For many of you the site of this picture makes you think yummy thoughts. For a very few of you, it doesn't look appetizing. I am part of the very few. I feel like all my friends and family enjoy some sort of 'real' vegetable. The thing is, I feel as if I am the only person I know
that doesn't like vegetables. Heck, J LOVES green beans and brussels sprouts (<--major ew!). I am in this club all by my lonesome, with no support group to get me on the veggie band wagon.
I don't particularly like vegetables. It's not for lack of trying them either. I get ambitious and at least make the effort to like them. I think they are gross. I will eat carrots raw and radishes every now and then, but for the most part, real veggies are not my thing. I wish they were though. I want to feel like a grown up too! I just don't like vegetables. at. all.
So imagine my mother's surprise when she received this text last night:
"I ate green beans"
The replying text from her was:
"Was it a dare?"
No it wasn't a dare, thank you very much. And to answer your other question, I actually did eat them. They weren't very good but it was tolerable. I would never say "MMMM let's make green beans tonight with dinner" but I am attempting to eat healthy. I try vegetables at least every few months to see if maybe my taste buds changed or my mind can override my taste. So far I have not been successful,but like I said, at least the effort is being made.
What sparked this sudden interest in eating better? My friend, CK, has asked a few of us girls to join her in a half marathon the Sunday before Thanksgiving. I figure if I eat better, I will feel better before, after and while I work out. You can follow my training progress on my "Training" page. =) I've only been going for three days, training only 2 of them. Sunday I was exhausted and didn't think working out while being that tired was a good thing. I decided to document my workouts so I will feel like I am being held accountable. Further, I am taking BWH measurements on Saturdays to mark progress. Thanks, CK, for getting me motivated!

My husband doesn't like most vegetables. Try using Jerry Seinfelds wifes book about cooking. I can't remember what it's called but it is pretty cool. She has you puree a bunch of different vegetables and put them in recipes that you wouldn't ever think to do yourself but you can't even taste it and you are still getting the nutrients!
