Bring it on, March

Apparently I need to reign in my cravings for the sake of others as well. I have this terrible habit of verbally stating what it is I'm in the mood for and forcing the people around me to reconsider their food choices. I've done so to at least three of my co-workers in the last week.

As March rolls in, so does my need to start cooking. I need to prepare meals that I can take to work as leftover lunches. I'm thinking I will start with the meatlovers casserole. I'm a little bit excited about it. I was supposed to use my goals last year to turn me into a person that ate out less and cooked more. It didn't work. I can, as previously noted, eat out everyday if my budget allowed. My budget doesn't allow.

Since, I apparently have commitment issues to things in a large scale. Things, not people. I'm going to turn my goals for this year into small bite size portions. Starting with March. I want to cook more starting March. Stop eating out unless it's social. I'm not talking calling up my friends every night and asking if they want to try the new Asian fusion spot in town. No. I have to wait for them to make the plans and then invite me. It makes me a bad friend, but for it I'm known. I don't typically make plans (maybe I'd see them more if I did). Anywho, my goal is to at least cook four meals. I can eat off of leftovers for a week.  Cooking daily isn't a viable goal for me. I like to cook a big meal once a week and eat the leftovers.

Let's see if I decide to succeed or fail at epic proportions. The first meal is already decided. Four meals? Come on. Not hard at all.
