February Challenge

Four Short Weeks

  by Diana

OH man...I too can't believe February is over- I didn't expect it to but it went by sooo quickly. People have been asking me all along how the challenge is/was- honestly it was great!!! A bit easier than I anticipated, and I'm now in the habit of cooking and bringing lunch every day, versus my previous go-to of picking something up for dinner, if not eating out with friends.
 
On Friday, a snow day for me, Charles came by for lunch and dinner-- I cooked whole wheat penne with broccoli and cream sauce, and then kimchi fried rice.

For the final weekend, my parents came in with friends and took us to dinner (Best skirt steak@ Cafe Loup), and o Sunday, I made French toast with delicious multigrain rustic bread from Trader Joe's. I also ate leftovers from the night before.

Today felt like a continuation more or less of the Challenge, as I brought lunch and cooked linguine and chicken for dinner for my brotha and me. My one splurge- Compost cookies from Momofuku Milk Bar. 

With a couple bdays, a trip to FL, and a lot of catching up to do in March, I already know I'll be busily spending. But I'm also pretty confident I'll still spend less than I did in Jan by sticking to my new habits. Thanks guys for letting me be a part of this year's Feb Challenge!! and def. sign me up for the next.
