Two birds with one stone: Health and Wealth

Besides getting my finances in order, I also want to start eating better and working out. I've was thinking about what to do to save money when it comes to eating lunch, so I decided that I will continue to eat salads everyday at school. To eat lunch in the cafeteria it costs $2 and I get an entire meal! Sure beats having to make a sandwich early in the morning or attempt to cook up something. So this is what the weekly meal plan is:

-Breakfast options: Oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, breakfast bar, banana, whole wheat waffles, or any other healthy choices

-Lunch: $10 per week on salads

-Dinner options: rice, beans, chicken, fish, sandwich, or other alternatives.

-snacks: fruit, granola bars, cheese stick, crackers, teddy grahams, carrots,

So to keep tabs on my budget, I'm going to take out the $30 cash and only bring $2 to school with me. I'm thinking about doing the same thing with my budget on gas, but honestly, I've never calculated how much I spend on gas per month. I guess I should start at $50 per month and see how long that lasts....I'm not sure about this at all.

ps. I'm so excited! I can't wait to get that paycheck (Economic Stimulus Payment)! I know exactly where it's going too: my debt and my savings account!
