Well yesterday I came home from work, ate an egg and a slice of bread, and pretty much passed out in my bed. I was going to take a nap around 7PM, and it was supposed to be a 30 minute nap. I woke up around 2 AM, shut all the lights off and went back to sleep. Hence, no blog entry. I find that I really lack energy throughout the day. However, its getting easier to resist the temptation to eat the food that I want to eat. I would have to say that's the hardest part of this whole experiment.
Unfortunately today I had to deviate from my experiment. Might as well be honest. I realized that I had a lunch meeting with my boss scheduled. I didn't want to look like a weirdo by not eating anything. It was a buffet style restaurant, so I ate the most minimum amount of food without looking anorexic. I had a few shreds of lettuce, a small amount of rice, and 1/4 cup of corn, and a fried oyster. Not to mention, I feel that I balanced my caloric intake by not eating anything else for the rest of the day, nor did I eat anything prior to. Funny thing is, I didn't feel hungry for the most part throughout the day.
My weight this morning was 158.6 lbs and tonight it was 158.4 lbs. So overall there was a net weight loss anyways.
Tomorrow I'll provide a break down of my caloric intake to see how much I'm actually eating every day.
Watch me spend only 50 cents per day for food in the month of February.
One upping random people on the internet.
I'll get right to it. I was greatly inspired by Evan's Hungry For a Month blog. Just to recap his journey, Evan restricted his food budget to $30 for the month of November, averaging out to a dollar a day for food. He did not consume any free food that may have been available to him at his job which made it more of a challenge. He did not include items such as coffee, sugar, salt, pepper (the type of stuff easily jackable from your local fast food joint). I feel it was a great undertaking and it taught him a lesson or two. I'm going to one-up Evan.
My food budget for the month of February will be $15, averaging to out 50 cents a day. Being a caffeine-aholic I'm going to keep coffee in the mix just like Evan did. I'll also keep the salt, pepper and ketchup as items available for free (not that I eat much of those things anyways). Any free food available to me at my job is also off-limits. This may be a problem.
Working at a refinery, there is an exorbitant amount of free food. We have lunch meetings, product vendors bring free food, and there is almost always food left over from other people's lunch meetings. But I also feel that I have an edge in this whole issue. Being a Muslim, I am required to undergo fasting in the month of Ramadaan. lasting for about 30 days, these fasts require that I do not eat or drink anything from dawn to dusk. Ramadaan was in October 2006, and I feel I did pretty good. It was a challenge, but I managed.
I am going to show that a 50 cent a day diet is very much possible, and even comfortable. Evan wrote in his blog that he did not really plan out his meals nor do any prior research. That's where I will also do things differently. I've already started to evaluate what foods are most cost effective.
One-upping Evan is not my only motivation. This experiment will also be conducted to show that using a proper budget and planning, even low income people can live comfortably. I will try my best to provide as much information as I can. Lets see how this goes.
