My (ahem)....Experiment

 "Those who want to do right more than anything else are happy, 
because God will fully satisfy them.Jesus

I've come to a decision in the past few days. 

For the month of February (beginning February 1),  I aspire to eat a diet similar to that of my sponsor children.  It's a simple experiment, but simple doesn't always mean easy.

My goal is to limit my food options to oatmeal, rice, beans, bananas, carrots and broccoli.   I will drink water and unflavoured black or green tea.  To be honest, I haven't decided yet if I will be allowed sugar in my oatmeal or tea, or if I will allow seasonings/herbs in my rice. I am the type of person who can allow indecision in those types of details to sway me from starting something, so I am choosing to work out those small kinks along the way.

In the coming days, I will unpack some of my reasons for this experiment, explain why I chose the foods that I did, as well as blog about my day-to-day experiences on this little adventure.  For today, writing down this goal helps to solidify my resolve.  And for today, that is enough.

Day 1, I'm coming after you!
