Not much to blog about today. I do find it funny though, that now when the grocery ads come, I find myself looking more at the fruits and vegetables on sale than other items. I’ve come to realize that eating healthier foods does mean you have to trim back in some other areas due to the cost involved. Not that it’s breaking the bank, but it does contribute to my getting excited when certain fruits we buy consistently are on sale.
This experiment has caused me to share some of the grocery shopping responsibilities now though. I realized I’m only good to buy the basics for the home and then some of the easier fruits, like apples, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and sweet potatoes. Much of the abnormal fruits and vegetables I leave to my wife who has a better eye for them than I do. I just spend too much time handling avocados with no luck in figuring out which one is best and often get strange looks when I ask people’s opinions on their fruit selections.
I’ve also realized that I get too overwhelmed looking at yogurt options. Yogurt is not a food I enjoy and my least favorite thing is trying to figure out which ones to buy if my family asks me to get some. Do they really need that many yogurt options in the world? This has led me to just leave some money aside for Stephanie to find the best deals on fruit and go crazy.
What I ate today
The goal tomorrow is to hit the gym in the morning, but it will be a busy day so let’s see if I make it happen.
Onward to day eighteen!

What I ate today
- It struck me that I’ve eaten the same breakfast for seventeen days now and it really hasn’t phased me that much. I have found that I’m eating smaller portions now then when I started out, which is true for every meal, not just breakfast.
- Lunch has the same issue. I’ve lived on a salad of some sort for the past seventeen days.
- Dinner is where I get my variety though, so it works out. Tonight was Teriyaki chicken chunks over a bed of rice with a mix of sweet peppers. I also had a portion of cottage cheese with the meal, just to jazz it up a bit. I don’t turn to cottage cheese that often, but it’s something I enjoy in small irregular portions.
