    I got my greens in for today! I had fajitas for dinner, so used lettuce and quacomole in them.

    Hey Fitness Chick, I've also got another idea for the water. My mom put a glass by the bathroom sink so that everytime she goes she drinks a glass of water and before you know it, you've had your days worth.

    Also, by the way, I'm on my 3rd 32 oz glass of water!!! :drinker: I have hit my daily goal! YAY!!! :happy: I'm so proud. And I'm liking it again.:laugh:

    Your Momma's got a great idea with the glass in the bathroom:flowerforyou:

    Yay YOU for getting in your water today AND your greens You ROCK CHICK:drinker: :tongue:

    Goin Green Challenge Week 2 of Challenges

    This weeks challenge is really about us each thinking more on eating our greens....just like last week was focusing on keeping our water up, if we didn't normally drink water, then hopefully last week changed all that and made us much more conscience of the importance of it.:drinker:

    This week, same things....some folks don't eat ANYTHING green in their daily foods....so think of this challenge as paying more attention to what your choices are and what various green veggies & fruits can do for our bodies.

    If for some reason a day comes and you forgot your greens or gag at greens....just google something that talks about the importance of greens for our bodies. Simple? Oh Yeaaaaa.....just share what you found on here and there ya be!

    So eat your greens or look up your greens & share:tongue: .....either way we learn, but perhaps the better goal is to increase our attention to just how much or little of the green family of foods we eat:drinker:

    Greens are VERY VERY important to the health of our bodies....if you have a tough time with anything but iceburg (is that a real food?:noway: ) stretch out a bit and try some darker greens....really you'll be amazed if you haven't tried them before. The energy punch is powerful!:drinker:

    I was just telling my partner last night how I never really paid attention to how much greens I eat. It will be interesting to keep track this week. I have no problem eating veggies - especially spinach - raw, cooked...whatever! I don't know why that happened, but it's been that way since my first pregnancy. I remember hating the stuff when I was a kid.
    Oh but you see....OoooooM we have a very SPECIAL list of greens for you bwwwwwahahahha

    Just found this and it sounds yummy...
    Chinese Green Bean Salad

    4 Servings
    This bright green, crunchy salad is bursting with Asian flavors and is so easy to prepare. Look for fresh, plump organic green beans if you can find them. Cook them until they are bright green and still crunchy-tender. At this point you can keep the green beans refrigerated. Toss them with the dressing just before serving or the acid in the dressing will dull the bright green color. Ginger root, one of the main flavors in this salad, is actually a rhizome, an underground stem of a tropical plant, Zingiber officinale, which is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties and as a treatment for nausea. You can use ginger in many forms and reap its benefits.

    Ingredients:
    1 pound fresh green beans, organic if possible
    1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger root
    1 cup slivered red onion

    Dressing:
    4 teaspoons dry mustard powder
    1 tablespoon cold water
    2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
    3 tablespoons rice or cider vinegar
    2 teaspoons dark-roasted sesame oil

    Instructions:

    1. Trim and cut the green beans into 1-inch lengths. Cook in rapidly boiling water, about 5 minutes or until crunchy-tender.
    2. Drain beans, immerse in cold water to stop the cooking until they are cool, then drain well.
    3. Mix the dressing ingredients in a small bowl with a whisk until well blended.
    4. Toss the green beans with the ginger root, red onion and dressing. Serve immediately.
