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!!

It's My Birthday!!!! No cake for me :(

Go to fullsize image  It's my birthday today!! I am 24 years old. Too bad I won't be able to get any cake.  I had to talk to my friends about waiting until the challenge is over to celebrate so I can join in all the activities.  They understood and I am going to have the time of my life......OK back to the reason I'm blogging.

This morning, I woke up to do my normal walk in the local park.  After walking 3 miles there, I was extremely hungry. The last meal I had yesterday evening was chicken breast along with broccoli.  Now I am a little tired of eating that. All I wanted was a few chicken minis from Chik-fil-A. I knew I couldn't have it, so I went home, showered, and had a bowl of strawberries.  Today is a pretty busy day for me.  Usually, when I have a lot of errands to run, it is so convenient to just stop and pick up lunch in between time.  Unfortunately, this week, I haven't been able to do so.  I will talk later about how my day is going and how I felt not being able to pick up lunch.

  3. So sorry about your birthday!

    Hey, I walk/run in Freeman park every morning! In fact my backyard backs into the park! What a small world. What time do you go.

    Oops, you said Bartlett Park didn't you. I go to Freeman park on Bartlett Blvd. Still a small world.
