6 days without eating out!!!!!

My friend Sunni's most recent blog was about favorite spots to eat out. I loved reading her favorites and it got me thinking about mine. Today for lunch we ate at Fuddrucker's (one of Keri's favorite places) and it hit me that we have set a new record. We went 6 days without eating out. The only food/beverage out was a drink at Quik Trip yesterday. I know that doesn't sound like much time, but our family likes to eat out so this was a big deal for us. We're trying to cut back just because it is expensive and not always very healthy to eat out. I jokingly told Keri we should try to give up eating out for Lent. He reminded me that Lent is in the spring and that's a long way away! All this said, I'm really proud of us for going 6 days without eating out. And since I've been cooking decent meals again it wasn't even that painful. It is amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it!

6 days would be a record in our house! I usually only cook 2 nights a week...3 if I feel extra productive! I think I'm going to consider this a challenge for next week!
