Self Challenge Update

A while back, I challenged myself to limit our fast food intake to basically twice per pay period. I have failed and failed miserably. I honestly don't remember what happened that first pay period of the challenge, but this current pay period, I think we hit fast food 4 times? Plus ordered pizza. Plus hit the local 3-day festival and ate down there. I haven't had any desire to cook, and if it weren't for the kids, I'd have been happy having a bowl of cereal every night for dinner! This needs to change obviously. I have my meal list but haven't been using it, and I know DS is tired of asking what's for dinner, only to hear "I have no clue." It's not fair to the kids and it's self-destructive, not only in terms of nutrition and health but also to stewardship with finances and food. So, *sigh*, I'll try again. This weekend I'll inventory the freezer and pantry, and I'll start making a concerted effort to get meat out of the freezer the night before to thaw. I'm also going to start back with freezer cooking again in some form, partly for the holidays when my brother is here, but also for times like this, when I don't want to cook but have kids counting on me.
