My, my, it's been awhile...

Sorry, guys! I've had a roller coaster of a life for the last while and have been offline for a lot of it.

I believe I left off with the water challenge. Can't remember if I met that challenge or not. If I didn't, I know I came close to the eight glasses each day as I'm still coming close to getting that in me regularly. It really is an amazing help to losing and maintaining weight loss. Not so much fun with the frequency of bathroom breaks required, though. Thankfully our basement bathroom is once again in working order since my office is down here, too.

How are we all doing with eating lots of greens and fresh fruits and other colourful vegetables? I hope, in this season of plenty, that you all are gravitating to those 'healthy' choices of salads and undoctored fresh fruits and veges. The nectarines have been awesome around here lately.

Let's all really try for those five to eight servings of vege's and fruit daily. Romaine salads are a great way to hike the vege intake, just forego the croutons, bacon bits and high-calorie dressings. Be creative, add sprouts, mushrooms, grated carrots, boiled eggs, grape tomatoes, etc. to add flavour, and just a little oil and vinegar dressing to top it all off.

Here's to healthy eating!

Blessings,

Eileen
