No more buying lunch in 2009
So in an effort to keep up with my goal of getting to 125-130 lbs. by the end of the year, my goal for the rest of the year is to not go out to eat for lunch.
Right now, I go out 2-4x/month. And it’s usually to get a burger & fries because the store is run by a cute old couple, it’s delicious and cheap. But not exactly healthy.
I’ll probably save between $60-70 doing this, and that would be nice. But it’s not really about the money, it’s about the challenge. I’ve done it before, and I want to know that I can do it again.
There are 54 more work days left in the year. I can do this!
I feel like this is kind of like the monthly challenges I used to have, but just an extended version. :)
