A Successful Experiment

I made it through the entire month of November without drinking any soda or eating any candy or desserts.

I set myself this challenge just to see if I could do it. Mom kept making cookies and eating chocolate pie and chocolate cake in front of me. Since I never told her about my challenge, she would ask if I wanted some. I just said, "No, thank you."

My grandmother always tells me I can do anything I set my mind to, so I thought I'd try this. And it was a success! I'm applying this knowledge to my writing now. I can get an agent, and I can get published. But I know that will take longer than a month.

I lost three pounds, too, so that's an added bonus!

As for December 1, I had a soda, some chocolate candy and chocolate cake. It was delicious!

Another Experiment

Back in February, I set myself the challenge of avoiding fast food for one month. Since I succeeded, I've been thinking about trying the same thing again.

However, I decided to give myself an even more difficult task. I'm going to try to avoid candy, desserts and sodas during November. To prepare for this, I ate several bags of M&M's on Halloween.

I'm trying to avoid the "unnecessary" stuff. To that end, I am pleased to report that Mom, who does not know about my plan, made brownies Sunday night, and I have not eaten even a crumb.

Wish me luck! It's probably going to be a long November.

The End of the Experiment

Well, I made it through February without eating any fast food.  I didn't even eat all my TV dinners, so I've still got them to eat, too.

I have not weighed myself, so I don't know if I lost any weight. Probably not. I can't get that lucky.

Promptly on March 1, a friend and I went to Wendy's. It tasted delicious!

An Experiment

I'm trying something for the month of February. I am avoiding fast food. No Taco Bell, no Wendy's, no McDonald's, nada.

I'm not doing this for any real reason other to see if I can. Any health benefits will be nice, and any financial gains will also be appreciated.

Generally I have a can of Slim Fast at lunch and supper at home.  So, I go to a fast food place about twice a week. In order to avoid the siren call of the cheap food, I bought some frozen dinners to keep at work and at home - for those days when Slim Fast just isn't going to satisfy.

Please note that I chose the shortest month of the year to try this little experiment. Wish me luck!
