Heres the Challenge

This is mostly for me, but if anyone wants to follow along, awesome!

My name is Ortal and my goal is to not spend ANY money on food for 30 days, starting 5/5. Why? because i make a great salary, yet I have NO money in the bank. Even after paying off my bills I should still be left with a cushion. I eat too much fast food, treat my boyfriend too much, and generally make poor decisions when it comes to food. This has affected my weight, my health, my bank account.

So one step at a time, Im going to do this. I went grocery shopping last weekend and I am pretty stocked. Normally I go on a big trip every pay period, then get things here and there as they run out. Crackers, seltzer (god do I drink a lot of seltzer), etc.

But considering I eat at my boyfriends house a few days a week, and I work a 9-5, I shouldnt be running out that often. I REALLY shouldnt. So heres the challenge:

For 30 Days:
No spending money on groceries, fast food, etc.
Free food is acceptable, but don't ask for it.
Exception: produce for Annabella (the baby)... but my dad usually buys that for me.

While doing all this I'll try to maintain my generally healthy eating habits. When I do eat at home, I dont eat junk. I just eat too much of the good stuff. So I need to learn to ration better.

Alrighty, here we go
