New week, same goals – but at least I have a better understanding of what I’m up against. Today was successful, thanks to a kind and generous boyfriend. Not only did I get a free, home-cooked breakfast, but he also paid for my drinks at trivia that evening, which is an expense I’m loathe to give up.
I ate lunch and dinner in the comfort of my apartment. A bowl of cereal and soy milk held me over most of the day, and I was able to incorporate produce from my market trip the week before into dinner: I made lettuce wraps filled with sticky rice and sauteed shrimp. I had the rice, shrimp, onions, cilantro and seasonings on hand, and I really liked how I was able to to use the lettuce in things other than just salad.
Overall damage: $0. Yay, $0!
What I could have saved on: I think this is a example of a good day, but I have to realize that it won’t be everyday that the boyfriend can treat me to a meal and drinks.
