Storing Fresh Veggie's/Herbs
What is the best way to store fresh fruits, veggies, herbs? I'm trying to shop for the week, and find that by day 4 or 5 my veggies start to go bad.

Ruddy face?
Since I started working out again last week, I've noticed my face always seems red/ruddy. Mostly just my cheeks. I'm also breaking out on my face more.

Am I eating enough??
My personal calorie goal is 1200 per day.. today I hit 899, but then gained 309 from excersicing? So I'm really at 509 calories for the day I guess? The 899 was from 3 full meals, I really almost feel stuffed so I'm wondering if this is a problem or not??
