Day #3 Hump Day

So today is number three of the food stamp challenge and here is my menu:

Breakfast

-Toast

Lunch

-Sandwich and Crackers

Dinner

-Soup and Sandwich

Here is one thing I am noticing about living on this low budget. I notice that I am planning out what I am eating more and it is not as exciting. I may be craving steak, but this is what I am getting because this is what I have budgeted for. That is just the reality and I am working on accepting this. Today I ate a lot of carbohydrates, which is more carbs than I usually intake. The foods that are high in carbs have been low in price so that is what I purchased. Also today, I was a little disappointed. A group of my friends were going out to lunch and I had to decline this offer, because my budget does not cover this. This was not fun to do, but I continue to remind myself that this is the challenge.
