Budget Crackdown: Day Two

This year, I'm using Lent to help me enforce my self-imposed budget cutbacks. It will help a lot that Andrea is giving up alcohol, so we can go out and not drink together. My budget rules:
1. No fast food. No exceptions.
2. No buying alcohol when I'm out with friends.
3. I can only spend money going out one night a week.
These cutbacks should serve two-fold. I will save money (which is good as my buffer is going to be gone by the end of March) and I will get back to a healthier lifestyle. I hate feeling fat every time I go into my closet. This week has been hard on my exercising objectives as I had to work later a couple of days and spent all of Monday afternoon cleaning my grill and oven. Not fun, but I always figure housework makes pretty decent exercise. This weekend I have to get back on track. Today I have to work on meeting my weekly job contact quota.
