TORONTO GIRL CHRONICLES

Nothing like a little bit of nice weather to make you delirious with ambition and entice you to make hard to keep promises. Well, I have been thinking about it for the last couple of days, especially after watching Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. The show is about all the crap we eat out. It is based on American's eating habits, but lets face it, are we that far off? Tell the truth, how many times a week do you eat a wholesome meal that you cooked yourself? Its hard, I know! I talk about it all the time, I preach that home cooked meals save us money, I  am aware of all the crap that fast food contains, yet I can not seem to make the time to cook (consistently).

That is why today I stand here (ok, sit) infront of you (or my computer rather) and propose this month's challenge: One month of not eating out. If we are going to do something lets just go BIG. Right? That means  no junk food, no buying lunch or dinner, and cutting down on Starbucks drinks (only once a week). I want to see the impact that eating out has on my moods, on my efficiency, on my weight, on my health, on my skin, on my budget, on my life! I will write once a week about my eating-out boycott, how it is going, if I cheated, post easy recipes and fun things that  I have learned.

I know it will be tough (that's an understatement), but hopefully you will join me and we'll keep each other motivated :).

Oh! and lets start tomorrow because today I forgot my lunch...I made it, but I forgot it...baby steps, baby steps...
