We had some good eatin' going on in our house today!
Layla ate an entire bowl of oatmeal & raisins this morning. An hour later she ate nearly an entire banana. About an hour and a half later she ate a pb&j sandwich (one slice of bread) and about 5 Veggie Straws. I couldn't believe it! She finished a lunch plate! I can't recall the last time that's happened...if ever! So she was given a "treat" - one stick of a Kit-Kat bar :-) She thoroughly enjoyed her treat! While she was relishing in the deliciousness, I kept trying to reiterate that she got the treat b/c she ate her food until it was "all gone."
Please note that this is a BIG DEAL in our house! Miss Layla, although very happy and healthy (albeit petite), never cares much for eating anything. When she asked for a banana, I thought for sure it would be another wasted piece of fruit. When she ate it, I figured that meant lunch was a no-go. Boy was I wrong!
Dinner wasn't as huge of a success, but we did get several bites of chicken & dumplings and tomatoes down...that equals success in my book!

I have been doing better as well. I have had vegetables every day for about a week! I know it sounds puny, but we're so bad at incorporating veggies into our meals. Today I actually had a double dose of the daily serving as my soup (0 WW points!) for lunch had a full serving of veggies and I had a salad with my dinner tonight. Yay, me!
Fruits are my next task. I'm thinking yogurt smoothies will be the most effective way to ensure I'm getting my daily dose. :-)

YAY LAYLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe how much she ate. Definitely worth a kit kat bar!
I need to do the same with veggies and fruits. We've bee eating lettuce/salad at meals more often, and the kids like the dressing, so it works.
Good luck with your eating healthier. Good thing they make good seasonings!
