Getting Closer

So, as we get closer to the start day two things are happening to me (Janet). First, I am getting nervous. I keep thinking, "Why am I doing this?" Second, I keep wanting to eat out! It's like I am trying to overload, so I don't miss it when I can't do it! That is silly, but it's real!

In preparation for this, I am going to start making a list of things that I want to always have in the house. I figure if there is always something to make then I won't feel pressured to go out. Jaimie and I are also going to plan menus each week, so we can be prepared with supplies. If you have any recommendations for kid friendly and easy meals please let us know!

This really is going to be fun!

Sneak Peak

So, if I post my first entry does it mean it's true? My friend Jaimie and I have decided that, beginning June 14th, we are going to go an entire month without eating out. That means no carry out, no dining out, just home cooked meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The only exception to this rule will be for special occasions that involve going out to eat and of course travel. The goal for both of us is to save money and maybe drop a few pounds in the process! The plan is that we will both blog through this experience. Look for recipes, advice, and laughter as we share this month with you. Who knows...it might lead to something more!
