My Fruitive Challenge: Day 28 — Sharing Snacks

-

 I read that I shouldn’t be surprised if my family is influenced in healthy ways to eat like me. I find that to be true in many ways. In my car my kids were helping themselves to my bag of raw no-salt mix of fruit and nuts snack and my big family sized bag of dried mango slices. I was tempted to say “mine!” But, of course, I shared. I’m taking note of what they will and won’t eat. I’m surprised that they don’t prefer apples unless they’re pre-cut with peanut butter or even bananas unless there’s nothing else to snack on. Even more, it’s rare to see them eating vegetables! 🥗 But if they’re washed and cut and convenient to snack on, I’ll see my kids snacking on veggies too.

I went out of the way today to take the girls to a park to play while I got some steps in. What a good workout! I think I’ll add this to my weekly routine!

I’m excited to begin my Fruitive Challenge today! It’s a big leap of faith because I had never imagined myself committing to a 100% Whole Foods Plant Based diet! But here I am doing it.

I have been pretty worried about that part of the plan because I love my salt, oil, and sugar, but I have to say that I had a really good first day of it. I ate fresh fruit for breakfast, rice and salad for lunch, and a rice and beans bowl for dinner. The trick for me is to add a variety of no salt seasonings to taste and to toss in a mix of vegetables including avocado. I had one mishap worth mentioning though

We signed up with Shipt for grocery-getting. It's our first time and it feels luxurious! I could get used to this! Like the first time I felt When Grubhub delivered me a hamburger, But better. Hey, the Shipt employee just texted me. She's on her way. Wait. A breaking update from News 8: "Shipt: Meijer team members at 3 stores test positive for COVID-19" Me: Uhh. Laura: She's here! Stand back. Don't touch. Smile. Say thank you. Wave goodbye. Spray the bags. Wipe the groceries clean. Did you get the receipt? Maybe we can return the COVID-19 For some in-store credit? For now, let's get dinner ready And eat nutritiously! A crown of luxury indeed Fit for a king and queen! I can't get used to this.
