A classic hoarding of expired food. 3 years past expiration date. My fathers cupboards are constantly filled with “bargain bin sale” food which are already expired on purchase. Then they further decompose in the pantry.

Food Miser

Today was the first FULL day of " restricted" intake.  I actually ate quite well - I'm not hungry at all at the end of the day, however I spent the day worrying that I would become hungry.  I feel like I'm already starting to behave like a food hoarder. 

First of all, at work today we had a lobby day where we handed out fruit cups to the clients that came in.  The fruit cups were made from canned pineapple chunks and frozen blueberries.  While I was making the fruit cups, I actually poured out the pineapple juice (made with water and splenda so only 40 kcals per cup) to save/drink instead of just draining into the sink like I normally might.  We also had about a half a can of pineapple chunks leftover after making all of the fruit cups and I took these (otherwise would have been discarded) to use in a fruit smoothie tomorrow.  At lunch when I told people about this SNAP challenge I found myself saying "so if anyone has any coupons they want to throw my way..."  One of my co-workers gave me several creative ways to reduce expenses for the sake of this project [e.g., tie a string around a quarter and re-insert it into a newspaper dispenser (do those even exist anymore?) to get the weekly coupons without paying the full price for the paper; he gave me additional suggestions for some humorous but illegal methods of food procurement that I won't be considering anytime soon]. 

The girls at work noted that they went to get Ice Cream at "The Cup" in Bethlehem and I immediately thought "I should go to Vegan Treats for some soft serve" and quickly remembered that this would not be happening for some time, given the restrictions I've imposed upon myself. 

Despite my fear of not having enough food and my moments of feeling deprived, overall the day went well and I feel the meals and snacks I ate were substantial (Generic Chex w/Almond milk, Coffee, Leftover Rice & Beans, Pineapple Juice, Banana & Peanut Butter, More Almond Milk, and Breaded Eggplant w/Pasta from Isa Does It).  I haven't done the nutrient analysis on this yet, but my best guess is that the caloric intake was more than adequate. 

On the exercise front I did end up getting 6000+ steps in yesterday.  Today, I jumped on the stationary bike for 30 minutes and did a little walking at the farmers market and again with the dogs.  One of the patient care technicians at my job also got an UP Jawbone and joined my "team" - my boss is thinking about getting on board with the Jawbone as well.  Solidarity people!  It's a great motivator.
