Not Enough Veggies....

I buy veggies religiously, but often I do not eat them. I am not sure why because I like them, and often I buy convenient ones that are already cut up in a bag, but sometimes, I don't know...I am lazy...

Exercise is not all about the physical labor or moving your body, sometimes it is also about the discipline to put in the effort to eat the 8 HG. I must make more of a conscientious effort to add veggies to what I eat...

So in order to do that today I grabbed a bunch of things in the refrigerator that I knew would be going bad soon and made some low fat dips for tonight's dinner and snack later this week. I made a radish dip and a spinach and artichoke dip....we will be eating these tonight with the flounder and crab I bought...

Tonights Menu:

Grilled Flounder in Lemon Butter Garlic Rub
Crab Cakes a la Core
Carrots and Celery
Radish Dip
Spinach & Artichoke Dip

This should cover most things I am missing today...plenty of protein and dairy (everything made with non-fat yogurt and a little full fat cheese), and lots of veggies....

I have to walk before this meal though...

Weigh in tomorrow...I am not looking froward to this...It should have been a better week with the exercise, but I ate too much....still within guidelines but I should have eaten less to have a net gain of activity points...I will still have them, but not like I wanted..
