@Mrs_Hoffer and @SummerSkier I started in UAC in August 2021 and thought, at times, that I had landed on another planet. 😂😂😂 The “freggie” posts were full of codes that, I eventually learned from @WhatMeRunning meant how many servings were consumed of each. I remember @biketheworld used to post about them a lot as did many others. The iOS emojis are abundant with them 🥦🥒🥕🥗🥔🌶🍆🌽🍅🥬🧅🧄🫑🍒🍓🍇🍎🍉🍑🍊🍋🍍🍌🥑🍏🍈🍐🥝🥭🥥🍅🫐3

Thanks for such an interesting opening post today @StayFITTer I have never seen this chart before and it is really interesting! I recently completed a mini-course that had us tally for how many plant based foods we ate in a week. They said to aim for a minimum of 25. I felt proud that my number was 35. This included nuts, grains, fruits, and vegetables. I like the idea of the rainbow and will give that a try this week. Thanks for this!4

Not a big exercise day but hit my minimum 30 minutes walking and did my morning meditation & stretching. Brutal winds today and the trees (and their leaf pollen) are waking up. Snow threatened for tomorrow so good times all around 🤧🥶😑

I'm going to call today a pass day - was making a bunch different dishes/desserts (not the rainbow!) and had little tastes here and there for seasoning. I'm pretty sure it was enough to put me over.4 -
Tues April 26
Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong (so good to get back to it!)
Tracking: Planned the day, adjusted plan as needed
Calories: Under, with estimation for leftover birthday cake that I am unsure about
I'm going to count it as not a pass day, because I really need a win. It's been all pass days since Fri April 15.
@StayFITTer I love that rainbow! I have a veggies at every meal rule (even breakfast). And I eat a fruit for lunch "dessert" and for afternoon snack (and morning snack as well if I have one).
This time of year, though, I am really in a veggie/food rut. I love to eat local food and it's still a while before anything grows. I eat a lot of frozen veg and then we do get some non-local fresh but it's all not as good. I am eagerly awaiting asparagus ... at which point I probably won't be eating a rainbow, just asparagus for every meal until its short season is done.
But I am thinking that maybe part of the inspiration I need is to try to eat more good food, rather than trying to eat less bad food. So I am going to really think about eating a rainbow for the next week - starting tomorrow, since I already have today planned. Though, let's see, what do I have planned today...
Breakfast omelet:spinach or broccoli (green)
Lunch: Lentil soup (with tomatoes and onions in it) over cauliflower (red, white) and cantaloupe (orange)
Snack: Mango and cottage cheese (more orange)
Dinner: Salmon with butternut squash, mushrooms, broccoli, sugar snap peas, asparagus, fermented ginger carrots (orange, white, green)
A lot of orange today, huh?4 -

1 pass day taken
I don’t know what happened to Tuesday? I’m writing this on Thursday morning. I obviously forgot to post Tuesday evening, then on Wednesday morning I was busy getting ready to go out for the day.
Great opener @StayFITTer. I do get lots of freggies every day and strangely, yesterday I listened to a short radio program (while in the car) about the benefits of beetroot. But in order to really see these benefits it was suggesting eating 2 or 3 beets every day! You would be buying them by the sackful.

I’m a rubbish cheerleader – out all day Wednesday and busy today, so here are some shout-outs to those who are finding it difficult but sticking with it:
@jjjcat – get well soon!
@1stplace4health – I hope the fasting experiment is giving you the results you want.
@ashleycarole – great exercising!
@calvin20874 – birthdays are a good use of a pass day
@enlightenme3 – those tastes are so tempting!
@Elbee1 – you’re still checking in, and tracking that’s good.
@bookieNJ – snacking is so difficult to resist some days, but you keep checking in.
@seilidhe – two out of three is good, you can be a Champion!

I can't say that I do a very good job of eating the "rainbow", but I do try to get a wide variety of freggies! (Who came up with that word "freggies" are few months ago here in this group - does anyone remember?)
Anyways, terrific opener!!!
@Mts_Hoffer yep, I introduced group to “freggies” because I got tired of pecking out “fruits & vegetables” on my phone! 🤣😂
Three days ago, I prepped all veggies so we have a salad bar in the fridge. I had forgotten that I used to do this. Makes eating a delicious salad so easy!
Then I remembered that I used an app to give me a real time calorie surplus or deficit & used that to help me figure out if I was really hungry or not.
