I had dinner planned but my friend asked me to meet her at her parents’ house to run so they could watch her baby. They invited me to stay for dinner. I was happy to. We had Mediterranean, which was nice because our menu is pretty basic this week. I thought I should maybe have seconds because it was good and free but knew I was full. I can definitely appreciate the mindset of getting it while the getting is good…
I was curious about the calories we were consuming… Day One came to about 1,473 and Day Two would have been very low with what I had planned for dinner coming only to 976. That would not be enough! So to be healthy and have enough calories on a food stamp budget appears to take serious planning…
