Meeeehhhhh!
And where does the fault lie? With the solar eclipse...yea!
Ok...I know it was us! We've been struggling quite a bit over the last 2 weeks. The whole "more life...less work...work is not worth you're health" thing is really proving to be much more challenging than anticipated.
Not only is it the time constraints, but it also ends up being getting over the funk of a bad day.
Saturday, for example, we needed to go grocery shopping but first we had some favors we had to do first. Before that was over, we had a business phone call that was, I'll say, less that peachy. Basically, we suck at our job...but I won't bore you with the details. The problem with me (and I think it affected Kurt in a similar way) is that I tend to shut down when I'm in a funk. So what was a need to go grocery shopping turned into let's just go out and get food for lunch and dinner.
The three things that are wrong with the situation: 1. it's not worth letting the outside forces affect us in such a negative way; 2. going out to get a fast meal should never be the option; and 3. if you ate 2 meals a day like the ones we ate Saturday, not only are you loading your body with crap it doesn't need, but you could spend upwards of $1000/month on just lunch and dinner!! Nothing else!!
So, we are struggling to get back on the wagon today (yesterday we each had a sushi roll for lunch - in comparison to Saturday, not bad, but not great).
It's going to be a hard week for us both. Kurt is out of town for his MorMor's memorial Thursday to Sunday, so he really isn't in control of the meal planning while he is away (even though I know he will be given good options) while I am home and will be trying to convince myself that, Yes...I need to cook something for dinner and not just airpop some popcorn and call it a meal...at least Thursday and Friday. I have people to cook for Saturday and Sunday :) YEA!!
On a final note, groceries were a little on the high side this week...about $210. We needed a couple of pricy things this week (maple syrup is just WAY too expensive) and I'm cooking for an extra 4 people this weekend so the price goes up a bit...but really there were a couple of sales I couldn't pass up for things I know I can use in the following week.
I'll let you know how we fare this week...and I'll try to at the very least get some more recipes up...we've just been pretty busy.
