The Great Vegetable Challenge, my 2011 resolution
So in the last few years I've skipped making solid New Year's resolutions because I typically don't accomplish too many of them. This year I decided to keep it simple. I will eat more vegetables. Why? Oh the reasons are many...I don't eat enough fruits and vegetables, I'm attempting to lose weight, and I want to be a healthy role model for my almost 9 month old daughter. So how have I been doing? Pretty good I think, I've been taking carrot sticks and apples for snacks to work, I try to incorporate a serving of vegetables into my lunch and dinner. Overall I'm getting four servings of vegetables a day...yes I know we're supposed to have five but I still give myself credit for upping that from 1. So far I've noticed that my stomach feels better...I have GERD. I am not as hungry during the day while I'm at work so I'm avoiding bad snacking. So the challenge continues...oh yeah and I've lost four pounds this month...not a bad side effect from a simple resolution!
