This is Day 151 of my Daily Food Diary. This is also June 1st! ππ
In May, I was tracking my Total Net Calories – calories consumed minus calories burnt exercising each day.Β I was also tracking my Saturated Fats consumption.
In June, I will keep tracking my calories, but instead of tracking anything detrimental or beneficial, I am going to set a goal of eating 7 servings of fruit and/or vegetables each day. The recommended number of servings, per Canada’s food guide ranges from 7 to 10, depending on age and sex. For women over 51, seven is the magic number.
We will see how that works out! I love almost all vegetables, but I am no fan of fruit!

According to the Weather Network, we can expect another wildfire smokey day today. Fortunately, it was fairly clear at 6 am so Molly and I were able to spend an hour outside cleaning up, feeding squirrels, and watering the plants and seeds I planted this week. Molly wasn’t much help but she had fun stealing my mini plastic watering can, tossing it up in the air, batting it around with her paws AND chewing on the spout whenever she caught it. π

Youβll absolutely see your markers in a better place by focusing on increasing veggie intake, Anne! I love both fruits and veggies so I know that increasing them has a myriad of benefits.

I am glad to hear that you and Molly were able to spend a little time outside. Would you believe the smoke from the fires there made it all the way down to here in Arkansas yesterday? I cannot imagine how bad it must be there. Wishing you all the best with fruits and veggies this month Anne. Stay safe and I hope the fires are out and all the smoke is gone very soon. Hugs

Thank you, Mags! I’m sorry you are getting our smoke. It travels in such strand patterns. I couldn’t stick my nose out the door yesterday, but my DIL said it was clear in Lloydminster (practically right up in the fire zone).
