So, a week has gone by since I turned 24, and my bank accounts still haven’t recovered.  Over the last while, I have been going out to not 1 but 4 different separate wings nights depending on who I was going out with.  Not just that, but, it has also become custom to go for a nice dinner on Friday nights and something cheap on Saturdays.  On Sunday nights, I go for lunch instead and eat dinner with my Parents.

So, if you quickly do the math - of the seven days that exist in the week, and of the three meals that should be eaten each day - only one of those meals is home cooked.  Ok, so really, this isn’t anything new for me and has been habitual since I was in high school because as a family, we never had time to cook food and were always running around trying to get things done.

Well, I have decided that I need to change my habits.  Pop and Juice should no longer be the main stay of my diet, and should both be cut out as much as I can. I have already tried to do the healthy thing on Friday lunches as it has become some sort of a ritual to be ‘veggie Friday’ at work with a few coworkers where we eat a vegetarian substitute for meat.

So, over the next few weeks, I will be gradually getting rid of all the ‘junk’ food and try and switch to healthy alternatives. If anyone wants to buy me Jamie Oliver’s book as a belated birthday present, I’d gladly accept it.

Oh, and, on the topic of cutting back: I won’t be going out as much.  I’m still looking for an affordable place to live back in a real city (Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering…  if you know a place, tell me!) so that I can get out of Bowmanville.  I plan on working on a couple of my side projects and getting them up and running, as well as completing a few 360 games that I kind of put aside and never came back to.

Anyway, if you need to get a hold of me, you know how.

Ciao!
