We made it through the first day of the hunger challenge! Whew!
Granted, we're eating healthier - and less all around - so maybe I would have been hungry anyway, but, yeah. I was really sort of hungry yesterday. So much that I ate two little sweet pickles that weren't on the menu, but the cost was negligible and didn't bust our budget. Whew.
Dinner last night, though? 45 Cent Potato Soup. Muy satisfying. So there was that!
Here's our menu for today.

You'll notice we're not including beverages here. That's because, aside from coffee, we're drinking water for our beverages. It's healthy, it's got zero calories, and it's free!
