How can you afford this?

Today I realized that Ironman training is expensive, but not for the reason you think. Yes, equipment, race fees and travel are a lot, but the most expensive is the area you don't think about. Food. Holy crap. Just my training nutrition is burning a hole in my pocket. I have gone through 48 gels in the last 3 weeks. I just ordered 48 more. I should have started collecting them in the race on Sunday, then I could have a lot of them right now. lol. Then on top of that, I have to buy regular food. My last resort is what I eat almost every night. Oatmeal. It is cheap and quick to make. I have gone through an entire canister in the last month. It seems like I never have any food at home because once I do buy food, it is gone in 3 days. I need to set up automatic delivery or something because who really has time to go grocery shopping 3 days a week. I have definately seen a huge increase in my food budget these past few months, but more so this last month with the huge increase in training time. I can't imagine how next month will be. August won't be as bad, I hope, because I will be tapering for most of the month. I will have to take some time off of training just so I can save money on food, lol. Maybe I should pick up a second job to cover it, lol. All this talk about food is making me hungry. Darn it.
