So we have not gone hungry this week and I feel that we had some balanced meals.  We are eating leftovers tonight because we used up the turkey on our sandwhiches and ran out of milk so no turkey tetrazzini, which I have been looking forward to.  I did not realized just how long a one pound bag of red beans could last but glad we had it this week.  I am also use to planning meals and eating left overs but not used to having to stick to the menu plan with no room to change.  I am also not used to eating so many beans!

I am missing fresh fruit, although we did have some this week but not as much as I am used to.  I am missing fresh veggies. Other than carrots and the few tomatoes we had in the garden, I don't think we had any leafy greens. 

I realized this week just how much I snack.  Not to eat because I am hungry but out of boredom.  Kind of embarassing to think about.

Shelby did better than I thought she would, although I am not sure how much she understood what we were doing or just thought I was being mean.
