Veggies...they make me happy

Thought I would post how much fun I had today after the farmers market. Since I start a diet every day, and re-start it again the following day, I came to the conclusion that I am finally going to take the proper action and take proper control of my body. I'm in rather good health, with the exception of a few, ok a lot of pounds to shed. Usually I eat properly, like a bunny, but forget to exercise... now it is the other way around. You know how you think to yourself "Oh I worked out, it's ok to snack", yeah well thats me! I had to take a few snaps from my iPhone to show you the beautiful fruits and vegetables.

Good music, a sharp knife, and a clean kitchen is the perfect recipe for putting together lunch baggies. I listened to a christian rock radio station I just had brought to my attention today. I used a pink knife I ordered from my work rewards point system, and spent about 15 mins prior switching dishes around, and sanitizing the surfaces. For the Veggies we had the following yummy goods.
  • Celery
  • Radish
  • Green Onion
  • Cucumber
  • Yellow Pepper
  • Baby Carrots
  • Green Pepper
  • Green onion.
Today's visit to the famers market was less hectic then normal, which explains why I spent more the I usually do. I didn't feel rushed, and didn't have any old men who don't speak english hit me with their cart. It also didn't feel like leaving a rock concert at the parking lot. Since normally I just run to the veggie isles and quickly make my selections, I've been able to keep purchases under $22. With more space, and more freedom to just "shop" around, I picked, and browsed, and got a few extra treats. $38 this time, which is a new record! I did have 3 heavy duty reusable bags full of freshness! As pictured above you see fruit too, and here is the following sweet treats.

  • Blueberries
  • Strawberries
  • Blackberries
  • Raspberries
  • Star Fruit
I also picked up some seedless grapes, mixed them around with a natural sweetener, bagged them up, and put them in the freezer for a fresh cool snack!

Finally I leave your tonight with a teaser pic of my hh ringing up our stuff from Ikea. We managed to make it out alive, and well, without any major injuries. (Well no injuries, but you understand how crazy this store can be!) I know I promised pictures from the exotic car rally shootout we went to, but there are so many. My new computer comes with a movie editing tool, so I'm playing around that.

  1. Those "snack bags" are a great idea!! I should totally do that. I could use more veggies for sure. Can't wait to see your ikea goodies! Love that place.
