Challenge for today: You have a nasty cold. Purchase some items to curb the symptoms.
Off to the dollar store I went. My comforts for when I have a cold are tea and honey, and sea salt for gargling salt water and my Neti Pot. $6.50 for all of this today. I have to admit, I have had a headache for the last two days (probably the result of no sugar or caffeine!) I am quite excited to have tea and honey tonight!
Breakfast today was apple pie oatmeal (yesterday's meal made four servings) and hot lemon water. For lunch I had two boiled eggs with peppers, carrots and dip, blueberries and strawberries, yogurt and water. Dinner was the same as last night, leftover chicken (I didn't eat the entire chicken breast last night), two chicken wings, and salad with peppers, carrots and balsamic dressing. I also had a class of water.
Today is our Soup Day at work. Several staff each week take turns making soup for staff. The staffroom smelled so good today, and I was a little sad that I couldn't try the scrumptious smelling soups (I couldn't afford to take it out of my budget). I smelled each one several times!
Participants have been asked to attempt to stay within a social assistance benefits’ budget. The challenger’s budget of $63 for five days includes all food and drink, entertainment, some personal supplies and transportation costs. Each participant will be given a daily challenge card, which will reveal an additional challenge to be completed before the end of each day. The challenge takes place February 10th until February 15th, 2019.
