Progress on my Triathlon Challenge
Been quite a while since I updated regarding my Triathlon Challenge!
As you may remember, the three parts of my Triathlon Challenge were:
Thrift, Health and Cleanliness.
The "Thrift" section oonly lasted three months before I gave up/Modified it. The *new* goal, which is completely livable yet inconvenient, is NO QUICK FOODS. No boxed meals, no mixes, no frozen dinners... if I want a Pizza I have to make the dough, grate the cheese, chop the vegetables for the sauce... I don't go so far as to grind and cure my own peperoni, but I'm making everything "From Scratch". Ends up being cheaper in the long run because it's just so much easier to have an apple than to make an entire apple pie.
The "Health" has gone down to "Get t the gym at least once a week", and I've been able to get there an average of two times per week ever since then. Since my last update I've walked a whopping 34.7 miles, which means just 1,097.99 miles to DISNEY LAND!
The "Cleanliness" I have failed, miserably. No comment :(
As you may remember, the three parts of my Triathlon Challenge were:
- Try to spend less than $20 per month on Groceries for me and my family
- Get to the Gym at least three days per week
- Clean for at least one hour per day
