30 Day Challenge Weekly Check In

Goal: 5 or more fruits and veggies per day.
Week - January 12 - January 18


This week was the hardest. We had two snow/cold days on Thursday and Friday, so no school. Also, eating more fruits/veggies has side effects I had not anticipated. I was fine until Friday when I became a little stir crazy and bored and didn't want to eat the same selections ONE MORE DAY! I ended up only having one fruit that day but ventured out in the cold weather and bought more fruit to add to the mix.


All in all: 5 good days - 2 bad.

The 30 Day Challenge

Each year HipWriterMama does a 30 challenge to help all of us kick off the New Year in style. You decide on a goal and you check in with her weekly. In this Year of Me, I want to eat more fruits and vegetables. I normally have fruit with breakfast and some veggie with dinner and that's it...two servings. Experts recommend 5 - 9 servings.



My goal is to each at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables. I'm going to do this buy adding fruit to my lunch, and snacking on fruit instead of chocolate! I can see this will have many benefits! Since I have breakfast at 6:30 and lunch at 12:15, I can use a mid morning snack and then I'm usually home by 5:30 or 6:00 which leaves time for a late afternoon snack.



This first week I bought some single serving packs of craisins, some apples and bananas, and I always eat fruit with breakfast. I just need to decide how to incorporate more veggies.



I'm working on it. Any ideas?
