I love fruits and veggies! On a typical day my husband makes a fun cut up fruit salad with whatever we have on hand so I usually get quite a few servings of fruit that way. It's a lot of work to cut and prep the variety that he does so it's greatly appreciated.
We do meal kits quite a few nights so a salad or some sort of roasted or sauteed veg is always the star. I love roasted veggies most - crispy bits are my jam.
I do occasionally do fruit smoothies or yogurt bowls with fruit in the morning as well. We also like cut up fruit for snacks - this summer we ate so much darn watermelon!6 -
Craziness took over. But I stuck with all three.
I worked out for 45 minutes (I usually keep Sunday as a rest day).
I tracked and kept (barely) within my calories.6 -

Yes x3 today! I didn't track the last two days at all, so I guess I will call them pass days. Really struggling to keep my motivation up these days.8

Yes to all three ✅✅✅
Love my vegetables — salads and soups depending on the season. I have trouble getting the protein in, but never the fibre, fruits, and veg.

We love freggies around our house as well.... usually not a problem getting them in! Today's exercise was a 5.5 mile walk outside. It was beautiful weather today!
We had our Christmas photo shoot today with my 4 great-grandbabies wearing the little outfits I crocheted for them! I can't wait to get the pics back! This one was snapped by one of my granddaughters!
(Santa was a bust because the 2 older girls were terrified of him!)
Soooo much sweetness, your great-grandbabies are precious 💕❤️💕3 -

Track: yes
Calories: yes ... with ONE! calorie left
Exercise: yes- Treadmill: 27 min / 1.66 mi
Regarding fruit/vegetables ... it's not that I don't like them it's more that I find the preparation to be tedious compared to other types of cooking which I do enjoy. I mostly oven roast or sauté. I'm trying to increase my fiber and vegetable intake. I don't typically eat a lot of fruit. Not that interested in it. I also need to balance my macros better. I tried a site through the dietitian I used last winter that would create menus with the precise macros I was looking for but it came up with some pretty boring dishes and also because of my low calories it was limited in choices so I gave up after a couple of months.

Pass Day 1 of 3
Woke up hungry & fought it unsuccessfully all day
Tracked all YAY
Over 12,000 steps YAY (over my weekly goal by 8,000 steps)
Strategizing for tomorrow.
Freggies:
I eat double portions (6 oz) of fruit or veg 3X a day. Often berries, crisp apples, red grapes. We got some delicious looking oranges today. Baby carrots, peppers, green beans & green peas are yummy.
I do eat more fruit than veg as fruit is supposed to be great for Crohn’s patients.
I would love to get back to salads, which I used to love, but I’ve been “off” them since my transplant (I think because of several “listeria?” recalls just after my transplant.
As for prep, I grew up eating plain fruit /veg, so other than occasional roasting or steaming of peas/beans, I eat them raw.5 -
Freggies: like them, eat them, but like @LazyBlondeChef, I find the preparation tedious - cleaning, scraping, peeling, chopping - and the quantities are often too much, broccoli, cauliflower, squash, a whole lettuce. I buy small quantities or individual carrots, turnips, parsnips, peppers, courgettes, aubergines. I keep frozen broccoli, spinach, green beans in the freezer, also a mixture of red fruits, so if I cannot be bothered, I have a Plan B. We have a frozen food store, Picard's, who do wonderful mixes of frozen veg. I occasionally buy a bag of those. I sometimes blanch and freeze my own fresh veg. and fruit: berries freeze well and semi-defrosted make my morning yoghurt and muesli very chilled!4

Yes x3
Great topic today. A couple of years ago I made it a challenge to add an extra veg to most recipes. It's been fun and improved my health. I aim for 10 servings of fruit and veg a day because if I fall short then I'm still doing well. Cucumber, celery, tomatoes, carrots are all easy to keep in the fridge and don't take much prep time. Try eating them without dip. I used to use them as a dip vehicle but they are great on their own.
Kimchi or sauerkraut (raw from the fridge section) are amazing for your gut bacteria and I can happily snack on a chunk of them or add them to loads of meals. Kimchi adds a delicious spicy extra and sauerkraut adds a tangy flavour. Both will cut through a lot of food beautifully.7 -

Exercise - MommaStrong video (while my guests were watching my kids!) and walking laps at the playground
Tracking - Preplanned and followed the plan, adjusting a bit as I went. My body was confused by the time change and maybe a bit extra hungry.
Calories - Balanced at 0.
I made it through a weekend of visitors without having to take a pass day! That's a first!
I eat a ton of veggies and love most veggies, so it's not something I need to sneak in. I usually have a fruit for a lunch "desert" (with 1 piece of candied ginger) and for an afternoon snack (with nuts or cheese). Right now pears are in season here and I am LOVING pears (half a pear per serving). In the winter I do a lot of frozen fruit and even some canned fruit and dried fruit. In summer it is all about seasonal local fruit.
Our usual cooking routine is for about once a week my wife does a big grill all the things (in summer) or roast all the things (other seasons). We eat those veg for much of the week. After they are gone, I eat frozen vegetables, which are totally fine and easy.
My default meal plan is to have an omelet with veg for breakfast. Then either lunch or dinner is a salad, and the other meal is protein, carb, veg. My "carb" is often also a veg - loving roasted winter squash right now, also sweet potatoes and potatoes are in the rotation. Basically a giant plate of veg is where it's at for me. I still like to eat a large volume of food and at 1200 calories a day, vegetables are key.6 -
