Eat8: Fall in Love with Made-A-Head Meals (Especially on Mondays), Stick to Your ‘Prep Plan’

Share|Produce Tally & What Worked for Mon. Feb 6th Goal: 8 servings | Actual: 7 servings What worked today to help me eat more fruits and vegetables: Freezer full of produce-based made-a-head items: I knew going into the weekend that I wouldn’t have time to do any meal prep this weekend (Saturday spent with friends and Sunday being the Superbowl).  I did look through my freezer on Sunday morning and decide which frozen made-a-head items I could use to keep me going on Monday until I had more time for prep and getting to the store. Stuck to my ‘prep plan’: Yesterday I posted a link to a 7-day meal plan template that I’d love to share with...

Sharp and Ready: The Start of Perfectly Produce

Share|We Are All Accountable to Each Other The reason I started Perfectly Produce is because when I grew-up I wanted to be a fiction writer. This is the same answer I gave on my first day of graduate school – I want to be a fiction writer.  I wanted to experience the true reason for health – to live from a place of creativity, selflessness, and contribution.  My expression of this was going to be through writing.  But first, I needed to ensure the health part so that I would be sharp and ready.

Share|Produce Tally & What Worked for Tues. Dec. 20th Goal: 8 servings | Actual: 7 What worked today to help me eat more fruits and vegetables: Ensured extra produce at breakfast & lunch because I knew dinner options would be limited Used produce-rich left-over soup for breakfast Tracked actual intake – being accountable to my goal motivated me to replace my usual sprouted tortilla that I have with my homemade baked tofu for 6 cups of mixed leafies. It was so much better as a salad! Sources: Breakfast: 2 servings 1/2 c. juice (+1); 1.5 c. left-over Chicken White Bean Soup (+1) Lunch: 4 servings 6 c. leafies (+2); 1 banana (+2) Dinner: 1...

Eat8: Left-overs for Breakfast | Accountability

Posted on Dec 20, 2011 | 0 comments

Share|Produce Tally & What Worked for Mon. Dec. 19th Goal: 8 servings | Actual: 9 I enjoyed day 1 success of exceeding my goal to eat more fruit and vegetable servings because….I was accountable to telling you! By lunch, I only had 4 servings.  A festive holiday dinner of yummy cheese and crackers was on the menu prior to me introducing Eat 8 yesterday. What worked today to help me eat more fruits and vegetables: Left-overs (and love of warm & savory) for breakfast – I bulk cooked 2 soups on Sunday and will enjoy the simplicity of heat-and-go breakfasts all week! Accountability – knowing I was going to post what I ate allowed me to rethink just having...
