$2 a day: day fourteen

As this experiment moved forward I assumed the amount of posts would slow down to some extent because of the eventual monotony of what we’re doing is going to kick in. Today is day 14 and I weigh in again tomorrow. I’m not real sure how it will turn out, I could see anything from gaining a few pounds to dropping a few pounds, but I don’t foresee much of a sway either way.

I’m still extremely active. Usually on Sundays I play basketball from 4-6:30 pm or so but today I will pass on that. I have quite a bit of reading to catch up on in my philosophy courses and it’s by far the nicest day we’ve had here in the last 15-20. Right now it’s a whopping 41 degrees, feels like 36 says weather.com, but it feels amazing. I have the windows open in my apartment to try and air out the place.

As far as weight and whatnot, I feel good. I keep getting comments from people about how I already look slimmer, I feel slimmer, and from that respect I still feel really good about the experiment. However the monotony of the experiment is beginning to settle in. I really like the egg sandwiches, and I’m not at any time starving. I just would like more variety. I also can say I never thought I’d miss vegetables as much as I do, this diet defintiely lacks the fruits and vegetables.

I’m not down on the experiment, I plan on finishing it out. I imagine I’ll have more to write about in the last 10 days or so as I begin to see how things pan out as far as if I ever run low on foods and whatnot. Everything appears to be going solid though as far as portioning. The hamburger helper I just finished today, lasted me Wednesday through Sunday afternoon for something around 7-8 meals. I usually ate around a bowl and todays portion was a bit small so I made some buttered bread and I’m pretty full. I’ll be experimenting with the rice next.

Hopefully today I’ll get some more pictures up of my hamburger helper and my two latest receipts, and then I can post a running total of what I’ve spent tomorrow as I recap week two.
