eat more raw fruit and vegetables

Started eating a baggie of cut up carrots and celery on the way to work. And home… I’m a little over full and bloated now from muching so much raw fruits and veggies, and chugging water all day. But I feel good about having around 5 servings today. Had mandarin oranges with cottage cheese for break fast, carrots and celery on the way to work, a banana at work, and apple on the way home, and the rest of the carrots and celery. Gonna try for the same tomorrow. Minus the stomach discomfort…

Carrots and Red Bell pepper with Hummus. SO delicious. And a heap of steamed broccoli with dinner. Although it kinda defeats the porpoise of this goal…. it still counts for something.

Today. They are just the perfect food. And had some carrot sticks…. I think that’s all of my fresh fruits and veggies for the day. I just got some fresh spinach and want to try and eat some everyday. And I’ll start writing it all down here…

I have been eating some dried fruit and nuts for snacks, which may be stretching the “raw” part. But have also been eating baby carrots and grapes. We will go on a road trip in September where this will really be tested, it is just too easy to eat at McDonalds. )-:

With all of the “convenience foods” available it is easy to do things the quick way, to just pop a TV dinner into the microwave and not worry about shopping for something that needs to be properly cared for. Today however I am eating oatmeal for breakfast, along with grapes and a grapefruit. My wife has been away taking care of our daughter and new granddaughter, so I have been left on my own. When I am the only one eating it is easy to not eat properly.
