Weight 171.2

I weighed in 2.4 pounds heavier yesterday, since my previous weigh-in two weeks ago. This week, Sunday through Saturday, I'm taking the SNAP (formerly called food stamps) Challenge, where you eat on $30 a week. I'm eating some cheap foods that I really enjoy, but usually don't eat because of the high calories, e.g., PBJ sandwiches (28 cents and 410 calories each; should really eat just peanut butter sandwiches for 18 cents and 310 calories; the jelly adds not one bit of nutrients, just calories and taste), Banquet TV dinners (got these on sale for 68 cents apiece! I always thought they were high in calories, but 4 of the 5 different ones I bought had 250 calories, the same as the Lean Cuisines I usually buy on sale for $2), and Ramen noodles (15 cents and 370 calories). It's not at all difficult to eat on $30 a week, although most of the people doing it are blogging about how difficult it is because they want their organic fruits and vegetables, soy milk, etc.
