A quick note to update more on my Hot 100 challenge - Hubby said today maybe he'd have to start losing weight. I was showing him how loose my wedding set is getting (not as loose as my birthday suit) and it made an impression on him.
Also, I did well last week on being in bed by 10. One night we stayed up late for a special occasion, but the rest I've done well on. So I'm drinking tons of water and getting lots of sleep, washing my hands a lot but still ended up sick. Bah. I need more fruit for sure. I let myself get frustrated because I can't digest the citrus well and that limits me, but that doesn't mean I can eat a boatload of bananas, pears, apples, and other fun fruits. Maybe it's time to try pomegranates and mangoes. Something else? What do you guys think?
I just saw pomegranate seeds in my grocery store! I did not realize you could buy it that way.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get to bed earlier.
ReplyDeleteAs for fruit, what about pineapple, peaches, watermelon,kiwi nectarines, plums, grapes, berries and guava?
How about frozen no-sugar-added berries? Add to smoothies, cereal, or cook down a little and use as a healthy pancake topping.
ReplyDeleteMy Kid loves dried mango, dried blackberries and dried blueberries, plus he also eats lots of pears, apples and bananas. Other than that, nothing. Still, it's a good variety.
I can't have much citrus either, especially pineapple (tears up my mouth). I get my vitamin C from strawberries (that frozen berry combo) and red bell peppers. Yum!

I agree with Vee about frozen berries..great superfood and *awesome* in smoothies.
ReplyDeleteI need to really work on my sleep. You're inspiring me to work on getting to bed earlier!
Got enough between yesterday and today to last a week after being in ER with a virus..blech!!!
I'm a new follower. Would love for you to check out my blog and follow back!!!
ReplyDeleteI think fruit is my happy food and I don't get why it's hard for you. Sweet juicy. Yummy stuff! I hate mangos. I like pomegranates, but they are a little work to get the fruit out. I can eat my weight in grapes and apples. Mmmm....dang it. I forgot my snack. Crap.
ReplyDeletePeaches, plums and tomatoes
ReplyDeleteDr - I know it *shouldn't* be hard for me, but after 40 years it's a new habit to even buy a lot of fruit and gauge how much we can eat before it goes all icky. I wasn't brought up with a lot of fruit and so I don't think of it all the time. Some of it I really enjoy, but not as much as chocolate of course. I'm getting there, it's just not as good as I'd like it to be just yet :) Do people REALLY eat 5 servings daily?
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome NSV!
