I’m studying nursing now – maybe someday I can teach that, but for now, online teaching is not a priority.

I’m doing well on this, mostly – things that helped are:
planning
buying lots of produce then working to use them up before they go bad
Using the microwave and vegetable steamer
Buying pre-washed and cut varieties
Planning meals so at least HALF the plate is veggies
One of my favorite meals now is a microwave-baked Sweet Potato, stuffed with veggies like spinach, steamed broccoli, etc, and a little grated parmesan on top. Yum!
Microwave-baked winter squash is awesome
Veggie pizzas
stir fry
veggie stuffed burritos
Lots of easy, quick ways to include more veggies (and fruits)

I ended up dropping the yoga class because I had a couple of weeks where I felt like I’d been to a bad chiropractor – not good. So I quit. I want to try pilates to see if I can’t strengthen my core first, then maybe later I’ll try yoga again, with a different instructor that isn’t so focused on headstands!
