It’s Saturday and here is my 10 in 10 update. Those of us participating in the challenge have definitely kicked the New Year off right! I worked hard this week to maintain a healthy streak even though this was a particularly stressful and challenging week. And I feel that much better for it!
One of my goals for this challenge to was to cut out processed foods. So I did my grocery shopping only on the outside aisles of the grocery store. Strangely enough, for the first time in my life, I found myself relying on frozen veggies this week instead of fresh veggies. But I am ok with that! I discovered that I love frozen corn. Go figure!
The second goal was to exercise regularly. My sister and I are still on the Couch-to-5k program and we are doing great! I am also in a very intense tennis class that meets every Saturday from now to April. Although it’s the best workout I’ve ever had, I don’t ever think of tennis as exercise because it’s so fun!
Though the recipe I’ll post on Tuesday is not exactly “diet” worthy, I am a firm believer that everything is permissible in moderation. And appetizers are the perfect portions already! Have a great week!

Good job! Keep it up
Thanks Samantha!
Great job! I try to keep most of my purchases to the produce department and that really helps with eating healthy because I end up with such a variety of fresh fruits and veggies that can be eaten as is or made into something delicious.
Hi there, found your link via recipegirl’s website and wanted to say well done for keeping it up! I love playing tennis and have the same attitude as you – you forget you are working so hard when you are having all that fun! Good luck with your week 2 of the challenge!
The couch to 5k plan works, I did it last summer!
Frozen veggies are good for you…the can stuff is what isn’t so good.
good luck
I try to keep it fresh too, but the produce dept. in New England isn’t so fabulous in December. I miss my farmer’s market! Is it spring yet?
Thank you, Vee! Glad to have a fellow tennis junkie reading the blog!
I try not to buy the frozen veggies that have junk in them. Just plain old individually quick frozen stuff for me!
Sounds like it was a great week! Keep up the good work.
Thank you, LilSis!
