Dragonfruit & Other Produce Adventures
So, I've been going to Weight Watchers since February, and I'm down 30.6 pounds. A little slow, but steady.
At our Weight Watchers meeting last week, the topic was about trying to get more fruits and vegetables into our diet. I haven't had a big problem with veggies, but I find that I don't eat very much fruit. It's so much easier when I feel like a snack to grab one of those fiber bars or a Hostess 100-calorie pack. The "assignment" our WW leader gave us this week was to get different colors of fruit/veggies into our diets this week.
My friend and I go on these little grocery shopping adventures after the WW meeting, and we found the most unusual looking magenta fruit called dragonfruit. I also bought a guava, which I've never tried. When I was at Wegmans, I found these unusual brown tomatoes and some zucchini that were a pale green I had never seen before, and I bought them, too. So this week, I set 3 goals for myself:
1. To eat more fruit.
2. To drink more water (I don't tend to get thirsty, so I forget to drink water)
3. To exercise at least 3 times this week.
So far, I've met all three of my goals! Go, me!
Here's a layout I just made yesterday:

Poser
I was looking through some photos a couple of weeks ago and started noticing a trend. I have so many pictures of Farzad hamming it up in front of the camera. Just silly poses. Give him a prop, and he's eager to pose.
So I came up with a new album idea. I'm either going to call the album Poser or Gotta Give Him Props.
Here are the first two layouts for that book. I made this page for the How Much Is Too Much? blog. On this particular occasion, I asked him to pose nice for the camera in front of that pretty tree. This is what I got instead. It's about the only time I can get him to eat his vegetables!
We were at a candy store in Ocean City, and there were so many fun colors that I wanted to snap a picture of him in there. As I was readying my camera, he grabbed Grover to pose with him. I made this page for the Sketch This! blog.
