02_The One Week Challenge: Week 2

A good friend of mine was giving me some life advice last week when she recommended that we restart the One-Week Challenge e-mail chain.  The concept is simple:  every week you come up with a challenge for yourself, tell everyone else on the list, and do your best to see it through.  The idea is that if you tell people other than yourself, you'll be more motivated as you are now accountable to your friends.  Last week I (successfully) swore off cigarettes for the entire week.  That wasn't too hard.

This week will be different.  This week I am not eating anything I don't prepare myself.  Now, to say I eat out a lot is to say that blogs have the potential to become pretentious.  It's glaringly obvious.  So this will be something of an organizational challenge for me.

Am I a good cook?  Yes.  Do I love cooking?  Double yes.  Do I ever do it?  Well...

And so with a budget of $100, I set off to Harris Teeter to do some shopping.  The results:

AND, I came in under budget by almost $40.  I gotta do this more often!  Now that I have Technology and can easily upload pictures, I hope to put up lots of really nice food-porn photos of what I've created to win this challenge.
