5 servings of Fruit/Veggies eating challenge over the holidays? (Page 3)

EV3110 - 2012-12-16 4:32 PM Hi everyone. Sorry I've been off the radar. Lots going on in my family right now. A BIG blow came on Wed when my neice's Dr's found a brain tumor. It just been a whirlwind of disbelief & fear. Testing this week will determine treatment. So scary. Long road ahead. I've been on track this week with veggie count and workouts dispite the bad news about my neice. kids get out for winter break on Thursday. That will be either Great or not-so-great for training.. But Thinking the Frt& veggies will stay on track.

Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry!!!!  Prayers for all of you.

I'm so sorry! I will keep her and your family in my thoughts!  I hope the meeting this week goes well and they have a good prognosis.

Hi Everyone!! 

My neice is in good spirits for all that has/is happening! She has an amazing network of friends.  T-shirst have already been made with TEAM RAE with a set of angel wings below it (her name is Reagan) etched in glitter for all to show their support. Its amazing.  So no treatment plan as of yet.  Results of the most recent testing have not come back yet.  So they plan to enjoy the holidays and her birthday which is 12/30.  She will be 11.  Then....... KICK this tumors A$$!!!  

OK, Ive totally fallen off the wagon..  Hate when that happens.  And it really wasnt because of all thats been happening.  Most of it was  just because i was lazy.  Not to mention all the cookies & candy that are making their way in to my mouth....  I think I had 4 days with 5+vegs/fr this week.  that is so sad!!!  aaaaackkkkk!! Ill keeep trying! 

Well, I have not been doing well on the challenge.  I had a minor surgery and it threw me for a loop.  I have my stitches out now though and am ready to start training again.

I did cap of the year with a big Pavlova covered with a TON of fruit.  It was soo good. 

So glad to hear your niece has a ton of friends on her side Eve.  I will keep Reagan in my thoughts- I hope she kicks butt.

+1 for Eve's niece.  Will be praying for her.

246 f&v for me.  Two days I only got 4 but I hit at least 5 the remaining days.

WTG,  Moon!  Hope you recover well from your surgery and training goes well.  Thanks for starting this challenge!  It has really helped me see how different foods affect me.  Looking forward to seeing you in other challenges or threads.
