Monday and Tuesday - Heading to October

I did really good on Monday.  The new weekly challenge is a doozy for me - eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies.  I did it Monday, but will fail miserably today.

I kept my calories at 1250 on Monday, and had 5 servings of the good stuff - but honestly, I felt deprived.  I can honestly say I'm a refined sugar addict, and it was challenging to replace a granola bar with a piece of fruit for me.  And veggies - I need to put high calorie stuff on them for me to like them.  Sometimes I wish I had no taste buds so I could more easily make choices I know are good for me.

On Monday I ate:
1)  1/2 Grapefruit
2)  Banana
3)  Arugula salad
4)  Applesauce
5)  I blended tomato sauce with pureed carrots to make a vegetarian lasagna - heavy on the garlic and cheese

Tuesday - well, it's been a rough day

The typhoon that hit over the weekend has caused water damage in my bedroom - and I'm waiting on an estimator to assess the damage and figure out how to fix it.  I want to eat a chocolate cake - but have none in my house.  It's saved me honestly... my caloric intake has been on the low side.  But I've made no effort for the fruits and veggies - nothing satisfying about them to me.  It's definitely been a granola bar day.

Off to make Jambalaya for dinner.
