8. Give up fast food for one month
I did it! Here are my reflections . . .
1. I thought that making meals every day might give me a new appreciation for cooking. It didn't. I'm still not a big fan.
2. I didn't actually lose any weight (my last entry is wrong - my scale was lying to me).
3. It's amazing what a convenience eating out is. Justin and I have very strange schedules and we eat at weird times. It was such a pain. And of course there were those times I forgot to bring dinner to Cornerstone when I'm there from 1:00 to 8:30.
4. We did save money. I gave myself an extra ten dollars a week for groceries and never went over that budget. We ALWAYS go over the alloted $10 a week for fast food.
5. It wasn't AS hard as I thought it would be to plan for meals every night of the week. I planned about five meals a week and then bought a lot of quick easy things like frozen taquitos, chicken patties, hot pockets for weekends and nights that we were really busy.
Overall, I'm really proud of myself for doing it. It wasn't thaaaat hard. I just realized that eating out is the ONE splurge I allow myself. It's so often the only date night Justin and I ever have and I felt so deprived not doing it. So basically I'm just glad it's done and I don't ever want to do it again!! :-)

I am SO proud of you. Seriously. Mason and I eat out way too much, I dont think I could ever handle going 1 month! You did it. Yay! Now go splurge. :)
I'm impressed! I don't think I could ever do it:)
I know, I felt a little pathetic even making that a goal in the first place. Its comforting that you guys have about the same amount. Haha.
So cool! Eating out is definitely one of my favorite things. We don't do it THAT much, but I do like to once in a while.
And it looks like we weigh somewhere around the same, so that should make you feel better... ;)
Congrats, Sadie. I'm impressed. I think mine for this is a week and that's hard for me as a college student. I'm impressed.
