Welcome to MY challenge

Welcome to my blog. I will be participating in a food stamp challenge consisting of only spending $21 and no more than $31 on food this week. This certainly will be a challenge given that I eat when I want and most times with no limitations. It's always interesting to experience life in someone else's shoes. So, this week I will be blogging everyday to explain what I'm feeling and going through on such a tight budget. Hope you enjoy!!

Day 1 of the challenge



Today I said goodbye to my favorite restaurant.  Bye Jason's Deli!! See you next week....I'm sooo sad about leaving behind the strawberry cheesecake :(

My grocery list included spending on the following:

100 Calorie Right Bites Sandies Shortbread, 6-Count Pouches (Pack of 6)                                            Dannon Activia Strawberry Low Fat Yogurt

yogurt
turkey sandwich meat
cheese
bread
skinless chicken breast
strawberries
Big K Diet Green Tea
Fresh Broccoli
100 calorie shortbread snacks

My challenge today wasn't so bad.  

Breakfast: Strawberry Activia yogurt and a bottle of water.

Lunch: Strawberries, turkey and cheese sandwich, diet green tea

Snack: 100 calorie shortbread snack and diet green tea

Dinner: baked Chicken breast and broccoli with cheese

I had a pretty normal day. I was pretty much on the go so I wasn't really hungry, but I ate to keep from getting a headache. My biggest challenge will more than likely come tomorrow and Wednesday. My boss usually gives us candy and other things as a thank you for the week. Unfortunately, I won't be able to eat any of it.  We'll see how I feel about that.
