Tuesday!! Who's in the Challenge?
Had my usual fresh berries on my oats this morning and will have a fresh salad with lots of veggies and topped with chicken left from last night, for lunch. I don't know about dinner but am up for suggestions. But, it's gotta be easy because i am teaching Spin after work and have to throw together dinner after class. :)…
Have a Fruitful Monday ~ Roll Call
SOem of you wrote to me privately about the challenge and that you are doing this. I think it's great but would be even GREATER if you would post in here so others can gain support from you all (and you can from each other). Plus, we can give each other ideas on ways to get in more fruits and veggies. On the docket for me…
Time for Another Fruit and Veggie Challenge!
Well, it;s the first week of July and it's been a while since the last fruit and veggie challenge. The challenge is to eat at least 4-5 servings of fruits and veggies EVERY day for...... say the month of July. While I don't currently log my cals, I will post on here that I (hopefully) reached the goal on fruits & veggies.…
I need YOU to motivate ME today ~ Not in the Healthy Eating
Yeah..... I just don't feel like it. I will do it but I really don't feel like it. How do you all get past the humps on those rainy days, when things like mac & cheese call your name?
Raw Veggies!!!
I am finding that raw veggies are the most filling, plus they have all their nutrients still and it burns more cals to break them down. :) I love my big salad in the afternoon and sometimes can;t even finish it - always topped with some lean form of protein. Just had a nice juicy grapefruit, all chopped up in my soup mug,…
How Did Everyone Do on Fruits and Veggies Today?
I still need to get 1 or 2 more in. Gonna cut up some fresh pineapple now. Mmmmmm! :)
National Peanut Butter Day - How does this fit in?
Hey Guys - So I just heard it's National Peanut Butter Day! Not, not a fruit or veggie but a nice little protein topper for fruits and veggies, in moderation. Here's a link to a cute little apple sandwich with PB that I use to make for my son after games. If you try it, measure!!! Remember, peanut butter is a really good…
And We Begin Again - Monday Fruit & Veggies :)
How did everyone do over the weekend? I didn't do so good on eating good Saturday night. But, I did get all my servings of fruits and veggies in and know it would have been worse otherwise. Things that do not count (at least not for our purposes): popCORN, french fries, potatoes are questionable as they will not help with…
Saturday Veggie Check :)
I got my 5 servings in with blueberries with breakfast, veggie stir fry for lunch, apple pear for afternoon snack (first I ever heard of these - delish!), fresh tossed salad and eggplant for dinner. :) Will probably have a banana before bed. How's everyone doing?
Day 6 - Is it Getting Easier?
I'm starting to enjoy finding new ways to incorporate fruits and veggies into my diet and I really like the length of my food diary now. I am never really hungry, other than just out of boredom or a chocolate craving. I made a super veggie stir fry last night and mixed it up with orzo - huge serving was only a little over…
