Monday, day 2 of the challenge

The belly rules the mind. ~Spanish Proverb

Hello fellow challengees. Yesterday was my daughter's 8th birthday...and I had only two bites of her cake! And, no ice cream. That would have been quite the luxery on a "fixed" income.

Today, I believe I may have used 1/2 of my food allowance on breakfast, which I suppose is not a bad thing health-wise, since it is advised to "eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper". This week, however, it will be more like all meals "like a pauper".

I had about 2 tablespoons of cottage cheese and a small necterine and about four bites of malt-o-meal. I'm guessing it adds up to about one dollar, so I'll be eating a light lunch and maybe just having a liquid dinner. I am planning a short workout at my YMCA tonight, so it will be interesting to see how that goes on a somewhat empty stomach. I hope grumpiness doesn't set in today - it's too early in the challenge!

Let me know how you are doing - I'd love to hear from you.

As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it. ~Buddy Hackett
