Thread: Daily Check In - December

This is where you post your veggie and fruit consumption each day, to stay accountable to "5 A Day the Low Carb Way".

Keep it going, ladies and gents! The world needs to know what "real" low carbers eat.

This time of year is a toughie for some of us to get decent fresh veggies and fruits, but we can prevail.

Today had a big helping of my chicken and extra veggie soup for lunch and a giant salad for supper. All together it was at least 5 servings. Got a little cold so I will be eating the soup all week.

I had my traditional 3C salad at lunch, had 1C cauliflower and about 3/4C of broccoli for dinner last night--missed my fruit but alas, all is well. . .I got my servings in, just not in the normal way!

Breakfast: spinach & mushrooms (in omelet - yum); lunch: 2 c dark leafy greens (I cut back my usual 3 cups cause I'm still battling this cold) with radishes, mushrooms, bell pepper and cucumber; dinner - zucchini & tomato

Had a couple servings of baby carrots today (too many) for a snack, lunch was a lot more of the veggie chicken soup and supper was a broccoli/onion omlette.

Had my usual salad--and french fries if they count--I was not all that good yesterday at all and am down half a pound today--go figure--it has to be because I drank over a gallon yesterday with my cough an sore throat from hollering over kids in the gym. I had almost no voice by the end of the day yesterday! It was a good lesson though--I think the kids learned a LOT about cooperation and working as a team!

3C salad veggies today and a pear tonight. Not a lot else worth mentioning today--but no fries either!

"No fries" is good.
Of course techincally they are a vegetable.

More baby carrots today. They (along with peanut butter) served as breakfast since I left home without it. Then for lunch I had a huge 4 cup green salad. For supper I had a half a bag (so 8 oz) of cauliflower. Back on track with veggies. Hope to keep up the good eating this weekend.

Love your new avatar, Noel. Is that your little guy or you when you were little? I'm waiting for DH to help me with mine.

Thank you, that's my sweet baby. Had other half bag of cauliflwer for lunch, cup of blueberries for snack and having a pepper, onion, mushroom combo with sausage and chicken for supper.

Good veggie day.

1C green beans and a pear. Not so good and after Friday it was not enough--I don't expect a drop for this week and tomorrow is my 11 Atkinversary!

Broccoli broccoli and more broccoli. Plus some onions. I ate all my servings in broccoli.

2C mixed Salad greens, 1/4 cup diced Tomato, 1C steamed broccoli, 1.5 C mixed Broccoli and Cauliflower with cheese sauce, pear--good veggie day--just too many cookies to call it a good LC day!

1 1/2 c spinach with eggs for breakfast. 1 cucumber and some cooked broccoli about 2/3 c for lunch and lettuce wraps for supper and an avocado for snack.
