How to eat more fruits and veggies
It made me
feel goooood!
 "It's a process, man."
How I did it: I thought this was going to take me longer, but turned out to be pretty easy. I made it a goal to have have at least two servings of fruit/ veggies each day.. For example, for breakfast, I'd have a piece of fruit with whatever else I was eating. And for lunch, I'd have a salad with whatever else I was eating. Lessons & tips: I think the hardest part of this is the initial step- actually starting to eat fruits/ veggies- but once I got over that hump, I realized how good it made me feel, so I wanted to do it again. Resources: Tasty dressings, fresh produce, peanut butter (good on apples & bananas).

How I did it: Started to grocery shop more. This lead me to remember how good and healthy fruit is. Vegetables came a little later. I got more into salads so I just started to eat salads as snacks when I did not want to cook. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I made the conscious decision to buy more fresh fruits and veggies. Beyond that, I take time to wash, cut, slice, dice and bag as soon as I bring the goodies home. This prevents the foods from sitting in the crisper til past their prime.As always, I find that when I eat the proper, recommended amount of fruits and veggies per day, I am so stuffed and full that I don't have room for all the other temptations that come my way.

Summer fruit

I’ve definitely been eating a lot more fruits and veggies since the summer began. I feel like I have accomplished this goal but I don’t want to take it off in case I forget.
Seriously though, having a bunch of apples in the fridge really helps because they taste awesome and you can take it to go. I always have one on my way to work.

My work cube, aptly named the Disco Corner, is a veggie patch today as I work toward my goal of eating more fruits and vegetables every day. Today I have a salad (spinach, iceburg, romaine) with a side order of fresh veggies like carrots, broccoli, mushrooms. Grapes and strawberries for dessert.
I’ve found that when I make these available, I eat more. Now days, I make sure that I have fresh pineapple cut, berries washed, grapes plucked, oranges peeled . . . I have broccoli washed, carrots sliced and tiny little grape tomatoes bagged up and ready to go.
While my little one won’t eat most veggies . . . he is a fruit fiend so that at least is a consolation.

Bought lots of fresh fruit at the market tonight and spent a good portion of the evening washing, chopping, cutting. My ‘fridge looks quite organized . . . with tubs of strawberries, oranges, grapes and, the best . . . yummy fresh pineapple. I’ve always loved fresh pineapple but never bought it. It wasn’t nearly as messy as I thought it would be. . . the worst part was my little one sitting across the bar saying . . . ‘One more piece Mom, just one more piece, PLEASE!’
We have snacks ready as we need them this w/end and if necessary, I’ll go to the market again on Monday. We’re all kinda fruity you know.
