A new year. A new plan.


For 2011, after struggling to come up with a singular New Years Resolution for ourselves, we decided to do break down our ideas and goals and do each of them for a set period of time. We started on January 3rd with "Not Eating Out" for 36.5 days and set out to keep the momentum going over the entire year. What we found throughout that process though, was the easier, less collaborative they got, the harder it was to keep, and the easier they were to let go. We SO enjoyed everyday of our toughest challenges - and this year, having reflected on what worked and what didn't- we've decided to bring back our favorites- push ourselves by doing less longer and keeping each other motivated along the way...


So, for 2012, please join us on our new adventure and wild ride that will be 50 days.

Happy hours are hard

When committing not to eat out- missing out on happy hour deliciousness can be the worst! (Literally, the worst!)

Since the start of this journey, nothing has truly tempted Jon and I more, or made us feel like we were missing out on something really fun, than needing to pass up happy hours. What's funny and slightly ironic, is that we don't even drink that often (go figure)- Which makes me realize just how tempting and important good wine, good company and time to just enjoy is to us. But really, when you throw in a pita and hummus appetizer and some good specials, what is better?

This photo was taken of us on Friday when our team went to happy hour to celebrate the end of a round of our work and the start to a new one. Wine, beverages, and dozens of appetizers literally overtook the table (and at least 50% of them were vegan!)!We participated in joy of the happy hour, even though we couldn't eat or drink (which, although fun-just isn't the same). Lessons learned.

Sometimes it's so hard to say no, and I just thank my lucky stars that we are both in this together!

P.S. Doesn't Jon look a little angry in this photo too! Ha! (Nothing like letting your real emotions show for a photo) :o)
