I am a believer in vegetables. But I don't always act on that belief. It's so much easier to go about my day without eating vegetables. Preparing and eating vegetables takes effort, and I've found that if I don't prioritize vegetables into my day, I just don't eat them. It's the same with exercise. I'm a believer, but I don't always prioritize that belief. But I think that when I have an attitude of, "Vegetables are so yummy and make me feel good! I love vegetables!" it's easier for me to implement them into my diet. And it's the same with exercise. If I have an attitude of, "I love exercise! It makes me feel so happy!" it's a lot easier to get my rear in gear. And there are really so many options for vegetables and exercise, it shouldn't be that hard! So, I'm going to list some vegetables and exercise that make me happy, and hopefully I'll act on them more!

I need to take the same attitude, and I will! Thanks!
Those veggies do sound yummy! I've decided that I'm going to buy salad in the bags, and then have that for lunch several days a week. And I totally agree that exercising needs to be looked at as a release, not a chore!
I am the same as you. If I don't make a conscious effort then I don't eat my veggies! But I do try especially so my kids get them. I have the worst eating habits. I don't have a problem with quantity.. just quality. So I am trying really hard to not pass that along. thanks for the reminder.
Thanks for the reminder Abbi! I need to eat more veggis for SURE! There are sometimes when I go DAYS without eating any veggis... I always try to drink a V8 juice every day though. I am not quite sure if that is nearly as good though.
