Well, a few posts back, I made a commitment that we were going to eat in for an entire week. I am so happy to say that we made it! No meals out and even better, no snacks out! And then today it was funny. We had planned on going out for lunch to celebrate a whole week of meeting our goal, but I completely forgot! (go figure) Then we had already planned our dinner menu and were looking forward to it, so we will be staying in all of today too :)
I do have to admit, by Wednesday I was getting the itch to go out and have a meal somewhere. John even found a 'free' $5 and decided he wanted to save it instead of spend it on food.
This upcoming week has a few challenges that will make eating in very hard (one being an out-of-town interview for John!), but I am confident that we can make good decisions and try to avoid the strain on our tight budget by planning ahead and eating in as much as possible.
So, in a way this has been our fast. A way of avoiding and refraining from something to see the bigger picture.
