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.
