Motivational Mondays Week 11: Go one week w/o eating leftovers

11 weeks ago on a quest in 2014 to face some fears and mainly move out of my comfort zones I began Motivational Mondays.  I'm hoping to grow in many areas by embarking on this journey. I have heard that your amount of growth is directly related to how uncomfortable you are willing to be.  Join me this year as I get uncomfortable and get up off my duff.

So, on week 11 I decided to tackle #30. Go one week w/o eating leftovers

Single, or not, I am certain that I am not the only one who eats leftovers on a regular basis. Leftovers allow for me to eat more healthy (will explain that one in a minute) and cook less often. Now, let me explain for all you hunky dudes out there reading my blog looking for a babe to get hitched up to.  I LOVE TO COOK!  I just...........don't really care to cook for myself.  It seems like such a waste to cook for just myself.  It's so much easier to nuke an 80 cent pot pie when it comes right down to it.  However, when I do cook for myself, I am sure to make more than enough.  I have leftovers for a few days usually and any remaining gets frozen for a later date in time to be left-leftovers for an extremely lazy day.

Needless to say, going w/o leftovers was not an easy task.  I had to be a little innovative w/ my meals so as not to have any leftovers for 1 week.  What did I do?  Well, since 1/2 of my daily plate is supposed to be fruits and/or veggies I decided to have them in the evening and made sure that there weren't any left overs in the fridge or freezer and that I didn't make any so that I wouldn't be tempted.

Level of uncomfortable-ness on a scale of 1-10, 1 being slightly uncomfortable and 10 being "I am only doing this for my readers and will never attempt this again" this weeks challenge rates a 4.

So, @ the end of the 11th week of Motivational Mondays I am proud to say I have achieved my goal and can cross it off the list.
