$2 a day: day thirty

Posted by STEVEmcfly on February 13, 2008

Well I’m about to the end, I weighed in Monday morning for my own knowledge but since this is a short week and I’m about done I’m going to wait til Thursday morning when everything is said and done to post my final weight.

I am running low on food but I have plenty to eat today. I won’t go through all the pancake mix but should eat all the ramen, turkey, eggs, and may have a slice or two of bread left. The butter is about gone and the mayonnaise is a little under half left. I’ve been working on eating peanut butter randomly and it’s around 1/3 left.

I feel good, but I am glad this is going to come to an end. I’m getting real excited on what I’m going to attempt here again starting on Monday and right now I plan to give everyone a little background on what I want to do.

The meal plan I begin on Monday will be similar in the fact that I’m going to be eating the 5-6 regular meals a day, only I’m going to be eating a lot lot lot more fruits and vegetables. I plan to buy heads of lettuce and break them up for salads which I’ll put things like carrots, imitation crab meat, and light dressing on. I will be buying plenty of yogurt (even though it pains me to pay something like $0.50 a cup), and there’s a discount bread store not far away that they sell loaves of semi-old Sara Lee bread for $0.75 a loaf. I still plan on things remaining relatively cheap, but the difference will be I’ll be intaking more calories, a lot more protein, and much more variety in my meals.

I’ll have a comprehensive post coming on Thursday as to how I feel about the entire experiment, my weight, and more of the changes that are coming with my meal plan beginning the following Monday.
