WHAT!!! Are you serious!?!?

Ok, food just officially stopped being fun.

Remember a while back when I was putting milk on blast saying I'm trying to cut it out of my diet?!?!? Well now I need to add a couple more UNFORTUNATE additions to the list of things containing dairy.

For those who know me, ya know that I am a man about two things: My MILO & My cereal. Those are two food products that I could have any time of the day or night...well not anymore.

According to the labels, now that I find myself reading those things more these days, there's a ton of dairy in MILO. And if I woulda stopped and given it some thought it should actually make sense for a chocolate drink to contain milk...but the thought never crossed my mind until now. I must've been in heavenly chocolate stained bliss for too long. For those who don't know...this is MILO. (and you should be ashamed of yourself for not knowing :o)




So just as I started to pick myself up off the floor in the pantry I stumbled across another one of my beloved 'go-to' snacks. Honey Bunches of Oats: by far the best cereal on the shelf hands down. This one is actually funny because the ingredients not only spell out the contents, it has CONTAINS DAIRY in bold print. hahaha...torture!




So as I bid farewell to my beloved Milo for the next 30+ days (maybe more) it's clear to me now that this challenge is more about self discipline & sacrifice than diet.

So I ask again...what else are you giving up for the cause? We all have that one thing that we need to ease off of...what does March look like for you?!?
