Sasha's Final Thoughts

Hi!
I have missed a few days worth of posting, but it was for KITTENS!!
I had an awesome breakfast on Sunday. Guess what it was. Yes, WAFFLES! After waffles we went to City Hall to listen to a discussion about poverty. For me to sit on a couch for two hours, wasn't exactly fun for me, and afterwards my stomach hurt because I ate a lot after eating a little for days.

The challenge overall was surprisingly normal. Not much changed, just less food everyday. Now that we are back to normal, I think everyday in my head about the challenge. I remember everything I learned, and everything I was able to teach others. And every night, I have the same nightmare, of being on welfare. That would suck! People, wake up and RAISE THE RATES!!!

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog, because now that the challenge is over, I won't be posting. It has been fun to write, and I hope fun for you to read. That's all folks!
Signing off for the last time,

Sasha's thoughts. Day Six

Hello folks!

Today was pretty awesome! Pro-D at school today, so I had most of my meals at club. Breakfast was oatmeal, but dad poured WAY to much milk in and it was really gross! Lunch was soup and coleslaw, from home. Dinner was pasta and sauce, at home.

Seeing as tomorrow is THE LAST DAY!!! I have really been reflecting on the challenge. Not only have I learned a perspective from a person on welfare, but experienced a week of home-made treats, gross breakfasts, and after-school-dinners. It has definitely been a week to remember!

I can't wait for breakfast on Sunday morning! We are going out to The Whip, and I am looking forward to waffles! (I still want waffles, especially after this morning!)

That's all for tonight! A filling Friday it was today, and can't wait to share my Scrumptious Saturday tomorrow!

Sasha's Thoughts Day Four+Five

Hi!

Sorry I have neglected to post! I have had a very nice menu for two days, though:

Wednesday:

Breakfast was oatmeal, and an egg. Lunch was egg salad and dinner was leftover bean-cabbage-rice stuff.

Thursday:

Breakfast was oatmeal, and an egg. ( Yes, again) Lunch was soup and coleslaw and it was another night I stay late after school at club for preteen night, so that's where I got dinner. It was pretty good!!

                                        

Tomorrow is a Pro-D day, so I will be at club all day, but they only supply snack late afternoon, so I still get my family's dinner, lunch and breakfast. Tomorrow being Friday, afterwards is the last day of the challenge! Sunday we are going out for breakfast!

I will keep you posted!

Sasha's Thoughts. Day Three.

Hi folks!
Day three rolled around today. Meals were oatmeal (But better than last time!) for breakfast, and soup for lunch. Dinner was at my after-school-club, because Tuesday and Thursday I stay late for programs. Tonight's dinner was mac and cheese with salad. Mini muffins and "Veggie Cookies" stood in as snacks, plus an apple in my lunch.
Other than that, there isn't much else. Before the challenge I thought I would starve and be super hungry 24/7 all week. I'm not even that hungry, and when I get hungry, I set my mind on distracting things like homework or dad's hokey game on the computer.
Today was a Tasty Tuesday! I can't really think of anything for Wednesday, but I know it will be tasty too!
I will be sure to fill you in on my tasty details of our week!

Sasha's thoughts Day Two

Hi.
Today was the first day of school while doing the challenge. It was also my student-conference today. When I told my teacher about the challenge, she seemed pretty interested in the subject of spending $54 on food all week. She said it would spark conversation on how much we eat and how often we go out for dinner, and the challenge has done just that for me. I am going to present this blog sometime to my class. This will be interesting for them to read.
Breakfast was better today: Homemade bread with peanut butter. Much better! (Still want waffles! :[ )
Lunch was egg salad sandwich and Dinner was beans and cabbage and rice. Today was a munchy Monday!

I will be sure to keep you posted on my Welfare Week Challenge!

Sasha's Thoughts. Day One

Hi again!
The first day went like this:

Me: Whats for breakfast?
Mom: Oatmeal with raisins.

That was a nice wake-up.
I actually forgot the challenge started today, which is surprising since me and my family have been talking about the challenge since late September.
Lunch was Fries and Scrambled Eggs (With celery) and Dinner was Vegetable Soup. A few bite sized muffins lasted as snacks for the day. It was actually pretty normal, except mom was in the kitchen all day, prepping food for the week. At least it was better than shopping in the rain.

School starts tomorrow, and I really can't wait to see how tiny my lunch is. (Sarcasm) Also, another "cheat" has come up in my favour. I get one herbal tea of my choice from our cupboard for drinking over the week. I chose a fruity berry, because it was that or peach. I prefer berry. Speaking of cheats, and school tomorrow, I get my after school snack at after school club.

It surprised me how normal today was, and if this keeps up, it will actually be a pretty normal week, just less food. I will keep you posted on my view of the challenge for the rest of the week. Can't wait for more oatmeal tomorrow! (I really want some waffles :[ )

Sasha's first thoughts

Hi! This is Sasha and my perspective of the challenge as a kid. I do go to an after school club, so I will get snacks there, but other than that I'm really excited to get into this challenge! :) Me and my family have been talking about the challenge since late September, and how we're using a few cheats, such as the jar of pickled cukeamelons I got from moms friend as a gift that I can eat over the week. I love doing challenges with my family, especially when it has to do with awareness or green cities. Today we drove around for a long time, in the rain. We went to five stores, in the rain. It was a lot of fun though. As I write this all our stuff is on the table behind me, and it looks like what we usually get for like maybe five days. My family has never done this challenge before, so I'm happy to be part of the first time! It has already been fun. I hope it stays that way! Tomorrow the challenge starts for real, so we are having a nice dinner tonight. I can't wait for plain oatmeal with cinnamon tomorrow! (Sarcasm) That's a wrap for tonight!
