100 Days of Eating at Home Challenge - Update!


Today is day 82 of the 100 Days of Eating at Home Challenge!  How are you doing?  I have found that making my meal plans more realistic assists with sticking to my meal plan most days.  I still have problems with planning ahead and taking food with me to work or if I'm going to be away from home, but I'm still improving.

I think the best news is that I am currently 31.6 pounds lighter than I was in July 2011!!  I'm still loosing slow and steady, which I am excited about.  Now, I have the "problem" of finding pants that fit me correctly.  I honestly do not have one pair of jeans that I have worn in the past couple of weeks that I thought were actually comfortable and fitting me correctly.  SAD.

I think the worst news is that I still drink commercial HFCS soda everyday.  Addicted?  Absolutely.  It seems to be less, but I guess I should be proud of myself for the times I choose water over the pepsi.  Baby steps...

Other changes:  With the rapidly increasing food prices in the country right now, I increased my food budget to $200 a month instead of $150.  I think that is more realistic, especially when I'm buying milk and eggs from a farm and possibly my chicken (saving my pennies for a spring chicken order!).

I'd love to hear how you are doing with eating at home.  18 days to go!  Will you make it?
