A new day
I'm sitting here watching the Steelers game and hoping for a win. Go Steelers!
So, we're three days into a new year. It's still hard to believe. As I get older, I find the years go faster. Next thing you know, it will be Valentine's Day.
The challenge continues. I did spend $2.87 on Friday for a cheap lunch. But, that was with restraint. Thank you dollar and more menus! I haven't really gone shopping or really gone anywhere since the challenge started, other than that one stop at the grocery store. Yesterday I planned menus for the next week, or at least through Wednesday. So that's a start. But I have to stand in front of the freezer sometime and figure out what's there since that hasn't been done yet. But I think right now, there's almost anything I could want of our normal choices. I should work on some freezer meals, but that will be another time.
I did make lettuce wraps tonite. It was an interesting experience. I'm undecided if I will do it again. Possibly, because they actually weren't too bad. I just have to figure out how to do the lettuce they way they do in restaurants. :)
Last night and today was spent putting away Christmas and cleaning my living room and dining room. One upside to this challenge is that I'm trying to keep up on the cleaning a little at a time. I want to get into some type of rotation. I know there's lots of websites out there, but I'm not ready to tackle that yet. One thing at a time or else I won't do anything. So, focus on the no spending and trying to be more proactive about meal planning and keeping my kitchen clean. Then next will be the cleaning schedule and household binder.
2015 will be the year of change. I can do this.
