    My husband has been on vacation this week and doing things in our home and we found ourselves eating more, even though we are working harder to get a little excercise and putting ourselves to good use, anyway...starting back on fruit and veggies today!

    I did this yesterday. I ate a whole pint of blueberries stirred into 2 cups of yogurt, half as a snack before dinner and the other half as dessert after dinner. When I ate the second half I almost dished up some ice cream but decided to eat the berries and yogurt instead and then I was full of good food instead of ice cream which for me is a food I need to avoid. emoticon
