Finally Day 1!

Since I'm not going out tonight, today marks it as Day 1 without fast food! I did have a tea and a mini can of Pringles to tide me over, but I didn't go to Wendy's or anyplace else! I *so* wanted to. We went grocery shopping. I had a mini bagel before I left so I didn't go on an empty stomach. Well, by the time I was done shopping I was so hungry I was shaking. I wanted to go get Wendy's, but Geo said no. He's been a great help to me. We went to the meat market next where I picked up the chips and tea, and that held me over until I got home. So it's officially Day 1! Tomorrow should be easy since I'm going to try and volunteer. Thursday is going to be a challenge since Geo has physical therapy and we are going to be out and about. He can't do it when he's full, so I'm thinking of picking up some protein bars for him. This way he has something in his stomach afterward, and I'll eat something before. As it is, I'm making my lunch for tomorrow right now- black beans and rice. I know it's carbs, but it gets me through the day and is cheap. I would rather have the food in the cafeteria, but I need to watch my spending. Besides, food cooked at home is healthier than the cafeteria since I limit the salt, butter and so on. I just like plain rice with black beans and spices. Hopefully I can make it last all day. We just went to the store, but I don't want to run out of food. We have $25 of Geo's food stamps left and I get $90 on the 18th. That money, though, needs to go to hurricane supplies. We have a couple of cans from last year and a gallon of water, but that's a pittance as to what we need. So that's what's going on with me.
