I went shopping today and spent $113.53 which is a little high but I bought some extra meat because it was on special. Just goes to show that when you can, you do…
Oh well… we’ll work out where to next at some point.
Now that the challenge is finished (and I’ll say over as I won’t eat between now and midnight) I thought I would share some closing remarks. But first I’ll start with a photo of the food left over from my shopping through out the week.
Read on for the rest… Read more…
Day seven has come, and almost gone, and was a full day of running around. I had my last two pears whilst out and about; they’re so portable, edible, and cheap at the moment. Even though today is the last day, I didn’t have anything special, except the jelly. But enough blather… Read more…
I did some more shopping today, the photo is after the jump, so now I’m down to $0.95 remaining. Someone suggested I have 3 soft serve cones. No thanks.
Today was relatively active, relatively, we dug a hole at the beach. Moving around 7 cubic meters of sand. That was fairly exerting. And also rather enjoyable. I also got adventurous with the food prep for dinner. I still have a left over spaghetti bolognese from Day 4 – so I’d like to officially announce that the cat is in the bag.

End of the working week has arrived. And everyone goes woohoo. As I predicted last night I was over the “being over it” this morning.

We had BBQ at home tonight with people around so the challenge was to have something for dinner that was “barbequable” which was totally possible. Read more…
Before we start today I’d like to say: I am now passed the half way point! But I am still flying relatively blind as too what people think of meal size and RDI quantities. There is still some time left to adjust the amounts so please let the comments flow. But for now: On with the show…
Today has been the day of I’m over it; which was bound to happen; and will certainly pass by tomorrow. It is really just culinary boredom… but sometimes we have to stick at things we don’t totally love so I’ll just keep eating my way through the week. Read more…
Today was all about “the spirit of the challenge”. There were plenty of opportunities to deviate with out really breaking rules: e.g. I was in Wollongong last night and this morning; and in the spirit of the challenge I did not use the “work pays” excuse to get food – but instead took my own food.
