Day 14 of 62: My Fruit/Veg of the Day is Tuscan Cantaloupe

So, with 450 calories to spare toward the end of the day, I had already consumed plenty of fruits and veggies that I could have counted yesterday. I had been doing well on my diet and a McDonald's Sundae sure sounded like a refreshing idea that wouldn't break the calorie count for the day. Instead I went to the fridge, and by the time I would have been at the drive through window after getting ready, I had already consumed half of my sweet and juicy summer melon. Preparation was easier than deciding whether I wanted chocolate or caramel on my sundae, I about froze my teeth eating it, and the total calorie count came out to 100 calories. It also meant not adding a little more cholesterol into my body the night before a blood test that will show how I've been progressing in my cholesterol reduction goals. It probably cost a little more than the sundae (at least short-term) and was pretty satisfied with the substitution.
