Insert Dates into table

I have a table with three fields Day (Date), Period (int), Period_Week (int)I want to insert data into the table as follows

Starting date - 4th October 2014 to 1st January 2016

Day            Period            Period_Week
04/10/2014      10            4
05/10/2014      10            4
06/10/2014      10            4
07/10/2014      10            4
08/10/2014      10            4
09/10/2014      10            4
10/10/2014      10            4
11/10/2014      11            1

The Period Week runs from Sat to Fri, and there are 4 weeks in a Period, which is why on the 11th October it goes onto Period 11 Week 1.

There are 13 periods in a year and 4 weeks in a period, the last date of period 13 week 4 is 02/01/15
Any help on this would be appreciated

--specify date range to list
DECLARE @start_date date

SET @start_date = '20141004'
SET @end_date = '20160101'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DECLARE @known_period_1_start_date date
--will this always be the first Sat of the year?
--if so, this code can easily be made generic to work for every year
SET @known_period_1_start_date = '20140104'

) AS assign_alias_2        
WHERE t.tally BETWEEN 0 AND DATEDIFF(DAY, @start_date, @end_date)
ORDER BY t.tally
Also on my comment you can said with will be the First day of week of the SQl to start the qury like this

SET DATEFIRST 6 -- this will set Saturday as the first day for the query
