Getting more veggies into your diet!

This afternoon I went to the grocery store and picked up some food as well as some tupperware containers. When we were kids, my Dad always cleaned and chopped up veggies for us and kept them in the fridge with the hope that having them ready for us like that would encourage us to eat them. Only 20 or so years later here I am really appreciating his effort and idea. Today I bought:

-carrots

-broccoli

-cauliflower

-radishes

-red + orange peppers

-broccoflower (craaazy right?!)

I cleaned them, chopped them and put them away into my fridge. Now they are ready for my stir fries, salads, and easily taken for lunches to snack on. I really think this is a good way to ensure that you will have a bunch of fresh veggies to eat for the week.

Eating healthy is all about preparation. It has nothing to do with will power, etc. If it is there, and it's all that is there, you didn't buy junk... you won't eat junk!!

I also bought other fruits and veggies in addition to this stuff. I really HATE washing lettuce, it's such a huge pain in the ass. I always buy pre-washed stuff that is ready to be thrown onto the side of my plate or into a container for lunches.
