How to break a NY resolution in 6 days

Co-Resolutions:  Only eat out once a week
                            Only do a hotel vacation once a month 
                            Walk every day
                            Only 1 after-dinner drink

Well, that went well.  Guess which one we broke first. We're redoubling our efforts to be healthy in 2018, so we do walk every day.  We walk to breakfast restaurants, to bars, to cemeteries, to dog parks, around the blocks to local tree-libraries--it's been 39 to 59 degrees every day--no shoveling--so haven't broken that one yet.

In 7 days we broke it 7 ways--Eating "out"
Sunday - J'ville Tavern  (home of "Husband Day Care")  drinks and live music for NYE
Monday- spontaneous lunch at tiny Siam Cafe (cuz you shouldn't grocery shop hungry)
Tuesday- Lemongrass Thai restaurant take out (so there'd be leftovers for Wed lunches)
Wednesday - ribs from Ray's Supermarket which you have to drive by on the way home
Thursday - artichoke dip from Ray's because roasting the big chicken will take so long
Friday - BBQ'd Tritips and cheese from Ray's Supermarket (well, cuz it's Friday Happy Hour)
Saturday- Mustard Seed for breakfast before we hit The Last JEDI at TInseltown Movies--me trying to tell Judd, yes, that is the REAL Carrie Fisher, her last movie, not digitally imagined, but not able to prove it until we power-up the phones after the movie. It's exhausting being right so often.

Really?? Does it count as eating out if you bring home restaurant food and eat it in ?  Does it count as eating out if you *just* get an appetizer from the grocery store because no one feels like the Iron Chef when you get home in the pea-soup-thick-fog-work-all-day-and-now-it's-dark?

Tomorrow, we're signed up for a new yoga class.  But we can't walk to it!!!  Might have to break a second resolution......  What were yours?

HaPPy NeW YeaR!
