Running out of food!

The thing that we have noticed most about the food that we have been eating since Friday is the lack of variety in both flavour and texture. Most of what we got in the box is bland, salty, soft and mushy, quite a combination. A. has had to drop out on the 4th day of the challenge because she is allergic to wheat and with the bread, pasta, muffins, and cookies her health was starting to suffer. J. will try to hang in for one more day. He often has oats for breakfast and he will use the leftovers from tonight’s supper of rice, mushroom soup and canned green beans for lunch tomorrow. After that the food will be pretty well gone.
We both found that the diet gave us headaches and now that J. is back at work he is finding it hard to keep focused, particularly at the end of the day. Also, even though it felt like we were eating enough it never seemed that we were satisfied by the meals. Maybe it was the lack of variety or the absence of fresh food. A. supplemented our meal on Sunday by picking dandelion greens and created one of the more satisfying meals that we have had.
Here is a list of what we have left:
1 baggie of instant coffee
2 tea bags
1 baggie of white sugar
Less than 1/4 baggie of instant oats
1 can of tomato paste
tub of margarine
1/4 box of crackers
2 wieners
2 eggs
1 boxes of macaroni and cheese
Part of a box of bran cereal
1 package of cookies
1/4 loaf of bread
