Money spent today: $3.17. on an apple, red onion, and can of pasta sauce.
Dinner was so NOT exciting. Left over pasta and tofu from 3 days ago, and a bowl of cereal.
I found myself licking almond butter off a spoon at 9:30 pm - rationing my bread. I should've taken photos. Next time, because you know it's gonna happen again.
This is what I'm finding. I'm not excited about eating anymore. I'm just doing it as fuel, to keep me going, to keep my body in good working condition. This sounds all great, but I am probably not getting the nutrients and vitamins that I need, especially for the amount of energy I burn. Also, I enjoy the little things in life. And if I can't enjoy my meals...then that takes away a LOT of little things.
Oatmeal with nuts and fruit for breakfast. 2 (free) coffees with milk and sugar. Black beans with spinach, half a tomato, a handful of olives and some balsamic vinegar. Exciting (!!!) jungle animal cookies and cashews (2 handfuls left) to snack on during the day, and my boring dinner. I think I'm missing a lot of fresh stuff here.
The thing is, I normally eat healthy. Add about 5 more veggies, twice the volume, and way more variety to what I've eaten for the day (as listed above), and it'll be closer to what I usually eat. I'm finding that it's very difficult to keep this up. It's not that I'm hungry...I know from what I've eaten, that I shouldn't be. But my body is so not used to that.
Walking through the grocery store today, I realized that I really couldn't buy anything! It's all in the $3 and up range...it means that for next week...some serious meal planning and one big shop must occur.
Money spent in 3 days: $12.92.
Money left for the week: $22.08
Free pizza tomorrow night...hell ya and thank the stars for PK (product knowledge) sessions at work!
