Oh good! I was at the farmers' market on Sunday and was near a mom and daughter for a little bit and I guess they haven't been since the winter and the little girl was just blown away by how many fruits and vegs there were and by how many kinds. The mom said something like, "Yes. This is a GREAT month to come!!!"
I don't know what it looks like in WI... but I just thought that it was soooo SAD that we are just starting the BEST fruit (and veg, but not as much) months of the year... and you had one cup of broc planned for the whole day.

B: saltines and small oj, small milk (I was feeling a bit off after a day of food out and travel- I am feeling more normal now.) S: 2 c green grapes- no need to be sad today, Denise L: mixed green salad with chicken and 1/4 c currants S: milk tea D: quinoa, veggie, vinigrette w 1 oz feta.
6:30am toast, smart bal, 1 TBS jam Coffee, 1/2 oz half and half

ds has closed all of the windows, as it is smokey outside . Don't think that I will exercise today. But good news is that I cleaned for a couple of hours, that I normally would have gone to Y.

Yup-- I am out - and I am not getting to the store today.
That is so sad!
What we have in fridge for the week: 13 nectarines 8 apricot 1 pineapple 1 watermelon 2 things of strawberries (ds) 2 bags of grapes (ds) 3 bananas (plus 1 in the freezer)
3 ears of corn 5 eggplant brocolli cauliflower celery cole slaw cabbage gr. onions tomatoes squash 2 bags baby carrots
I did have more... but we've eaten quite a bit yesterday and today.
I guess I'll clean out the veg drawers & shelves while it is all pulled out of the fridge.
PS found 3 small cooked sweet potaoes, and 1 rotten half of an avocado. That is sooooo good... that out of all the vegs and fruits that I've been buying in the past 4-5 weeks... only one half of an avocado that got shoved to the back was rotten!
And remembered a bunch of potatoes... not in fridge.

Monday- I ate my planned food plus dd made a plate of raisins and cut up LARA bars as a treat for us. I ate about half of the plate- I am guessing 250-350 calories.
Tomorrow I am out of town. I'll be eatin gout for L and D. I'll post Wednesday morning.

Yup-- I am out - and I am not getting to the store today. I turned all my berries into jam yesterday.
But, I have been eating 2-3-4 serving of fruit most days. The fruit is good these days.
P.S. I WAY, WAY prefer to eat veggies than fruits. A salad turns me on more than a bowl of fruit. Dh and dd would rather eat fruit. I have to plan and use disclipline to get fruit in 4-5 days per week. I used to manage to get it in only 2-3 days per week. I shoot for at least 10 servings of fruit per week. Many weeks I am over that, but I use 10 servings as a minimum.

In late June... you have a day planned with NO fruit? ZERO fruit??? I can't imagine!!!! The fruit is so good (at least here, in CA... land of fruits and nuts) I'm having trouble eating 4 pieces/servings a day... because I really want to eat more like 5 or 7 servings. Doing fine holding back on the nuts... but OMG... so many fruits... so little time.
Sunday 6:30am toast, smart bal, Coffee, half and half
9am milk, oatmeal
11am bologna sandwich
2pm banana, nectarine smoothie apricot
5pm Dessert: Key Lime Pie… but didn’t have limes, but have about 90 make that 900 lemons in the back yard… so it would be California Lemon Pie. OMG… it was sooooo goooood! I cut the recipe in half and made 3 individual servings our of 4 servings. I used 1 can ff condensed milk and ¼ cup of low fat sour cream, and ¼ cup of lemon juice and graham cracker crust… and it EXACTLY filled three 6 oz pyrex glass baking cups… and it was 684 calories per serving. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Key-Lime-Pie-VII/Detail.aspx
5:40pm I think about 20 baby carrots. I ate them mindlessly on the couch while reading. Life is too short to worry about mindlessly eaten carrots. I was also hungry and my family were not.
7pm, burgers, blue cheese, bun, trimmings, non alcoholic beer
Ugggg…. We are having a heat wave and it was 102 degrees at 5pm and we don’t have AC… and I couldn’t bear to make dinner, so I got a giant sub sandwich. I didn’t really eat 3 sandwiches… just trying to guesstimate the calories...
Nectarine crumble w/ ice cream
EDIT: Nelson and Jamie brought me 3/4 of a mcdonald's cone at 9pm (Jamie ate 1/4 in the car and it was so hot yesterday, it was a drippy mess when he handed it to me.). They whined all through dessert that the serving of ice cream was too small... even though that is the size I have been serving for years now. ) I wished they had called and asked first... as I would have said no... but when it was handed to me, "Here." I ate it.
