Efforts Week One

Week one of my new efforts proved mostly successful.  It took by Day two to realize that I was going to need more than just two Starbucks coupons a week. I decided that reducing lunches out would be much more beneficial, both calorie-wise and dollars spent.

I made a third Starbucks coin and placed it in my handy-dandy handmade holder (picture to come) removing a Lunch square in the process.

However, all that to say, I did make my coffee quota by Friday...and only had coffee. No Espresso. Check!

I went out to eat once. Double check!

Damn you, Cupcake Truck, and your easy ways to win free cupcakes. They are currently running a giveaway a day (or were last week) and they would Tweet and FB post what the secret clue was for the day. One day was singing the first stanza of Jingle Bells and my days (shame on me) were what my true love gave to me on the seventh day (Seven Swans a-Swimmin') and what brought Frosty the Snowman to life (the Top Hat). I consumed two cupcakes, one passed my allowance. But...I didn't spend any money which is the second half of this quest I am on...save calories and save money.

All in all, I give myself a B for the week. Only one lunch out, two cupcakes (for free), and three cups of coffee (Tall Sugar-Free Hazelnut drip w/room; I add non-fat milk to it and a dash of cinnamon).

Let Week Two commence!
