Fruits and Veggies.

I tend to have fluctuations with my consumption of fruits and vegetables. I did really well with eating moderate amounts of fruits and lots of vegetables during the first three weeks of October, I have noticed that I have kind of slowly eaten less and less. I have challenges with raw vegetables and usually try to cook them (no big deal)- sometimes I feel like I am going to gag when I eat raw carrots. I would like to maintain about four cups of raw and cooked vegetables a day. I think I am eating around two cups right now. 

I notice that the more vegetables I eat, the more weight I lose. I also notice that my satisfaction level with food is higher when I incorporate fruits (only fresh). So, I am basically just trying to recommit to eating fruits and veggies and continuing to try to balance out my food intake. 

It is around noon right now and I am going to get ready and go to the grocery store to buy some fruits (I have plenty of vegetables at home). I am also going to go to the gym today, even though I did yesterday. I add another level of confidence when I go above and beyond my goals and that is what it is all about!
