Okay, last week was just one of those weeks for me, I was NOT MOTIVATED! I started out the week right, but by Wednesday, we decided to do a little eating out. Wed we had mexican and Friday we had Jet’s Pizza, oh well – we are so good at sticking to our budget and eating at home, a few nights out isn’t going to kill our budget. Plus, it was such a nice change of pace!
I learned one very important thing though, this may have led to my unmotivatedness (is that a word?). I forgot to print off my menu plan list and put on my fridge. I felt lost all week! Lesson learned…
