Eat more fruits and vegetables

I’ve eaten fresh vegetables, berries and / or fruits every day now. Well, it hasn’t been that many days yet, but I believe I can make this a habit.

blackberries + blueberries + chopped mint + .5tsp sugar + limejuice = delicious!

We joined a CSA for this summer, and so we’re getting a lot of vegetables. Right now I’m buried under insane amounts of lettuce. However, this is encouraging me to try new recipes, because plain salad gets really old really fast. It’s helping with the veggie-eating!

After a several week hiatus due to vacation/work travel, it’s time to get serious about tracking this goal again.

Su: 2 cups watermelon, 1 cup peppers/onion/tomato/spinach
M: 1 cup raw carrots, 1/2 cup peppers/onion/tomato/spinach, 1 cup cherries
Tu: 1 can tomato soup, tomato sauce on pizza, 2 cups watermelon
W: 1 cup raw carrots, 1 cup watermelon, 1/2 cup peppers/onion/tomato/spinach

<3 berries <3

Haven’t even been tempted to binge the last couple days cause the fridge is full of strawberries, blueberries, cherries.

New rule to combat my binge eating: I may snack on all the raw fruits and veggies that I want. I may eat from noon to night as long as it’s raw fruits and veggies.

First change what I’m eating and then change how, I think.

I think I need to do more things like include berries on my cereal, go to the trouble of making a side salad with dinner, etc. Now that it’s hot, I’d like to make more smoothies, etc. as well. This recipe for watermelon agua fresca looks pretty good:
