Well, I made it through the first week. For the most part, it wasn't too bad. The biggest help was planning!! I had pretty much planned out my meals Monday - Friday.
I tried some great new recipes and I'll admit that it was good to get back into the kitchen and cook "real" food. I had gotten into the habit of using so many frozen foods that I wasn't really cooking very much. I definitely need to make sure to plan for the weekends too - even if that means a trip to the grocery store on Friday to stock up for the weekend.
Like I said, for the most part it wasn't so bad. Unfortunately, by Friday afternoon I noticed that I had gotten a bit grumpy. My friend asked if it was because I missed my favorite foods - could be. I think that as long as I have plenty of options stocked up here at home, I should be OK. I know that I don't have to deprive myself but I DO need to make better choices.
