Fruit is Good

I know...blueberries are a superfood, blah, blah, blah... or as those of us from the Seinfeld era like to say, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah...

These pictures, I swear, are taken on my kitchen counter. Mangos, kiwi, strawberries and blueberries. The blueberries, mango and kiwi are from Sam's and the strawberries were a great deal at Robilio's. The key is actually eating the stuff before it goes bad. The very hungry teenager actually remarked that the fruit was pretty (he didn't know I'd actually photographed it for this blog), so I'll take that as a compliment.

When I saw my doctor yesterday and hinted for diet pills, he weighed me and pulled out his calculator and told me 1) I looked ok, 2) his scale was forgiving - at least 5 pounds light, and 3) I should do Weight Watchers or Curves. Since there's a Curves a mile and a half from my house, I headed straight there. I hate the whole concept of a "program" and the commitment and all that goes with that, but I think I'm going to give it a try. They have a website (which costs an extra $20/mo.) which is really quite amazing. I'll add the link. If you need a coupon code for a free 30-day trial, let me know in your comments and I'll get one for you. I think that's long enough to see if it helps. If it helps, it'll be worth it, even though it seems like a lot.

So for now, I'll be posting pictures of healthy food. I promise I will not turn into a diet blog. Oh, included in the Curves website membership is a blog. It is so lame. They have two employees blogging very occasionally (every 2 or 3 weeks). Maybe I'll start a blog there!

For now, I'll do my best - I'll try to be the tortoise - slow and steady...
