I actually tried a simple thing the past few days ... in the bottom of my journal, just a column for Fruits (F) & a column for Veggies (V) ...the idea is to just mark it down when I've had a serving. We all know fruits & veggies are good for you... so I should have a whole lot of marks in these columns - right?
Just in the past few days, I've been shocked...
I think I had 1 mark next to Veggies on Wednesday...
Yesterday? Nothing... not one mark!... NOT ONE FREAKING FRUIT OR VEGGIE!!

| I need someone to do this to me apparently..... |
I made it through a whole day of not one fruit or vegetable going into my system...
Seriously?
I think I just saw where my problem is with my diet...
Especially being a vegetarian, I should be overloading those columns with marks...
I've never really thought about it all before... just sort of looked at calories & fat & sugar & protein... but everyone needs basic fruits & veggies. Isn't that enough to worry about?
Hoping this problem gets solved. I've printed my first week of Happy Herbivore menu for the week, highlighting my grocery list... & it DOES include lost of fruits & veggies...
let's hope next week is full of check marks...
How about you? You ever marked how many fruits & veggies you had in a day?
Would you be shocked too?
Hi - first time commenter, here. But I wanted to let you know you have motivated me to get out there and be more intentional about my running. And I've started keeping a food diary this year (two diaries, actually -- it's nuts). One is on loseit.com and is linked to a challenge with Panera Bread. The other is on MyFitnessPal and is linked to my Pact account (formerly known as GymPact). I made a pact with myself (and through Pact) to eat 7 fruits or veggies a week -- I know I'll eat more than that but Pact is an incentive program that pays me when I meet my Pact ... or charges me real-life money if I don't meet it. I'm poor and can't afford to be losing money just because I didn't eat an apple a day or a salad for lunch. Not sure if it will help you but I wanted to let you know about it. Sorry to have gone on for so long for my first comment -- I've been a blog-stalker but wanted to actually pipe in and comment this time. :)
