Food is the name of the game in April.
S is joining me this month, since our food lives are so closely intertwined. We have a couple of goals to improve our diets, habits, and general food intake, after months of eating whatever we felt like. Our rules have lots of exceptions, but they're there because we're also (somewhat) realistic about what we'll actually be able to accomplish.
1. We will be vegetarians for a month.
Almost. We have a few meat-based leftovers in the fridge, so we can finish those rather than wasting them. We will not be obsessive about things like broths and bases that may contain animal-based products. But we will not buy, make, or eat any dishes with meat at their center.
2. We will not go out to eat.
Except for cocktails and special occasions. (Let's be serious, folks. There will still be cocktails.) Where this is going to be especially difficult is at lunch, because I often go out with my coworkers and S often goes to the cafeteria at his office. But we'll see what we can do. There are a couple of special occasions that we will make special exceptions for -- S's mom's birthday, a dinner for my grandma, and a friend's wedding come to mind. So we will really enjoy those special occasions and some restaurant-prepared food!
K's food goal is coming up shortly!
