This morning featured oatmeal (again), but lunch was great because I had 4(yikes) pieces of avocado toast with salt and pepper. If I had to eat one thing forever, that might be it – seriously, try it if you never have. That was not only incredibly filling, but a great mood booster as well. For dinner I polished off my spaghetti and kale.

I feel like I am lagging in energy this week because of my diet. I hope I haven’t been too grumpy with my friends and family but wouldn’t be surprised if I have! I also don’t think my diet has been very realistic for somebody that would actually be on SNAP, but I think it’s been good to illustrate how difficult it is to eat a nutritional and clean diet on this budget. I feel like all I’ll want to eat for the next week are green vegetables and some decent smoothies.
A lot of people have asked me about the challenge because of the blog, so it’s been a great way to lend visibility to HHAW week and the SNAP challenge in general. Many of my friends and family have expressed interest in trying it sometime in the future, and I’m excited that the publicity has had the desired effect. It’s also been really important to recognize in tough moments that I’m a) almost done, and b) that I’m grateful to have a great personal support system and the ability to even do something like this.
I can’t lie though, I’m incredibly happy that I only have one day left!
