Did you set some goals as the New Year began?
How about setting some food-related goals that don't focus on traditional numbers (numbers on your bathroom scale or calories in your food or even calories that you're burning for different activities.)
Wouldn't that be a refreshing start?
How about organizing and restocking the pantry--assess your current food supply and shop for enough food to make a week's worth of menus. Some people like to have an actual written menu, others prefer to have a generously stocked pantry to be able to make favorite foods at a moment's notice. If you are working on fruit and vegetable intake, be sure to have a plentiful stash of fresh, frozen, and even canned produce.
If you'd like to set some number goals--how about counting how often you eat fruits and veggies during the week? Set small, reachable goals. Whether you eat using the Food Pyramid or MyPlate as a guideline, aim for 5 or more servings a day.
Week 1: Aim for 1 serving a day (fruit/vegetables combined)
Week 2: Aim for 2 servings a day
Week 3: Aim for 3 servings a day
Week 4: Aim for 4 servings a day
Week 5: Aim for 5 or more servings per day
