Day 4 and I'm still alive!

Okay, really, this is not as hard as I imagined at the onset.  After the first day I thought this challenge would starve me to death, but since I have been on this now for almost four days I am actually doing well and I suspect I will have food left over if I do not increase my meals.

First let me tell you, I have learned you can soak beans for a long, long time and apparently they are still good.  My chicken stew has lasted and is going strong and is quite tasty.  I have enought to last through this challenge with some to spare!

I also had $1.69 left from my original $20.00 (once I realized I did not have to buy butter with that $20) so I headed to Fiest last night to live it up.  Once I got there the cookies, two for $1.00, really caught my attention but I thought of being "healthy" so I settled on two wonderful apples for $1.00.  This left me with $0.69 so I think tomorrow I will celebrate the ending of this challenge with a diet coke and slide into the finish with $0.04 remaining.

So today I started with my normal two eggs, cheese and milk for breakfast, I brought a hard boiled egg to work for a snack and went home for a quick Ramen noodle soup breakfast.  It is now about 5pm and I am really not hungry but know I have a baked potato waiting for me for dinner with some stew if I am still in need.  I do not think I will be hungry after the baked potato but, darn, I have a lot of stew left to eat so will probably do a small bowl.  Tomorrow I still have eggs and milk left, one pack of Ramen noodles and stew so I should finish this challenge not hungry but with a much higher level of understanding and respect for the challenge that a majority of our friends face every day
