Day 13, 14 & 15

Day 14 – Friday, May 14
Morning:  Oatmeal with soy milk.

Afternoon:  There was a bug going around my house this week, and I guess my turn came on Friday and Saturday.  I was not feeling well at all so I ate a muffin, and slept for an hour on my lunch break.  Later in the afternoon, I ate the baked beans with jalapenos I had brought for lunch.

Evening:  I got groceries on my way home from work, and had olives, cucumber, and hummus for dinner.

I had started using the following items earlier in the week:

• Gardein Chick’n Scallopini (half package) $2.50
• Soy milk $2.79
• Sliced almonds $2.39
• 3 bananas $0.75
• Top Ramen, Oriental flavor $1.50

I got these things from Albertsons:

• 1 lb dry pinto beans $1.49
• mixed nuts $3.99
• 1 can black olives $1
• frozen blueberries $3.49
• 4 bananas $1.19
• green onions $0.89
• 1 roma tomato $0.31
• 1 package firm tofu $1.69
• 2 pears $0.75
• 1 bunch red leaf lettuce $0.99
• 1 cucumber $0.99
• garlic hummus $2.99

Total: $28.20

Obviously that’s more than the $21/week I was aiming for, but remember that I switched my budget to $84 per month.  That leaves me $14.22 for week four.

Day 15 – Saturday, May 15
Morning:  Oatmeal with soy milk.

Afternoon:  Still not feeling well, and didn’t have time to prepare lunch after work the night before.  I had a bowl of Top Ramen, with a package of red pepper I got from my co-workers pizza.  For someone who was already nauseous, I sure did eat a lot of spicy food.

Evening:  I made blueberry muffins after work.  For dinner, I had a muffin and salad with red leaf lettuce, olives, and Greek dressing.

Still a little behind on posts, but I promise to catch up very soon with a post about my day at WorldFest!
