30 Day Challenge

I eat horribly pretty much all the time due to an unfortunate combination of laziness, stress, and lack of time. As it is, I've just graduated and I'm going to have a solid month at least before I land a job, so now's as good a time as any to get used to eating real food.

The Rules:

• No microwave or pre-packaged meals
  
• Eat out only once per week
• Absolutely NO FAST FOOD
  
• Make or prepare all meals
• Use mostly whole and fresh foods
  
• Use up foods already in the pantry
• Photograph all meals

The challenge begins May 18th and ends June 17th.
