasping for air.
That’s it for now kids…Sorry it’s been quiet the past few days. We have had company over and have been busy preparing the new Podcast.
