Why, hello there...long time no see! I know, It’s been a while since I did one of these, and a lot of things have happened in the world since my last blog post. The holidays have come and gone, we’ve elected a new president, and we are well into a new year. Consequently, lots has happened with me personally as well. Life has been busy, but not necessarily in a bad way. There's also been a recent development with the blog, so continue reading as I unveil a little surprise for all you Fiscally Fit Foodies!
So what have I accomplished since my last blog post (yikes, that was too long ago)? More things than I can possibly list. Let’s just stick with the highlights: I visited New York and spent time with friends there while also experiencing a lot of the culinary bounty that NYC has to offer. I also got to attend the US Open tennis tournament, which was AWESOME. In fact, I enjoyed my NY visit so much that I’ll be going again in May...in addition to Sweden, Scotland, and Iceland.
Another major accomplishment was the completion of my culinary certification, which had taken somewhere pretty close to nine months (I know, all the mothers reading this are like, “Pffft, he should see what I did in nine months.” When I’ve got the certificate and my chef’s jacket, I’ll be sure to get a picture on here. I also bowled an 800 series for the first time ever. I’ve bowled a perfect 300 game before, but an 800 series is so much more difficult to obtain because it requires three nearly perfect games in succession during a league competition. It’s such a big honor and rarity that the United States Bowling Congress give you a commemorative ring.
There have been many personal goals set for the new year, one of which is to make this blog a weekly priority. I’ve got a long list of ideas that are building blocks for what I hope will become something many of you anticipate reading/watching every week as we go forward. Suggestions from readers and friends have helped me greatly and are always appreciated. That being said, I’m looking forward to providing everyone with many more posts that center around delicious, healthy food; promotion of an active lifestyle intermingled with proper fitness and nutrition; and doing all of this with a cost-conscious slant. If you ever have an idea for a post, share it with me. I encourage feedback and want you to be spending your time reading something that you feel adds value to your life.
Now that we have covered where we’re going in 2017 with this blog, I suppose now is as good a time as any to unveil the new Fiscally Fit Foodie logo. This was designed by the talented (and extremely patient) Natalie Minnott, owner of Nat Nat Designs. Thanks for your work on this and for putting up with my requests. So without further ado, I present to you the new logo (which you’ll soon see everywhere on my site) for Fiscally Fit Foodie!

And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. It took a few months to come to fruition (because I was difficult), but don’t you think it was worth the wait? Luckily for you, you won’t have to wait so long for the next post. I’ve got to recharge my camera (because it makes me look like I know what I’m doing when I make food), reinstall some video software (yes, scary), and update some of the information on the site...but prepare for a spectacular 2017 for the Fiscally Fit Foodie blog. I’m looking forward to sharing it with you all!
