Last week was spring break and I think I might have become a bit lazy in my goal last week. I ate out a lot last week, which means I didn't eat a lot of fruits and veggies. When I take the effort to prepare my own meals, even if it's a simple sandwich I take great pains to make sure that I'm getting my 4-6 servings of fruits and veggies for the day. However, when I'm eating out, I'm not typically concerned with scanning the menu for items with fruits and veggies. As a result, last week I was down to 2 servings of fruits and veggies per day with a banana for breakfast and perhaps an apple for a snack each day. On the bright side, at least I didn't completely go off track, just lower than my usual fruits and veggies intake.
I did notice a difference this week overall as far as my energy level, etc. as a result of not having the 4-6 servings of fruits and veggies I have been accustomed to these last couple months. I found myself losing energy throughout the day and just feeling out of sorts. I have definitely experienced the benefits of having fruits and veggies and I'm determined to keep it up. This week is going to be different though, because I've already done my grocery shopping, which included LOTS of fruits and veggies, which will all be consumed...I promise! :D :D
