Saturday, March 7

I have found this much easier to follow the diet this time. I think there are two reasons:

1. It is easier to by food for 2 people on $6 a day than for 1 person on $3 a day.
2. My wife can find much better deals than I can!

Even though it is easier, this experience still challenges me.
- I miss the taste of my favorite foods
- I miss being able to eat whenever I want, whatever I want.
- I quickly forget how much of my life revolves around eating
- I am really thankful I do not have to live this way all the time! I am grateful to God for the abundance that I have.

Tuesday's food

Yesterday, Kenda found a 5 pound bag of potatoes for $2.29 at Tom Thumb and a 3 pound bag of applies for $1.99. This is much easier with two people than with one person.

Here is today's food
breakfast: oatmeal
lunch: peanut butter sandwich and apple
dinner: baked potatoes with chili

Food/Drink at work

The question has been posted about partaking of free food and drink at work. I think it is fine to eat or drink what is provided at work. I'm not too legalistic about this, the point is the not rules, the point is the experience.

I do wish we had "Be Our Guest" at our church this week. We could all volunteer to be table hosts!

Monday
