I'm back after my 31 day trip and adjusting. I've been home a week. I want to do more things and am ok spending on things we appreciate and make us happier.
I also have set a record not eating out -- a whole week we did not go out except for lunches at work. That is very atypical.
I will try now to go out only when we want to go out and know will fully enjoy it, not going out just to get out of the house or not make dinner. We are still free to do it, we are just being more selective. So I don't feel it is a sacrifice or that I'm depriving myself of anything. On the contrary, we will enjoy when we go and will have more to spend freely on things we like more. Oh, and I am making quality meals with first-grade healthy ingredients. That is one of the main benefits.
Today though, I am alone, so I just made a very basic meal with one left over lamb chop and whatever I found left in a fridge.
It took 5 minutes, not any more than it would have taken to buy Chipotle on the way home.
So I'm keeping it up and it is easier than I thought.
I'm home for a week now and we did not go to eat out.
