You can’t believe how I’ve looked forward to today’s arrival! I don’t actually expect to discard much today, but I am going to take empty boxes home, for some weekend purging. And I decided this morning that I’m discarding the late night dinners that M prefers but that I dislike for several reasons. Instead, from now on I’m planning meal time for between 6:00 and 6:30 most nights, and by no later than 7:00 p.m. on Nia nights.

Last night we pulled together a simple, yummy and mostly nutritious meal despite our agreement that there was “nothing in the house”. I think I enjoyed it most because we didn’t cave & order in, and because it was so EASY!! I need to keep track of these successful (healthy, cheap, easy to prepare, easy to keep on hand) meal ideas because 90% of my failure to cook at home is now attributed to my inability to come up with an idea.

This Discardia holiday happens to be 13 days long and in celebration of it, I plan to discard at least one habit, item or idea each day. Today, day #1, I celebrate with a dinner time that suits MY body, my lifestyle and my wishes.
