Day 3

What an adventure today was!!! I had down a list of all the new things I wanted to try and had been reading that eating organic was a better way to go when it came to putting all those veggies in your body. So I looked up the closest place to buy all organic and come across a store called Earth Fare...beautiful store, wonderful choices....but my oh my that price!!! For now I think we will just have to stick to our regular grocery store. However, most of what I did get was organic with a much more reasonable price attached to it (excluding cherries....those things are super expensive!! $9 for a small bag!). I am so proud of myself for getting all these new things to try! We got sweet potatoes, which in my head I swear I hate. I got spaghetti squash which I am also very weary of, but excited to try. And I got ginger! Not sure what exactly I am going to use it for, but I am excited to try!!

I am notorious for spending money on all these healthy foods, and then never keeping up my end of the bargain. I don't know what is so different about this time, but I feel so motivated. I feel excited and nervous but most of all ready. I am 24 years old and I am ready to start really living.

I hope that in some small way I am motivating other people to make smart decisions when it comes to what you are putting in your bodies. I know I am not one to talk because I am a sucker for a grilled cheese or anything fried, but I am accepting change, and finding that other things can be just as delicious as well.

So for your question today...what is your favorite vegetable and how do you like to eat it best?

  1. Hi Bethany! Can't wait to read more about your journey! Looks like you are on the right path! Also, I just wanted to give you a heads up that I sent you a private message on Facebook and it went to your "other" folder.

  2. So inspirational! I've loved all of your posts so far! I need to get my butt in gear after having Carter. My favorite veggie these days is asparagus (though not really in season now, I guess). Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, bake then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; yum! I've always loved sweet potatoes, though!
