eat more fresh fruit and vegetables

i feel so much healthier when i do this. for me it’s about preparation and making sure that there is always fresh fruit and cut vegetables around. it takes more work than i thought to do this…it’s so much more convenient to eat packaged food. how sad!

With regularly eating fruit and veggies now for over 5 months I’m chalking this one up as done.

a bean salad and a fruit salad for lunch.
Every day this week I have had vegetables and fruit during the day at work and I have vowed to get back on track with my eating habits as of Monday.

For 11 days now I have been eating more fresh fruit and vegetables. In fact for 11 days I have cut out all processed foods from my diet – lost over an inch from my hips and am starting to feel better physically for it to.

But I still snack on quite a bit of health-food junk-food. (You know, tortilla chips and ginger candies.) These are great, but Mother Nature’s original snack foods (and by that I mean fruit) have been a nice addition to my diet.

Mondays I bring 5 pieces of fruit to work and line them up on my shelf like the fabulous buffet they are. They taste good, and they look good too!

But it seems like mother nature’s looking out for me there.

I’ve been making it a habit to eat watermelon and grapes every day – now I look forward to morning and afternoon teas.

I’m kidding myself into thinking that hot potato chips count as vegetables LOL. Better start working on the vegetable intake now that we have the fruit undercontrol.
Actually I think I’m having 5 fruit and 2 veg instead of 2 fruit and 5 veg a day

Now that it is grape season the fresh fruit is on the increase. I have eaten grapes for lunch for the past 3 days and it’s working a treat. rock melon and water melon will be added to the menu shortly. by the end of the season I might be sick of them

I’ve got the bowel movements to prove it!!
