This challenge somehow did not really register with me. I consider myself a pretty healthy eater already so I had a hard time forcing myself to track my veggie intake when it just came so naturally anyways. I guess I'll be giving an honest estimate for my points. I did make a few soups and (spinach) smoothies to ensure I got my 4, but I did find it hard to keep track of servings when I tend to eat fast while multitasking with 4 little ones and then eating off their plates to not waste. Oh, I did try the kale chips and they were really good! Even my 6 year old liked them! Exercise continues to be my weakness. (sigh.) Well, I'm still sticking with it and trying to get it done. Oh, and Angela, my points from last week aren't up. I had a problem with my e-mail for a few days and might have missed the e-mail to submit points like the first week, but I did send you a personal e-mail with my points. Did you get it and can you add them or do I need to add them somehow? I'm tired of looking at my sad 37 points. While I'm still the highest underachiever in the group, I'm doing a tad better than 37. Looking forward to next week!
So sorry Amanda, I read your email while holding a crying Adele and didn't act on that. I need to stop reading emails while doing other things. They're up now! and I think you're fantastic for keeping on keepin'
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way, Amanda! I found it awkward to measure my veggie intake, but I wanted to be sure I got in all of my servings. Also, I do like veggies but for some reason took the opportunity to try some new recipes, which were kind of disastrous. It definitely wasn't my favorite week. The only thing I tried that worked was the kale chips and my son also ate them! Crazy! I guess I'll be making those again. I guess that was one big positive from last week - my son ate a lot more veggies because he saw Mom scarfing them down all the time.
