October Goals
- Fix screen door- Uh, I got as far as measuring it... *smh*
- Get rid of 50 Items- Check!
- Continue Erin's 7.0 Book Challenge- HELL YEAH! So happy about this one- only took me 3 years to actually complete it!
- Finish Jenn's Film Challenge- 1 left
- Grocery Challenge (inspired by Steph):
I'm calling this one a pass. I did clean out the fridge/freezer and pantry by consciously eating from those instead of buying more stuff. I probably spent about $35 on groceries total, but I think it would have been more beneficial to track how much I spent on eating out as well.
As far as tracking what I ate, I didn't track weekends because I eat at Blue's and/or out every weekend. Monday lunches are always leftovers from Sunday dinner, and Friday dinners are always pizza. Also, I forgot about the last 2 days of October. Here's how the rest of the meals went. Week of...
10/2: Brought in sandwiches from home for lunch, ate out every night due to events
10/9: lunches- (microwave) bean burritos, (salad in a bag) Caesar chicken on a wrap 2x, Popeye's. Dinners- chili over egg noodles, buffalo chicken pasta bake, Wendy's, lighter fettuccine alfredo.
10/16: lunches- leftover broccoli mac n cheese, lunch w/ mom, Compleats, Mexican leftovers. Dinners- leftovers from lunch w/mom, Mexican out 2x, chicken nuggets, stuffing, and corn (yes, that counts as a meal).
10/23: 2 free lunch @ work, Barilla microwave meal, Cheese-steak n fries (out), Dinners- Chinese and leftovers for 3 days, chicken parm sandwich.

ReplyDeleteYou killed it in October! Good luck in November!
ReplyDeleteI love the goal of getting rid of a certain number of things. That's ingenious! Now I'm going to copy that and try to get rid of 50 things also.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to do the film challenge so bad but it was taking so long for me to figure out movies I hadn't seen that fit the categories that I gave up!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea getting rid of fifty things! I totally need to do that. I feel like stuff is taking over my house and I hate it. I totally need to downsize on the stuff I have. There is stuff all around my house and I hate it. Time for me to start cleaning.
ReplyDeleteOoh have fun with the rest of the film challenge! Some nice movies on there - many I still need to see. haha

Sounds like October was a good month. Hopefully November is going good for you as well. The Live Your Best Holiday Life looks like an interesting challenge. There are a couple of things there I may think about doing myself in December.
