Well I have completely destroyed my 'diet' and missed my meeting. I will rejoin in two weeks and not beat myself up over this setback.
On the food waste front, I threw out some cooked chicken (which could have easily been frozen, but I was too lazy) and some mouldy carrots yesterday. How long does it take for a carrot to actually go mouldy?

Arrrrgggh!
I have gained 5.3 pounds. In four days. Seriously. How is this even possible? I know I am upset and stress eating, but really. Time to focus!
As for the food waste - well the fridge didn't get cleaned out Thursday because I ended up working Thursday night for a couple hours, so I slept after dinner. I threw out a sad eggplant that I had bought to make smokey baba ganouche.
Sad.
This week - plan to continue eating/using up the pantry, try to avoid perishable waste, attempt to submit first writing assignment. Really, really try.

2013 - still a long ways to go
I have been following The Frugal Girl for quite a while now. I have been trying to reduce my food waste, and some weeks have good success, but other weeks are pretty bad.

Not sure how this all will work out - but I thought I'd resurrect the blog and attempt to honestly track waste this year.
I'm half-heartedly attempting a pantry challenge this month, but prior to the new year, I managed to purchase a LOT of groceries that just never got eaten.
So I finally threw out (into the compost at least):
Hopefully I will do better next week!

So I finally threw out (into the compost at least):
- english cucumber (whole)
- 1 large box of prepared salad
- 1 box of 'live' lettuce
Hopefully I will do better next week!
