Why?

Why no grocery store in 2020?

1. Have you seen all the food recalls lately?

2. I like supporting local economy.

3. I would rather do a year long challenge then make a New Year's resolution. Last year's challenge was a year of health. I went from being mostly sedentary and eating like crap, to losing 60 pounds and working out on average 5 times a week.

4. Can I do this living in a smallish town, in a trailer park without it costing a fortune? In full disclosure last year I ate fairly locally and seasonally. Using the grocery store for convenience foods because sometimes I just don't feel like cooking. I have a lot of connections that will make this a wee bit easier, such as CSA, milk, meat, grain etc

Week 2 in the Books

So I am still sick. Man this stuff is going around pretty bad. It has made it a little bit more challenging. Mainly because even though I had food prepared all I wanted was junk food. So what did I do? I ate all the convenience food and the prepared food got frozen. I couldn't imagine what it be like to have kids and take care of them too. Hats off to all the moms out there. Waste this week: I had to throw away some celery root and jam I had in the fridge. That was 11 oz of food. I also had to through away 5 sweet potato latkes. They tasted bad. So I don't think sweet potatoe latkes are the way to go. Spending: Nothing extra spent Weight: since I ate like it was my job and I was a total rockstar at it.... I am not weighing in this week. Sometimes ya just gotta be nice to yourself
