Didn't get to blog yesterday (wait, is blog a verb? doubt it) because I was at the college until weehours:30. But I had my 5 fruits/veggies yesterday and again today. Woot!
So here's the thing. It's really not that hard. Well, not if I'm thinking about it. The problem is I usually don't make the effort and so I get to the end of the day and can't remember anything I've eaten that came from the ground. But if I'm making healthy choices a priority, it's a piece of cake. (Well, you know what I mean.)
By tonight, I'd only had three fruits and needed to squeeze in one more (the puns are just everywhere, aren't they). I fixed myself a cup of applesauce (which = 2 servings) and heated it up in the microwave. I was cold, you see, so I didn't feel like eating a cold something. It was great. And filling too which always surprises me, frankly.
It surprises me because so many times I wander around my kitchen eating first one thing and then the next, trying to find something satisfying. "Handful of chocolate chips? Good, but no, that's not what I want after all. Cookie? Yum. But not what I was needing. How 'bout some ice cream? Yeah that's the ticket. I'll have some more. Now just a little something salty to cap it off. . . . Nachos?"
Crazy.
So applesauce is satisfying? Who knew?
Looking to day 4 as I decrease grazing,
