My Fruitive Challenge: Day 156 — Birthday Boy

-

 Today is my birthday! 52 years old. I feel my age I think because of my diet; plus, I woke up with a stuffy nose. The girls were very sweet to sing happy birthday to me this morning. I explained to them on the way to school that we wouldn’t have a birthday party today because of our busy schedule; However, Sunday afternoon, we would celebrate by going to the movie theater to watch a 3-D movie of The Wild Robot as a family. They like that idea.

I treated myself today by playing disc golf at Paw Paw Park. It’s been a month since I’ve played. I could tell I had gotten rusty. My Udisc app tracked my steps at 6,744, 3.1 miles, and 2 floors of elevation. My steps for the day are 12,097. Not bad at all!

I remembered that I could get a birthday discount off a drink at Biggby. I downloaded the app. The Barista showed me how to use it to get my coffee for free. I ordered a 12 oz Fortaleza with Coconut milk and I added a raw sugar and a Stevia packet. Delicious!

No Cake and ice cream for this birthday boy! Not a problem.

Today’s Weigh-in: 206.3 lbs

1.3 away from 205.0, my new official halfway weight goal

3.3 away from my crossing into a new BMI weight class of Moderately Obese, Class 1 (193 — 203 lbs).

My Fruitive Challenge Diet: Day One!

I’m excited to begin my Fruitive Challenge today! It’s a big leap of faith because I had never imagined myself committing to a 100% Whole Foods Plant Based diet! But here I am doing it. I thank my brother Gregg for recruiting and motivating me to give it a try. He’s been eating this way for several years now and he looks much healthier than I do. Here he is advertising his restaurant, Fruitive , on Instagram. Here’s the catch though, for the first two months of the diet, I’m also committed to eating SOS free diet, which means no added salt, oils, or sugar in the food I consume. I have been pretty worried about that part of the plan because I love my salt, oil, and sugar, but I have to say that I had a really good first day of it. I ate fresh fruit for breakfast, rice and salad for lunch, and a rice and beans bowl for dinner. The trick for me is to add a variety of no salt seasonings to taste and to toss in a mix of vegetables including avocado. I had one mishap worth mentioning though

We signed up with Shipt for grocery-getting. It's our first time and it feels luxurious! I could get used to this! Like the first time I felt When Grubhub delivered me a hamburger, But better. Hey, the Shipt employee just texted me. She's on her way. Wait. A breaking update from News 8: "Shipt: Meijer team members at 3 stores test positive for COVID-19" Me: Uhh. Laura: She's here! Stand back. Don't touch. Smile. Say thank you. Wave goodbye. Spray the bags. Wipe the groceries clean. Did you get the receipt? Maybe we can return the COVID-19 For some in-store credit? For now, let's get dinner ready And eat nutritiously! A crown of luxury indeed Fit for a king and queen! I can't get used to this.
