Blog Forward Challenge #2 by ZonePerfect

Time for our update in the 2014 Blog Forward Challenge from ZonePerfect. We started the year with three goals…

For this challenge, I had selected the following goals:

1. Increase physical activity by using our Gazelle at least five days a week.  —- Still not on it five days a week but I am walking laps around the main level of the house a couple of times a day.

2. Avoid snacking by planning my day so that I am not out on the run needing something to eat. ——  I have been able to stay on track with this by keeping a nice supply of nuts, protein bars and dried fruit in my go bag.

3. Plan our meals to not only save money on groceries but to improve our nutritional intake each day. ——  Since January, we have also purchased a hog and now have a freezer full of beef and pork.  By planning our meals on a weekly basis I have been able to save money and time which will hopefully allow for more time to work on the other goals.

How am I doing? I would give myself a grade of a B for the challenge so far. There is certainly room to improve, but we have already been able to lose a few pounds off our bodies and shave more than a few dollars each week off the grocery tab.

How are you doing on your goals? Here is a really cool ebooklet with healthier options for meal planning.

Remember be telling you about the bars I got last time? Well… I hid them this time! My crew loves the ZonePerfect bars and I love that the bars are a healthier option for all of us. My favorite are still the Perfectly Simple bars.

My goal is still on track to be able to say YES to the following questions by the end of the year long challenge.  Why don’t you post your goals below and we can all support each other while working on them at home….
