About a month ago I noticed that few fruits and veggies were finding their way onto my plate. A change in my eating habits was in order,

which I know from experience is a very difficult thing to do. To get the support and inspiration I needed, I decided to publicly announce my commitment to include more fruits and veggies in my diet. I challenged myself – and you! – to eat NINE fruits and veggies every day for one week. The feedback I got was terrific – apparently I’m not the only one who could stand to add more “dirt candy” to her diet. And so we became a community of fruit-n-veggie eatin’ fools!
I did pretty well for that week –eating anywhere from 6-9 veggies each day, which was a huge improvement for me. And yet the romance of striving to eat nine fruits and veggies a day eventually subsided and (just speaking for myself of course) eventually my eating habits went back to the way that they were. And so here we are a month later and again I’m looking at my diet and again seeing lots of room for improvement.
I am a work in progress.
I’ve decided that for each week through the end of the year, I will challenge myself to foster healthy eating and living habits. Each week I will have a new focus. This is just my way of keeping myself engaged and inspired in the process. I hope you’ll join me! The more the merrier, I say, and so I’ve set up a separate page where YOU can share how you are meeting your healthy living goals. Why not support and inspire each other?
An Apple a Day
For the next week, Friday to Friday, I intend to eat at LEAST one apple each day. Now this will not be too difficult given that I absolutely adore Honeycrisp apples and I’ve been stockpiling them over the last month or so. But can I be sure to eat at least one apple every day? Can you?
Who’s in? How will you make sure to eat at least one apple a day? Leave your comments on the new Friday Inspiration page.
