Day 30 Apple 2, and 3

I was so excited to finish the apples I ate the last two apples at the same time. Before I say what the weight lose was I want to say this diet was a life changing 30 days. It changed so many things about my daily life.

1. Decreased the amount of food I eat.
2. Encouraged me to be healthy on daily basis.
3. Encouraged me to be healthy on a long term basis.

Over the course of this diet I lost 8.5 lbs, I also lost 2 inches off of my waist. None of my pants fit me any longer and I had to buy a new belt. This was a long 30 days and a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. It was one of the best things I have ever done in my life. I may have not lost the 10 lbs in the original challenge, but almost did and I lost size. It has also changed my life in a multitude of ways and can only thank the person who challenged me to this. Thanks OL!

Day 30 Apple 1

9:15 am

Day 30 Apple 1

I ate this apple as soon as I woke up. I am so excited for it to be the final day fo the apple diet. The last three apples will be Pink Lady apples, which as I have said many times are my favorite.

Day 29 Apples 2, and 3

9:00 pm

Day 29 Apples 2, and 3

Once again poor planning and a nap got the best of me as far as the apples are concerned. We planned on keeping Brooklyn up for the fireworks, but to do so she needed to take a nap at a time she normally does not. So as I laid down to put her to nap I happened to fall asleep as well and woke up just in time to see some fireworks. At that same time I realized I still had two of my last five apples to eat, so I decided to eat them at the same time.

Day 29 Apple 1

7:00 am

Day 29 Apple 1

Happy 4th of July, I was hoping today would be the last day but I did not realize until a few days ago I actually started on 6/5/10 and will end tomorrow not today. It was slightly disappointing, okay it was really disappointing. I am so tired of apples and completely ready to be done with this. I ate this apple as I was arriving at work today. I only have five more apples to eat but it is still a lot left.

Day 28 Apple 2, and 3

6:00 pm

Day 28 Apple 2, and 3

Some poor planning and a nap forced me to eat these two apples at the same time. I also did not feel like waiting till late in the night to eat the last one. So I decided to eat the last two apples of the day simultaneously as a dessert.

Day 28 Apple 1

8:30 am

Day 28 Apple 1

I ate this apple as soon as I woke up as my breakfast. If I eat the apple early enough in the morning I just do not feel like having anything else for breakfast. I usually will end up waiting till lunch to eat anything else.

Day 27 Apple 3

4:50 pm

Day 27 Apple 3

I ate this apple prior to eating my leftover's from lunch for dinner. We ate lunch at Jason's deli where I got a Ruben sandwich, it was delicious. This Pink Lady apple went really well with the sandwich. I only have three days left and it could not come soon enough.

Day 27 Apple 2

1:30 pm

Day 27 Apple 2

This Pink Lady apple was eaten shortly before arriving to work. I really only ate lunch and dinner today so this apple was eaten as a snack. Apples are an appetite suppressant and work very well as snacks to keep me from snacking on something unhealthy.

Day 27 Apple 1

10:15 am

Day 27 Apple 1

This apple was another Pink Lady and it was eaten on our way to Sam's Club to run some errands before work. I ate this apple while driving and again had the frustration of what to do with the apple core. I am very tempted to "recycle" it to the environment and throw it out the window in to the grassy area next to the road so an animal can eat it. I am not sure if it is considered littering or if it is acceptable to most people.

Day 26 Apples 1, 2, and 3

Day 26 Apples 1, 2, and 3

I have to apologize for the combined posting over the last several days. Also for the lack of posting over the last several days. These three apples were eaten periodically throughout day 26. The were all Pink Lady apples, as will the remainder of the days. After today I will only have nine more apples to eat, although it is still a lot of apples left I feel like.

Day 25 Apples 1, 2, and 3

Day 25 Apples 1,2 and 3

Once again sorry for the no posting times are busy now with a little baby girl. She is growing up faster than I can believe. She can now sit up right on her own without help. She will now be sitting in the shopping cart on her own when we go to buy apples. These were another bag of apples we bought from Aldi they were Gala's again.

Day 24 Apples 1, 2, and 3

Day 24 Apples 1,2, and 3

Sorry I have not posted in a few days I have been eating the apples just have not found time to post. These were various apples from various places. Not sure the order they were eaten in but I do know one was from QT and the other two were from Shell Gas Station.

Day 23 Apple 3

5:30 pm

Day 23 Apple 3

I ate this extremely juicy Shell gas station Granny Smith apple as a tart dessert. My hands were covered in sticky apple juice, in my opinion this was unusual for a Granny Smith apple. Much to my surprise, being a gas station apple, it was very crisp and delicious. It was one of the best Granny Smith apples I have ever had.

Day 23 Apple 2

10:30 am

Day 23 Apple 2

This apple was eaten just before my favorite Lean Cuisine TV dinner. Chicken enchilada suiza, which I ate today for lunch. It was the last of the Aldi apples, thankfully they were not very good any longer. I have decided when I start eating apples once a day after this is done I will eat them first thing in the morning. I enjoy eating apples for breakfast, it also wakes me up in the morning as I have said many times before.

Day 23 Apple 1

5:45 am

Day 23 Apple 1

I ate this apple on the way to work this morning. I brought the last two Aldi apples with me today. I think 10 apples is the largest amount of apples you should buy at one time, well when you are eating three a day. These apples could have coincidentally been eaten from best to worst, but they did get worse as I got closer to the end of them.

Day 22 Apple 3

4:55 pm

Day 22 Apple 3

This appetite suppressing apple was eaten just before dinner. It was an okay apple, again it was another Aldi Gala apple. I only have two more of them left so I will have to buy new apples tomorrow.

Day 22 Apple 2

10:30 am

Day 22 Apple 2

I ate this apple just before lunch today. The apple and a Mac & Cheese Lean Cuisine were all I ate and it filled me right up. This was another Aldi Gala apple, I think I only have two left. I am glad to report there are only 25 apples left to eat.

Day 22 Apple 1

5:45 am

Day 22 Apple 1

I ate this apple on the way to work and it was another Gala. I really enjoy the refreshing and awakening feeling an apple gives you. If I feel just a little tired or even really tired in the morning it just wakes me right up for my drive to work.

Day 21 Apple 3

6:30 pm

Day 21 Apple 3

I had this apple a few hours after dinner as a snack/dessert. It works well for this as I have stated in previous posts. It definitely fills me up and keeps me from wanting to snack again later on.

Day 21 Apple 2

4:15 pm

Day 21 Apple 2

I ate this apple just before dinner where I had a Santa Fe Style Rice and Beans by Lean Cuisine. It was a good dinner and with the apple it filled me up.

Day 21 Apple 1

1:45 pm

Day 21 Apple 1

This was another Aldi Gala apple, I only have a few of them left. I ate this apple shortly after arriving at work. It was a fairly good apple, I think the Aldi apples are hitting there shelf life. Each day they are not as good as the day before. Hopefully I can finish them off soon and get some new apples.

Day 20 Apple 3

11:10 pm

Day 20 Apple 3

I ate this apple as I was leaving work on my drive home. This was the first apple of the Aldi Gala apples I was not impressed with. It was fairly mushy and did not have a lot of flavor. It was not the worst apple I have ever had but definitely not very good. The worst Gala apple will still be better than the best Braeburn apple, which are my least favorite by far.

Day 20 Apple 2

5:30 pm

Day 20 Apple 2

I ate this apple at work just after dinner, where I had a Salisbury Steak Lean Cuisine. This was another one of the Aldi Gala apples, which are surprisingly good. I can not believe after today there are only nine days left. It was brought to my attention however I still have 27 apples to eat.

Day 20 Apple 1

9:00 am

Day 20 Apple 1

I ate this apple for breakfast it was the only thing I ate. An apple is a really good start to the day. It is refreshing and gets your body going for the day. It also really wakes me up, especially when I work an early morning shift it helps to wake me up.

Day 19 Apple 3

8:00 pm

Day 19 Apple 3

I enjoy eating an apple as a dessert, which is what I did with this apple. It really fills me up and helps with me wanting to snack late in the night. Especially if it is a sweeter apple cause then it really feels like a dessert.

Day 19 Apple 2

4:30 pm

Day 19 Apple 2

I ate this apple before dinner as a snack. This apple and the next several apples are all Aldi Gala apples. Aldi is an amazing store I can not get over how good of a deal all those apples were.

Day 19 Apple 1

9:00 am

Day 19 Apple 1

There is an end in sight only 11 days left. I would still like to eat an apple a day after I am done with this, but I do not know if I will be able to. I may have to take a small break between the end of this and the beginning of eating an apple a day. This whole process has definitely been a life style change and for the better. This was another Aldi Gala apple, I ate this one for breakfast.

Day 18 Apple 3

8:00 pm

Day 18 Apple 3

Unfortunately I ate this apple after dinner not before, but I knew I had to eat it so I did not eat as much at dinner. We had refried beans and sour cream and green Chile tamales. They were from Central Market and they were tasty. The apple was another Aldi Gala apple, they were so cheap I really do not care how they taste although they are pretty good.

Day 18 Apple 2

2:30 pm

Day 18 Apple 2

This apple was another good Gala apple from Aldi. I ate this one just before lunch. Like I have said before eating the apples before a meal definitely decreases your appetite at the following meal.

Day 18 Apple 1

10:00 am

Day 18 Apple 1

Took Brooklyn to see her first movie today it was Toy Story 3. On the way to see the movie I ate the first apple of the day I will not make the same mistake I made yesterday again. This apple was a Gala apple from Aldi, which is my new favorite grocery store. I got a dozen apples for two dollars and seventy cents. They are pretty good apples too.

Day 17 Apple 1,2, and 3

10:00 pm

Day 17 Apple 1,2, and 3

I worked the mid shift last night and it really messed up my entire day including the apple eating part of the day. I did not wake up until 3pm then did not do anything until dinner time. At which point I realized I had NO apples. I had to run to the Shell gas station to get apples. By the time we made and ate dinner, realized I had no apples, put Brooklyn to sleep, and ran and got apples it was 10:00 pm. Biggest mistake ever I had to three apples in two hours so I decided to eat them all and get it over with. Three apples at once is just to many apples to eat at the same time.

Day 16 Apple 3

6:00 pm

Day 16 Apple 3

This apple was a free apple from Souper Salad. It was okay but it was not labeled so I am not sure what kind of apple it was. I think it may have been a Red Delicious but again I am not sure. I ate it on the drive home from Souper Salad, as usual I was not sure what to do with the apple core. I ended up holding on to it for the remainder of the drive and throwing it away when I got home. I was told the other day by an unnamed source it was acceptable to throw the core out the window with two stipulations. First you MUST throw it out of the roadway and into a grassy area so an animal can eat it. Second as you throw the apple you MUST say the phrase, "Apple core Baltimore." The first stipulation makes sense and is probably true, an animal will eat the core. On the other hand the second rule makes no sense and I am not sure where it came from. I was just told it must be said when throwing a core out of a car window. While this might be acceptable to most people I have not tried it and was told Police Officers may not agree with it either. I was told Police Officers would probably still consider it littering, especially in Texas. "Don't Mess With Texas," is their slogan after all.

Day 16 Apple 2

11:00 am

Day 16 Apple 2

This apple was eaten just before lunch, it was a Sonya apple. I have decided I probably will not be buying anymore Sonya apples they are just fair. I am excited I am on the downward slope of this 30 days, but there is still a lot left. 30 days is a lot longer than I thought it was and I have a whole new respect for the time span.

Day 16 Apple 1

5:45 am

Day 16 Apple 1

I ate this apple on the way to work this morning. It was a fairly tasty slightly boring Fuji apple. I have noticed on morning's when I eat apples I feel a lot more awake. Usually I'm slightly tired still when I get to work, but not when I eat an apple first thing when I wake up.

Day 15 Apple 3

11:20 pm

Day 15 Apple 3

The half way point I feel like it has been a lot more than just 15 days. It is a long time to eat three apples a day, at least a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. This apple was nothing special just another Granny Smith apple. It was okay I should have chosen a really tasty Pink Lady apple to celebrate the half way point. Only 15 more days to go and it will not be here soon enough.

Day 15 Apple 2

4:05 pm

Day 15 Apple 2

I brought another apple with us to eat while we there but decided to eat on the way down there instead. It was another Sonya apple, I had never heard of them before and do not really like them. They are not very flavorful and like I said before they are kind of heavy as far as apples go.

Day 15 Apple 1

4:00 pm

Day 15 Apple 1

Drove down to my grandparent's house to spend part of father's day with them and ate this apple on the way. It was a very delicious Pink Lady apple. Luckily I had Nikki cut it up before we left so I didn't have to worry about what to do with the core.

Day 14 Apple 3

10:00 pm

Day 14 Apple 3

My lovely wife and beautiful daughter made me peanut butter oatmeal cookies for father's day, which made this last apple very difficult to eat. I think a direct quote was, "I just want to eat cookies I don't want to eat any apples." Aside from this it was I good pre father's day. This was a semi good Sonya apple, not sure how I really feel about Sonya apples yet.

Day 14 Apple 2

4:55 pm

Day 14 Apple 2

I ate this Pink Lady at work just before 5 pm. It was another really good Pink Lady apple but definitely needed to be washed off. It was really dirty near the stem and the bottom. I washed it out and used a paper towel to clean it out additional. It was still a good apple how dirty it was just grossed me out a little bit.

Day 14 Apple 1

2:45 pm

Day 14 Apple 1

This Fuji apple was eaten during Lunch. I also ate a ham and cheese Lean Pocket and a lot of mango salsa. It was recently brought to my attention not everyone refrigerator's their apples. I think this is a huge mistake, in my opinion it is essential to refrigerator your apples. When an apple is warm it just does not taste as good as a nicely chilled apple. I would even say the consistency is not the same for a warm apple, I feel like it is more mushy and less crisp.

Day 13 Apple 3

10:00 pm

Day 13 Apple 3

This was yet again another Pink Lady apple as delicious and refreshing as ever. I ate this apple pretty late in the evening and wish I had eaten it earlier. I hate putting off eating these apples till later in the day, it just gets harder and harder the longer I wait to eat them.

Day 13 Apple 2

4:30 pm

Day 13 Apple 2

I ate this Granny Smith apple after dinner it was an alright apple. I attempted to eat the apple cinnamon dessert in my Healthy Choice, but couldn't stomach it. It just seemed like I would be eating too many apples today. I hope to eat third apple, a Pink Lady apple, before too long. I ate this apple at work and had discussion with a few people at work about Granny Smith apples. I have come to realize people either absolutely love or absolutely hate Granny Smith apples.

Day 13 Apple 1

11:15 am

Day 13 Apple 1

I tried the Sonya apple today, it was an okay apple. As far as apples go it was a very heavy apple, just very filling. It had an okay flavor but nothing special, not very sweet not very tart. I had this apple with lunch, it was a tuna sandwich with an apple as opposed to chips. Due to all the apples I have been eating lately I have started to eat less at each meal. The tuna sandwich and the apple completely filled me up.

Day 12 Apple 3

10:05 pm

Day 12 Apple 3

I was going to wait a little bit to eat this last apple but I decided to just get it over with. It was also a Pink Lady apple and a very enjoyable one at that. While I do find it important to eat the apples before each meal I do not think is essential. The overall concept of eating three apples, whether before or after the meal, affects the entire way you eat all day long. When you eat the apples before the meals it is merely a physical affect, you just simply are not as hungry. Whereas when you eat the apples at any point during the day it has a mental affect on you. All you think about all day and at every meal is I still have to eat three apples. It makes you eat less at every meal and not feel yourself up as much knowing you still have to more apples.

Day 12 Apple 2

10:00 pm

Day 12 Apple 2

We had a long day of Doctor's appointment's and shopping at the Northeast Mall. So the last two apples of the day, unfortunately, were not eaten till late in the evening. This one was another Pink Lady apple, they are so delicious I just can not get over it. They are not only great tasting they are refreshing as well. They are just so light and crisp they do not feel like it is work to eat them just pure enjoyment.

Day 12 Apple 1

9:00 am

Day 12 Apple 1

As you may have noticed I posted the last three posts all just now and none yesterday, we had another internet problem but it is now fixed. This apple was one of my favorite's as you can guess it was a Pink Lady apple. Just as good as all the Pink Lady apple's. I think I will try the new flavor later today, I think it was called a Sonya apple I will have to check.

Day 11 Apple 3

8:30 pm

Day 11 Apple 3

I had this apple just after dinner on my drive to AD's house. It was again a Granny Smith apple, it was just a Granny Smith kind of day. This was probably the best Granny Smith I have ever had it was just slightly tart and it almost had a slight sweetness to it. Unusual for a Granny Smith apple but it made all the difference in the taste.

Day 11 Apple 2

5:30 pm

Day 11 Apple 2

I ate this apple just before going out to dinner at BJ's Brewery. I had a pulled pork sandwich but due to the apples I didn't partake much in the Pazookie after dinner. This was another Granny Smith apple, but this one was very tart it had almost a bitter taste. Not the best apple I have ever had but still not to bad.

Day 11 Apple 1

10:30 am

Day 11 Apple 1

I had a Granny Smith apple it was an okay tasting apple. I fell like Granny Smith apple's are a totally different fruit with an apple consistancy. They are very tart but very good just totally different from most apples.

Day 10 Apple 3

8:30 pm

Day 10 Apple 3

I decided to go ahead and finish off the apples for the day. I got all three of the Gala apples I ate today from Target. All three of them were good but did have a slightly tangy taste to them, which compared to past Gala's I have had was unusual. It was not bad it was just unusual and different than most of the Gala apples I have had. We did find a new flavor of apple at Target today they were Sonya apples. I am going to try them tomorrow hopefully they are good.

Day 10 Apple 2

8:25 pm

Day 10 Apple 2

Well I decided to go ahead and eat apple two immediately following apple one. They were both Gala apples, and they were very good Gala's as well. We went shopping earlier today at Target to get multiple thing's one of which being some more apples. While we were there we got a lot of different apples, but they were all repeats of previous apples I have had. We are going to go to the farmer's market in Carrollton hopefully we will find some new apples.

Day 10 Apple 1

8:20 pm

Day 10 Apple 1

Working a mid-shift really messes with my apple eating schedule. I get home about 7:10 am and go straight to bed after being up all night. I do not wake up till 1:30 pm and do not feel like eating apples as soon as I wake up. So it ends up I eat my first apple at 8:20 pm, it is very dissapointing. I will now have to the next two apples in the near future and I am not looking forward to it.

Day 9 Apple 3

10:15 pm

Day 9 Apple 3

Well on my drive to work for the mid-shift I realized I forgot my apple at home. I had to stop by QT to get a replacement apple. There was no sticker on it so I am not sure what flavor it was. Based on the taste and juiciness I am pretty sure it was a Fuji apple. Gas stations are not know for their apples, but this was a fairly good apple.

Day 9 Apple 2

2:55 pm

Day 9 Apple 2

On my drive home from work I ate another Fuji apple, which made my previous post come to fruition. Once I was done eating the apple my hand was all sticky and not only did I have nothing to clean my hand with I had no where to put the core. I finally remembered I had a grocery bag in my lunch box from earlier in the day I could put it in. This only solved half of the problem as my hands were still sticky from the juice of the apple. I did not want to get the steering wheel all sticky so I did not touch the steering wheel with my right hand the entire drive home. Thirty five minutes later when I got home I was able to wash my hand and solve the entire problem. While an apple sometimes is not the easiest snack to eat it is definitely the most rewarding.

Day 9 Apple 1

10:30am

Day 9 Apple 1

I ate an early lunch and ate the first apple of the day just before. It was a Fuji apple, I haven't decided how I really feel about them yet. A Fuji is slightly bland but very juicy. I enjoy how juicy it is but wish it had more sweetness. I have also decided while an apple is an amazing snack it is hard to eat just anywhere. For two reasons, the first being the juiciness and the second being the core. Getting apple juice all over your hands which in turn makes them sticky is not the most fun thing in the world. I never know what to do with the core after I am done eating it. I never seem to have a bag to put it in or a place to put it that will not get everything all sticky.

Day 8 Apple 3

7:00 pm

Day 8 Apple 3

Shortly after dinner as a dessert I had a Fuji apple. It was one of the juiciest apples I have ever had. Fuji apples in my opinion are a average apple not fantastic but not bad either, and not the sweetest but not very tart either. I think the old adage "An apple day keeps the doctor away," is a very true and accurate statement. Since I started this diet 8 days ago I have never felt better. I feel more active and energetic than I have in a really long time. Probably to my wife's demise at least for the energetic part, I think it translates to annoying for her. If I am able to eat apples after this I will try and eat at least one apple a day. It does not sound hard to do after eating three apples a day.

Day 8 Apple 2

11:30 pm

Day 8 Apple 2

Just before lunch I ate apple number two, it was also a Pink Lady apple. The Pink Lady Apples have yet to disappoint me, in fact I feel like each one is better than the last. I have attempted to eat the apples before each meal, which I think makes a huge difference. I have noticed on the days I do not eat the apples before the meals I'm full from the meal and force myself to eat the apple. If I eat the apple before the meal I get pretty full from the apple and do not eat all of the meal. I have also come to realize when eating three apples a day an apple dessert in a Healthy Choice does not sound the least bit appetizing.

Day 9 Apple 1

8:45 am

Day 9 Apple 1

I started my day with coffee and a Pink Lady apple. As usual the Pink Lady apple was delicious and very satisfying. I may start to only have Pink Lady apples since I enjoy them so much. When I was younger I used to think it would be easy to do anything for thirty days it is not that long. Well I have slightly changed my mind on this, I still think I can do anything for thirty days and it is not that long. I no longer believe it will be easy though. Eating three apples a day is much more difficult than I ever thought it would be. As for losing weight I waiting till I'm done to reveal this, but I will say it has definitely changed my eating habits.

Day 8 Apple 3

8:00 pm

Day 8 Apple 3

I just ate apple number three for the day. I am not looking forward to starting over tomorrow. This apple was also a Gala, much to my surprise. I guess I must have bought three Gala's instead of three Fuji apples this morning at Tom Thumb. All three of the apples today were good, but still not as good as a Pink Lady. This last apple was not as juicy as the others and therefore not quite as good. I think tomorrow will be a Granny Smith day, which is not very exciting. Hopefully this weekend I can get some different flavors of apples at the farmer's market in Carrollton.

Day 8 Apple 2

4:30 pm

Day 8 Apple 2

I consumed apple two at work and I will also eat apple three at work. While I thought all my apples today were Fuji, a Gala apple slipped in there some how. I think Gala apples maybe my second favorite apple. They are slightly sweet but quite juicy, which I enjoy. Many people have said to me, "It's just three apples a day it can not be that bad." I will be the first to tell you it is much harder than you think. I still have to eat apple three for today and I am dreading it. You are constantly full and NEVER feel like eating another apple, much less anything else. It has also been suggested to me to do many different things with the apples. I feel this takes away from the spirit of the bet and the diet. I don't think it will really serve it's purpose if you don't stay true to the diet and eat three whole apples everyday.

Day 8 Apple 1

2:30 pm

Day 8 Apple 1

I started pretty late in the day, but I had to make a run to the grocery store before work. We went to Tom Thumb only to be dissappointed by there lack of apples. The only had three kinds, Granny Smith, Red Delicious, and Fuji. So I got three of each and took three to work. I took all Fuji apples today there are good but not great. The Fuji apple is very juicy which I like but they do not have much flavor. This apple was one of the better Fuji apples I have ever had. It comes no where close to a Pink Lady apple though. This becomes harder day by day, but I will not quit.

Day 7 Apple 3

9:55 pm

Day 7 Apple 3

Walked down to the cafeteria to get a snack and saw the apples they had only to realize I had one more apple to eat for the day. I ate my last apple of the day at work and it was a Pink Lady apple. It was the last apple we had in the refrigerator so we will need to make a stop at the grocery store tomorrow before work.

Day 7 Apple 2

6:15 pm

Day 7 Apple 2

Apples, apples, and more apples, I have decided all I do anymore is think about apples. I have to decide when to get more, where to get more, how many more to get, and what kind to get. Needless to say I'm getting tired of apples. The other day when we went to sprouts I bought a apple pie thinking it looked really delicious, I haven't been apple to even eat one bite. The thought of eating more than three apples a day is hard to stomach, quite literally it's hard to stomach. This apple was a decent Braeburn apple, slightly boring in flavor as usually. I ate it at work as I'm going to do with the third apple of the day.

"The other day when we went to sprouts I bought a apple pie thinking it looked really delicious, I haven't been apple to even eat one bite."

This misspelling was on accident, it should say able, but this shows how much I think about apples.

Day 7 Apple 1

10:30 am

Day 7 Apple 1

Had this apple pretty early, compared to previous days. It was a Pink Lady apple from Wholefood's. It was a little too ripe and slightly mushy, but as with all Pink Lady apples it tasted awesome. I have decided apples are hit and miss, some look great but taste bad and some look bad but taste great. In my opinion there is really no way to tell if it's going to be a good apple. You can make a good guess at it but it's never for sure.

Day 6 Apple 3

9:55 pm

Day 6 Apple 3

This apple was also a Braeburn, I have decided Braeburn's are the most boring apple I have had yet. They are fairly bland and and not very crisp. I think these two specifically were slightly too ripe, they were kind of mushy on the inside. I was planning on having dessert afterwards, but I do not think there is room in my tummy. Since these two apples turned out to be my dessert I wish I would have picked sweeter apples.

Day 6 Apple 2

Day 6 Apple 2

This apple was a Braeburn and it was just okay. I didn't want to wait to eat the third apple so I ate apples two and three at the same time.

Day 6 Apple 1

This was the first apple of the day and it was late in the day. Our Internet just got fixed so I can now post easier again. We took Brooklyn to the Ft. Worth Zoo, it was her first trip to the Zoo. She loved it but fell asleep about half way through too much for her I guess. Anyways after the Zoo we stopped by Wholefood's in Arlington and didn't find any new apples. So I stocked up on Pink Lady's and Braeburn's. They had some really good fresh fruit there so we also got mango's and starfruit. This apple was another delicious Pink Lady. The next apple, which will be here in a little bit, will be a Braeburn.

Day 5 Apple 3

This will be a short post due to our internet being down, I'm having to do this from my phone. I had a red delicious apple from the shell gas station at 287 and avondale haslet road. I realized I was out of apples at 8 pm and made a run to the closest store. It was one of the better tasting red delicious apples I have ever had, surprisingly considering where I came from.

Day 5 Apple 2

Apple 2 of the day was just before lunch. Not sure what kind of apple it was cause the sticker fell off somewhere. It was pretty sweet so I think it may have been a Braeburn or a Red Delicious. It was good but not the best. Well head off to the store here in a bit to get some more apples. Hopefully we can find some new flavors to try.

Day 5 Apple 1

I had to repeat an for the first time it was another Pink Lady Apple. The one was a little more tart than the last one. My favorite part of the Pink Lady apple is how juicy the are. I know all apples are juicy but these were juicier than normal. Later today or tomorrow we will head to Wholefood's to see if we can get any new flavors of apples. I think we are also going to try and stop by some farmer's market's, like the one in Carrolton.

Day 4 Apple 3

An Empire apple from Central Market is the most disappointing apple I have had thus far. Not sure why it was bad it was from a great store and on the outside the apple looked great. But once I cut into the apple it was bruised on the inside and didn't taste the greatest. I really feel like I shouldn't have eaten the apple but it's too late for that. I don't think it was a good apple. I guess looks can be deceiving the store, and the apple looked great but on the inside it was garbage.

Day 4 Apple 2

We made a trip to Central Market today and I have made the determination having a different apple every single time isn't realistic. Therefore I'm going to change my goal, I have decided I will try as many different flavor of apples as I can find. I might have the same apple twice or three times, but I will try not to repeat the same apple too many times. This apple was a Macintosh Apple it was okay fairly bland more on sweet side but not much. Apple number three for today will come shortly there is not much time left in the day, it will be a Empire Apple.

Day 4 Apple 1

Just woke up from the mid and after a quick Skype session with my wife's parents I consumed the first apple of the day. It was a Royal Gala, which is clearly a version of the Gala apple. It was sweeter than a regular Gala apple, which made it taste much better than the Gala apple. We are getting ready to head out to Central Market for our apple shopping adventure. We may have to go to Wholefood's in Arlington as well to see how many different kinds we can find. If we can't find many new flavors I will just get a few Pink Lady apples, which are still my favorite.

Day 3 Apple 3

While on the mid-shift at work I ate the last apple of the day, which was a Fuji apple. It was an OK apple definitely not my favorite but still pretty good. Once I wake up from the mid we are going to go to Central Market and try to find more apples. I don't think it will be possible to find 90 different flavors of apples, but we will see once we get to Central Market. If I can't find 90 different apples I'm still going to try and find as many different flavors as possible. There may have to be some flavor repeats but as few as possible.

Day 3 Apple 2

For my after dinner "dessert" I had a Golden Delicious apple. It's pretty good semi sweet with a slight tartness. I would say the Pink Lady is my new favorite flavor of apple. If I ever eat an apple after the thirty days I will probably only Pink Lady Apples. I still have to eat one more apple today and I think it's going to be a Fuji or a Braeburn I haven't decided yet.

Day 3 Apple 1

Blogger was still down when I needed to blog about my brunch apple, which is a Cameo apple. Who would have thought there were this many types of apples. I have a feeling they are all based on the more popular varieties with slight variations in flavor. This is becoming harder than I thought it would be. I find myself constantly full and not looking forward to the next apple. It’s going to be a long thirty days but well worth it in one way or another.

Day 2 Apple 3

Blogger was down since Sunday night so I have to post this at a different time for this apple. Anyways I had a Jazz apple, it was a tart apple. It is similar to a Granny Smith, but a different kind of tart taste. It was a late night apple but I didn’t have much of a choice, I treated it as if it were my dessert after dinner. I guess if it were my dessert I should have gone for a sweeter apple.

Day 2 Apple 2

I ate lunch at Firehouse Subs after a tour of DFW East Tower and didn't have my apple with me. I had to eat one apple before dinner and one apple after dinner. So far I have only eaten the pre dinner apple, it was a Jonagold. Of the apples I have eaten so far this one was the most bland. It was slightly sweet but definatly my least favorite. I ate this apple after we got home from a run to Sprouts Family Market. We got some new kinds of apples, Royal Gala, Cameo, and few others. I'm am taking a multi-vitamin every morning and consuming a lot more water, advive given to me by a much wiser man than I. I don't know if I will be apple to find 90 different flavors of apples, but I'm going to give my best effort.

Day 2 Apple 1

Last night after work I stopped by Walmart to get some different kinds of apples and I stumbled across a Pink Lady Apple. It's similar to a Granny Smith but slightly sweeter. It was a real good apple, again it was all I had for breakfast. Like most of the apples I will have in the next thirty days I had never heard of a Pink Lady Apple. I also got a Jonagold, which will be for lunch, and a Jazz Apple. Tomorrow after work we will go to Central Market and see what we can find. With help from a friend and coworker I was able to find a Semi-local orchard which has thirty different kinds of apples. It is in Lubbock, TX though so I would have to have them shipped.

Day 1 Apple 3

At work I ate the 3rd and final apple for the day. I can already tell I'm going to get tired of apples by day thirty. I changed from a Granny Smith to a Gala Apple for dinner. The reason I decided to change the type is because there has been a slight adjustment to the 90 Apples 30 Days diet. I'm going to try and have 90 different flavors of apples. The Internet claims there are 7,500 different kinds of apples, I'm hoping the DFW Metroplex has at least 90 of these varieties. So far I have had a Granny Smith, Red Delicious, and a Gala, Granny Smith being my favorite thus far.

Day 1 Apple 2

On my drive to work I consumed apple number 2, it was a red delicious. Not a big fan of the red delicious. I will be making a trip to Central Market tomorrow to get different apples. I think I'm going to try the Gala and Fuji varieties next. For dinner I will be eating another Granny Smith apple.

Day 1 Apple 1

I started today with a Granny Smith apple, I'm not a big breakfast person so all I ate was the apple. The challenger said I could eat the apples whenever I want as long as I eat 3 a day, but I'm going to try and eat them at my regular meals. For lunch I plan on having a red delicious apple but we will see how it turns out.
