Day 2 Morning

This morning I made my breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the day. I was beginning to prepare one of my Pattie burgers (6 for $5!) and realized the burgers had 23g of fat! I was so busy making sure to stay under my $15 that I forgot to look at how healthy (or unhealthy...) these burgers were for me. I was so hungry for breakfast this morning that I had to choke down all 23g... but any other week I would have thrown the burger out.

For lunch, peanut butter sandwich... For dinner, peanut butter sandwich & an ice cream bar (12 for $2.70).

My loaf of bread is looking pretty low already. Considering I am having about two sandwich's a day this is of concern to me... I'm keeping my remaining $2 in case I need more bread by the end of the week.

So far the biggest challenge for me? That would be having to eat unhealthy. When I began looking at foods that i could buy in bulk for the least amount of money there was a definite pattern - bread bread bread (i ended up getting spaghetti and a loaf of bread, which will be my lunch and dinner for the week). After living on a college-student budget for three years now, I did recognize that I need to treat myself occasionally in order to stay on track... so my 12 ice cream bars (for only $2.69) was my best buy yet. although again, unhealthy.

Tonight will be a challenge as I sit at a board meeting with a provided free dinner... as I eat my Peanut butter sandwich...
