eat more fruit

Today, as a belated birthday present, my small siblings gave me an apple corer/slicer/peeler. It’s a fantastic contraption… It looks like something out of the 19th century- you shove your apple on, wind away at the handle and suddenly you have an apple spiral. Makes eating apples so much fun!

I am going to try to go to the supermarket everyday and buy some fruit. Different sorts of fruit so that I don’t get bored. I bought some grapes today. Tomorrow, I will buy a fig. I don’t know if figs from the supermarket are nice, but I will find out. Maybe another day I will buy a mango. I must eat more fruit.

I’ve been eating a lot of grapefruit recently and pink lady apples with my breakfast, but it’s probably still not up to the recommended amount per day. I need to vary things a bit more. Might be easier when summer comes and the fruit gets more exciting.

I’m getting better at remembering to buy and eat fruit, but I’m still not having some every day. I’m going to make an extra-specially big effort when I’m travelling because I really don’t want to get sick.

2 mandarins today!

I bought a pomegranate yesterday and I made myself a big banana smoothie today… I need to try to keep eating at least one piece of fruit a day. The Australian government recommendation is 2 fruit and 5 veg, but I figure that if I aim for 1 fruit, it’s better than none. Somehow getting fruit into me is more of an effort than the veges.

I have been sick lately, so am forcing myself to eat more fruit. Only boring mandarins at the moment, but that’s better than nothing.

no fruit today :( And I should have had some because I’m not feeling that great. But I had a pomegranate yesterday. That was fun. Pomegranates both taste good and provide entertainment…

I bought some strawberries but they were expensive and fairly tasteless. There just doesn’t seem to be much good fruit available at the moment.

Strawberries are coming into season. I should make an effort to get some tomorrow because I really need to up my fruit intake.
