End of Week 2

So for day 5 on of last week we were out of town. Paul took the FSOT in DC (we have to wait 4-6 weeks to find out whether he continues in the process or not- lame!) and so we spent Thursday driving, Friday hanging out at his cousin's house and Saturday driving.
On Thursday we had breakfast (oatmeal) and then we ate a total of 3 sandwiches on the way up- no extra snacks for us and then ate dinner at Paul's awesome cousin Charisse's house. Friday was all food provided to us by our gracious hosts and then (and this was a bummer) we remembered that we were signed up to fast on Saturday for our Ward (church)'s 40-day fast for missionary work. Let me tell you, fasting while on a car trip is HARD! My milk supply was pretty dismal so I didn't fast as long as I usually do and broke down and ate a banana I snagged from Charisse's house for Pearl. Is that pathetic? Taking fruit from a baby? I guess it's not like she didn't have other food and she doesn't even like bananas.

Day 5: Breakfast ($0.50)
Lunch ($0.90)
Dinner ($0.00)
Total: ($1.40)

Day 6 Total $0.00

Day 7 Total $0.00


WEEK 2 TOTAL: $19.30 or $2.76/day

I fully recognize that a lot of this was due to the fact that we had free food for a day and a half and didn't eat for another day. Does that make me feel less proud? No. That's because even if you only count us as eating 4.5 days last week, we still averaged $4.29 which is less than the $4.50 a day we need to maintain to only spend $30 a week- even with that horrendous day! Way to go, us!
