Went to bed late after pestering my wife for an hour on the phone - because I was jazzed up on good food, good conversation, and a bit too much after dinner coffee. Woke up not quite as jazzed, but unable to sleep, probably for the same reason. So went down stairs and made myself a small indulgence - an omelet with ham, cheese, and onions.

Lunch was just some quick PB&J sandwiches because I was working, and I was actually heading towards a crash - I was so tired. I'm glad it was a Saturday.
| Lunch | Quantity | Cost | Calories |
| bread, wheat | 4.00 | $0.52 | 266 |
| peanut butter | 1.00 | $0.27 | 180 |

After lunch I made it through a couple of articles I was reviewing, and then I really did crash. I napped for about two hours. When I got up it was time to start thinking about dinner.
My folks were making pizza (jealous! I have yet to find yeast in any of the convenience stores I have gone to - though plenty of nasty frozen pizza), so I was on my own.Actually, we've eaten almost no meals together this month, so that's not like it's something new. I grabbed a bag of honey roasted peanuts ($0.50; 230) and headed out to get some more supplies.
I thought I would go to the Tedeschi in downtown Dover, rather than the one on 108 that I normally go to. As I was heading there, I passed by Smiley's Discount Beverage and realized I hadn't tried them out yet.
Smiley's has a nice selection of beer and wine. And it has the standard milk, (some) bread, and eggs. And a few cans of this and that. But it's not Tedeschi, which hands down has been the best convenience store for me this month.
I did score a 5 oz can of white chicken for $1.29 which was a pretty good deal, considering I haven't seen a similar sized can of tuna for less than $1.99. That will be lunch some time in the next couple of days. And it really is only a couple more days! Three to be exact. This diet has been a pain the butt.
I went off to Tedeschi after visiting Smiley's because I still needed a few things for dinner, and I was out of bread.
For dinner I decided to have baked pasta again, and ate half a can of corn.
| Dinner | Quantity | Cost | Calories |
| macaroni | 3.00 | $0.47 | 310 |
| sauce | 1.00 | $0.34 | 60 |
| olive oil | 0.33 | $0.35 | 40 |
| mozzarella | 1.70 | $0.89 | 118 |
| coffee | 3.00 | $0.28 | 7 |
| corn, canned | 1.00 | $0.65 | 90 |
| $2.97 | 625 |
I know today wasn't the healthiest day, and it followed on the least healthy day of the diet, but that's what happens when you lose focus I suppose. It takes time to recover.
I picked up a can of garbanzo beans at Tedeschi - I was pretty excited about that. But what to do with them? I don't have my usual spices. Certainly no tahini. Stay tuned to find out!
