Is it Ground Hog day again? Things are getting repetitive quickly - and it's not just the weather.
Day 4 started out with two hard boiled eggs, and later in the morning a container of Chobani yogurt. And of course my lovely Dunkin' Donuts coffee!
| Breakfast | Quantity | Cost | Calories |
| eggs | 2 | $0.59 | 150 |
| Yogurt, greek | 1 | $1.79 | 140 |
| coffee | 3 | $0.28 | 14 |
| $2.66 | 304 |
Lunch, however, was Ground Hog Day - peanut butter and banana sub again. And more coffee.

On the way home from work I stopped at Dover Discount again and stocked up on some interesting items.
| Sugar, Dominos, 4lbs | $3.99 |
| Flour, gold medal, 2lbs | $2.99 |
| oregano | $1.99 |
| chicken breast, canned, 13 oz | $3.49 |
| baking powder, 13 oz | $3.38 |
| Beer, Budweiser 6 pack cans | $5.00 |
I've got a little plan for some of that stuff. And it isn't tying one on. One doesn't buy Budweiser to drink it. Even when one is in a food desert. I'll leave you in suspense - maybe I'll make use of it tomorrow.
Dinner was more redux - pasta and sauce, and the rest of the peas and corn. But what a wonderful thing Frank's Hot Sauce is. I always liked spicy things when I was a kid, but when I joined the Army I truly came to appreciate how versatile hot sauce actually is. Somewhere along the way I made the transition from Tabasco to Frank's. I was very pleased to see Frank's on the shelf at Circle K the other day.
| Dinner | Quantity | Cost | Calories |
| macaroni | 3 | $0.47 | 300 |
| spaghetti sauce | 1 | $0.34 | 60 |
| Corn, canned | 1 | $0.76 | 67 |
| Peas, canned | 1 | $0.66 | 67 |
| Frank's Hot Sauce | 1 | $0.07 | 1 |
| $2.23 | 495 |
I expected repetition in the diet. I suppose we all get into a rut. And part of my problem is building a pantry, since there just isn't very much out there that is healthy. It's coming together slowly.
Day totals:
Cost: $7.72
Calories: 1,608
Weight: 172.6
Exercise: I walked for an hour on the treadmill. I'll get final exercise calories tomorrow, but right now it's at 418.
