One of the great things about my school is that we get to eat in the cafeteria. Every day, these wonderfully sweet ladies cut up beautiful fresh veggies just so I can have a crisp, yummy salad. Isn't that the nicest thing?
Today we also had a potato bar so I had a baked potato to go with my salad. I'm counting that as 3 veggies, though it was probably slightly more.
Though I usually stop and get a sandwich on my way back from class (the drive takes about 1 hour & 20 minutes), today I decided to wait until I got home to eat. And guess what? I didn't starve! For my late night dinner, I had a bowl of cereal with bananas and blueberries (2+ servings of fruit)--bringing me to 5 and almost 6 green choices for the day.
For me, focusing on what I get to eat is much more motivating than thinking about what I should avoid. But here's the thing: when I'm focusing on my five, I don't eat as much junk. How 'bout that?
Let me know how it's working for you.
Increasing fruits and veggies!
