Happy Tuesday aka the best weekly holiday in San Diego, Taco Tuesday!!!
Pooh Bear= Me every Tuesday. But anyways, this also coincided with day 1 of the SNAP Challenge. It was a pretty good day, except for the fact that I just ate dinner and am already hungry.
BREAKFAST
This is actually my favorite breakfast ever. Like ever. It is two eggs, scrambled with olive oil, salt, pepper, spinach, and lots of cheese. It keeps me full and happy until lunch. I also always have my coffee with vanilla creamer. I have a pour over coffee filter so I can make a hot cup of coffee for myself. It is a dream come true.
LUNCH
So this was a mental dilemma for me. I volunteer as a committee member for the Associated Students Organization at USD. I am responsible to making sure that student organizations receive money for events, and as payment for my time, I get provided lunch every Tuesday. It is hard because I don’t really think it would be considered a “free” meal, since it is payment for my time. I know that many people who are on this program don’t have the opportunity to receive food like this, which definitely gave me a chance to reflect on my own privilege. This is the only time this will happen during this process.
DINNER
Did someone say dinner? Tonight I have a dress rehearsal for a show I costume designed for, so I had to pack my dinner togo. The mutilated mess on the left is chicken breast in a little bit of barbecue sauce. I pan fried it and it was salty pieces of awesome. The pasta is buttered noodles: literally pasta with salt, pepper, olive oil, and butter (thanks mom). I also roasted asparagus in the oven with olive oil and seasonings and it is the bomb.com. I’ll be posting the recipe for my roasted veggies soon.
After day one, I feel pretty good. I drank more water today and feel good! I stopped feeling hungry while writing this. Let’s hope my fullness holds over until tomorrow morning! Until then, stay tuned for day two.
