Motivational Mondays Week 10: Eat fruit everyday for a week

Sorry for the font issues. trouble w/ the 'puter today!!

10 weeks ago on a quest in 2014 to face some fears and mainly move out of my comfort zones I began Motivational Mondays.  I'm hoping to grow in many areas by embarking on this journey. I have heard that your amount of growth is directly related to how uncomfortable you are willing to be.  Join me this year as I get uncomfortable and get up off my duff.

So, on week 10 I decided to tackle #52: Eat fruit everyday for a week.

And... on week 10 as I have been slowly chipping away at my list of items that cause me to be anywhere from merely uncomfortable to actually being mortified.  In any case, I am getting uncomfortable so that I can grow as a person and live life more than I have been living life in years of recent. 

Well guys and dolls, I am real sorry that I am getting this issue of Motivational Mondays out so late to you.  I somehow forgot what yesterday was.    This week I decided to eat fruit everyday.  The reason that this is on the list is because I rarely have had fruit in the house w/ the exception of the occasional canned fruit in the cupboard or the wooden box of clementines that my therapist and I share during sessions.  Fruit is REALLY yummy, but REALLY expensive.  I went shopping and got fruit I felt sure that I could consume daily and before it went bad.  I found that when I got the snack packs for my lunch it was a guarantee that I would get some sort of fruit everyday and then that turned into fresh fruit and I began to eat more and more.  And with my Dr. supervised diet this is a good thing since I learned today from my dietitian that everyday as I eat 3 meals a day my total at the end of the day needs to be 1/2 of my plate (for the day) equal to fruits and/or veggies and the other 1/2 everything else.. hey I can do that.. now if I can just do it only 3 times a day and nothing in between.. I'll be on a roll!

This did not make me very uncomfortable, except as it applies to the $ I spent leaving my account and going to Wally World.  It did take me out of a comfort zone tho that I have had of just not having fitting this into my life.

So, @ the end of the 10th week of Motivational Mondays I am proud to say I have achieved my goal and can cross it off the list.
