I recently began tracking my expenses and have been able to see how much money I spend on eating out. My challenge is to see how many days I can go without buying any food that is not part of my groceries. No running to the burrito shop on lunch breaks, stopping for a slice of pizza on my way home, or dining out. For now I will see how many days I can go, and establish a solid goal later. I'll use this blog to motivate and tally the days. I hope to post pictures of good meals that I make, online coupons that I find, and things that I learn!

Day twenty seven


They say it takes 30 days to fully form a habit. It seems like the reason it is hard to form habits is that you eventually hit a hump in the process where you aren't as motivated as you have been. This is how I'm feeling about my challenge lately, but I think with a grocery run after payday will be able to add a little bit more excitement to the food I've been eating. The staples I've been making at home have started to become tedious, today a coworker asked if I wanted to grab a burrito for lunch and I almost threw the towel in. But I held strong! (Luckily I rarely have my wallet on me these days anyway, because there hasn't been much need for it.) I believe I am going to try to make a quiche next week and would love any ideas or tips on quiche if anyone has any. I'm going to enjoy this egg/cheese toast for now!
