Well it is officially football season - I know because I had to make a late night run to the local casino with Snackers to cash in his first win of the season last night, $98 off a $14 bet. Go Snackers! We got the Red Zone package this year so it's blasting through the house right now and last night the team Snackers coaches won their first game: 31 to 0.
We went grocery shopping and I bought a bunch of things for my three-day fruit and veggie fast. Here are the rules: I can still have my morning cup of coffee but I'm going to TRY to drink it black. I can have nuts and seeds as fillers but, other than that, it's all fruit and veg. I bought tomatoes, nectarines, plouts, kiwis, bananas, a watermelon, and a canteloup for fruit. And I got cucumbers, chickpeas, corn, artichokes, carrots, and onions for veggies. I wanted to get some fresh asparagus but they didn't have any that looked healthy - I might pick some up at a different store later if I start running out. I'd like to get some fresh blueberries too - Snackers bought some a month or so ago and they were tasty.
So tonight will be my last taste of carbs or meats for three days - it's going to be hard because I'm not a fan of fruit at all but I bought a lot of it and I HATE throwing food away so hopefully my frugal personality will help me stay strong.

If you don't like your coffee black, I recommend trying tea. No honey or sweetener, but a really great green or black tea.
ReplyDeleteI went totally nuts for it, and now me and the loose leaf tea shop are on first name basis.
Just something new to try . . .
I can gag down green tea but I'd take black coffee over black tea any day. Today's black coffee wasn't so bad actually. Surprising
