What we're doing
Several of you have commented saying you'd be curious to know how we're filling up our time since we're not going out to movies and dinner and whatever. I'll be honest and say I don't have a super interesting answer for you! Before we started this project, we weren't really on-the-go all the time, so that hasn't really changed. I work and go to school, and Alex works 2 jobs, so our free time is actually very limited. If anything, I sort of feel like I have less free time because I'm cooking so much more! But, I love that, so it doesn't bother me.
I have been working out more, I think mostly due to the fact that I haven't been eating out, so I don't feel like crap. It's been a nice change! Other than that though, it's working, cooking, studying, reading, walking dogs, visiting our families, blogging, hanging out with each other, cleaning up the kitchen from all the cooking, and sleeping.
I'm planning on doing a week soon where I don't watch cable. (Because Alex works for the cable company, we kept cable because we don't pay for it.) But, because most people doing this project would surely do without, I'm going to try it too. Not this week, but soon. I'll keep you posted! (If this doesn't seem difficult - trust me. We are TV PEOPLE. It might just kill me.)

The TV thing seems a bit ambitious -considering American Idol and Project Runway just got started - but that will really add to the challenge. I am curious about what you are doing with the money you are saving - what is it going towards - bills, this trip coming up??
Whoa. Good luck on the TV challenge. We go back and forth on the dropping cable issue. I'll be anxious to hear how it goes.
thank you for sharing your daily ins-and-outs. my husband and i used to work multiple jobs whilst going to school, so i understand that free time is limited. last year when t.v. went to digital, we just didn't upgrade. we honestly love it. i have read more books and made more crafts than i ever have in my life. we visit with friends and family more, but i guess we were never really t.v. people like you are. whatever you decide will be right for you. i like your blog, keep up the good work.
since we removed the TV from the kitchen area it seems we rarely watch it anymore...in fact i hardly ever watch programs...you'll also realize how quiet it is with it turned off.
Can't drop cable or direct TV though...no way to get any reception without it.
