First of all, I want to say thank to everyone who’s read the blog and given me feed back. Especially the r/food community on Reddit.

I’ve got a month of this under my belt, and the same question seems to come up when people ask me about why I’m doing this. “Has seeing what you eat every day made you eat better?”

As of right now, I think the answer is no. I don’t think I ate poorly before, but I also don’t think my eating habits have changed because of this. I will say, however, that one thing has changed my eating habits. I’m getting married in about 5 months, and we’re on a tight budget. I’ve had to stop eating out.

I didn’t eat out too often, but I’d usually go out to lunch once or twice a week, and that adds up fast. I’ve been bringing my lunch much more often now, and 9 times out of 10 it’s leftovers from the night before. Not only does this save money, but I’m sure that the food we cook at home is healthier than most anything I’ll find at the restaurants around my work.

I’ve also had people ask why I don’t photograph or record beverages. Simple answer: I’m lazy. It’s hard enough capturing everything I eat, and adding the drinks into that would probably cause me to just stop this project.

To give you a general idea of what I drink in a day, I’d say about 3 cups of water, 2 cups of coffee, 1 glass of milk (why don’t we say “cup of milk”?), and usually 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks in the evening. I’m sure the alcohol is more than I should… but I also read stuff about 2 drinks a day being beneficial. I’ll choose to go with the latter.

Thanks for your continued support in this, and please feel free to leave any comments or feed back on my posts if you’re so inclined!
