We got off to a good start, carefully weighing out endless portions of carrots and broccoli and lettuce. Thank heavens for watermelon, which weighs in well...
Challenges this month:
* packing lunches for work-- not used to so much chopping in the morning!
* getting in enough fruit-- this one surprises me a bit as I tend to think that I like fruit. But I am never motivated to just eat an apple or a banana. If someone would purchase, prepare and keep on hand a fruit salad, heavy on the berries, I'd have no problem eating a half pound a day...
Perks:
* Four pounds of Christmas weight are off! Could be the fact that I've been back to the gym three times a week, or it could be that I find I really do have less room for all the other parts of the meal, after eating a bushel of greens.
* I think my skin is evened out a bit. Not too many other drastic physical changes to note but one does feel healthier as one crunches away on broccoli florets and cucumber on the drive home...
Goals moving forward:
* Keeping up the good work! Trying trying trying to make this a habit.
* Weigh out the daily fruit and introduce more variety to make that part work.
* Try some cooked greens as a part of mealtimes
* Pay more attention to the eating choices around the veggies-- watch the sweets, less meat, etc. Nothing drastic, just keeping up the consciousness for these next 11 days...
