You might not realize it with all the stuff I’ve given up for my experiment, but I actually hit a different milestone this month also. This is the first time I maintained a daily blog revolving around a specific topic for a month. Sure I’ve always enjoyed writing, but this has helped me realize that daily blogging is a tough gig. How do I keep it interesting for you, the reader, and how do I keep thinking of fresh topics. The last thing I wanted was for my blog to be like my breakfast, just the same thing over and over every day. Hopefully you’ve enjoyed reading some of them.
Today I realized something good and bad at the same time. The good thing is that our entire family has shifted toward eating more fruit in their daily diet, “yay for change”. The bad thing is that we go through a lot of fruit in our house now and that stuff can be a little pricey. In fact, this is the first time in close to a year that we’ve run out of apples in the fridge. It’s a strange feeling that I can’t open the fridge and grab an apple. The bright side is that fruit season is almost upon us and the sales will begin to save us some money.

Onward to day twenty-nine!

What I ate today
- Small bit of Eggs and Kielbasa before heading to the gym for the 8th time this month. (High five for hitting my gym visit goal!)
- A banana while I tried to figure out what I wanted for lunch.
- For lunch I had probably the unhealthiest meal I’ve eaten this entire month, but it didn’t have flour or sugar in it. I purposefully have avoided white potatoes and leaned more toward sweet potatoes due to the higher fiber content. Today I found a bag of crinkle cut fries in the freezer and decided to bake them up. I put a decent sized portion on a plate, covered it with cheddar cheese, ground beef, and some leftover spicy chicken chunks and I was all set. Kind of a French fry nacho smorgasbord. It was quite tasty.
- Dinner consisted of broccoli, sweet potatoes, and Italian sausages. It was all delicious and cooked by my amazing wife.
Onward to day twenty-nine!
