Eating My Veggies (and Fruit)

Time for a check in!  How are you doing with those goals you set at the beginning of the year?  Yeah, those...from just a couple of weeks ago!  Are you still doing it?  According to StatisticBrain.com, by this time more than 25% of people have given up on their resolution.  I'm sticking with my goals and doing okay...still struggling to get in the physical activity and drink enough water.  But I do have a win!  Where I'm really excelling is in eating my veggies and fruits.  Being more aware of the need to eat more of them has had me bumping up servings at all of my meals.  Each of the following pictures features a delicious combo of fruits and vegetables worked into or served on the side of each meal. 

Chicken and Israeli couscous salad with dried fruit, roasted beets and watermelon.
