Day 5

I've been getting headaches lately. I had one yesterday and one all day today. I don't think I've been drinking enough water. Also, I think the pure carb diet is sending my body into shock. I'm planning a trip to Food 4 Less to see if I can afford some veggies and/or fruit.

Today, I switched things up and had some rice for dinner. It was definitely a nice change and rice is so inexpensive, that you can eat a lot. I had a cup at 7 pm, and ate more when I came home from the grocery store (with a small serving of broccoli). I ended up going to the store after dinner to purchase more ramen for the weekend. At the store, I scored a bag of frozen broccoli for $0.98, powdered juice mix for $0.98, and 5 packs of chili ramen for $0.20/each. (I will post the receipt tomorrow morning)

Overall, I ate less today than yesterday and was less hungry. I had oatmeal for breakfast, pb&j for lunch, and about 2 servings of rice for dinner with a small portion of broccoli. I also had candy hearts and a mini-candy bar from the free stash in the classroom. I think I'd have a much harder time following this diet if it weren't for the free food along the way!

Here is what I spent on food today:

oatmeal- $.014

pb&j- $0.32

rice -$0.14

broccoli -$0.10

powdered juice - $0.04

total- $0.74
