Hey everyone!
I hope everyone had a great 3 day weekend! It's time for my weekly update! This week's theme is challenges...we've all faced them at some point in trying to achieve a goal. I've faced some challenges in my attempt to increase my fruits and veggies intake while simultaneously decreasing my "snacking" habits. One situation in particular was after a particularly long day in which I had 2 classes back to back and a group project meeting afterwards. During these long days I usually bring a snack with me or have lunch to sustain me so I don't go on a food binge when I get home! On this day i forgot to bring snacks so I got super hungry at the end of the day and by the time I got home, I was not ready to contemplate how to incorporate veggies in my food. I ended up picking up Chipotle (which does have some veggies, but the caloric content probably counters that). Plus, cooked veggies lose a lot of their nutritional value when you cook them. I did learn my lesson and went to Trader Joe's the next day and stocked up on some healthy snacks (carrot sticks, strawberries, & some cashews/almonds). I'm now prepared for those crazy days that leave me eating anything in sight!
