Hi Friends!

Happy Wednesday! Welcome to day 2 of my SNAP Challenge adventure. Last night ended up with me being, surprise, hungry. Not pictured in my post yesterday was the excessive amount of peanut butter I ate after I came home from dress rehearsal. Yay for theatre. I slept great though. Now onto day 2.

BREAKFAST

I woke up STARVING. Like so hungry. Not pictured, me dreaming about hashbrowns. Anyways, I cooked two packages of apple cinnamon oatmeal, because I’m a rebel. I also had my coffee. And I may or may not have had more peanut butter. I may just turn into a peanut.

LUNCH

I introduce you to the lunch I had all of high school: whole wheat bread, turkey breast, cheddar cheese, and spinach. I don’t really like any condiments on my sandwiches, not sure why, so it was dry. It was pretty filling, but I definitely chugged some water in order to supplement. A positive about this experience is the fact that I am drinking a ton more water. I am really bad about drinking water, I’m pretty sure I wander around life 90 percent of the time dehydrated. It also helps with the hunger and to keep me from dreaming about In N Out.

DINNER

Yay for rehearsal again. Tonight was the final dress for the first show of the semester that I’m designing, so once again I had dinner on the go. I made pasta with tomato sauce and tossed some cheese in at the end. It was very filling, and as I am writing this, I am still full. Overall, today was a pretty successful day, and I hope tomorrow will be just as awesome! Until then, TTFN!

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.
