Tis the Season (for Fruits and Veggies)
June 10, 2009
I love this time of year when fresh fruits and vegetables are in season — there is such a good variety to choose from and everything tastes so much better when it’s fresh picked. We just finished strawberry season but cherries and blueberries are in their peak and I’m eating my fair share.
The USDA recommends 10 servings of fruits and vegetables per day for a balanced diet. Are you meeting this goal? If you are like many Americans, you are falling short of the recommended servings but with all the great tasting fruits and veggies available, it’s a perfect time to make a dietary change. Read more
Hiatus is Over
June 10, 2009
Wow!! What a month it’s been — to all my loyal readers, I apologize for my absence this past month. I’m happy to say that my hiatus is over and I have a list of ideas to write about. I hope you are all doing well and finding ways to incorporate healthy habits into your daily routine.
During the month of may, I took a couple of weeks off to re-energize and eliminate stressors in my life. After that, my son came for a visit and brightened our house for a week. We don’t get to see him nearly enough. My dad also came out for a visit and it was a very special time as he had not been to see us since we moved to North Carolina.
The summer season is almost here and my herb garden is producing more than I can use. I’ve already taken one big bunch of dill and basil to the office to share with my co-workers. The pepper plants are coming along nicely but it will be awhile before we have any fruit.
I still struggle to get into a regular exercise routine but I ride my bike and walk when I can. The good news is that I’ve dropped a few more pounds and have maintained a healthy meal plan. 46 pounds lost so far and I feel better than ever.
I look forward to your continued comments and support.
Cheryl
