Goal review and the fruit thing

I haven't re-visited my goals for a while so let's do a quick review.  The first two months of The Mambo Project concentrated on simple weight loss math: 
Eat Less + Move More = Lose Weight

September - East less.  Check.  I got my food intake under control and this continues.

October - Move more.  Start exercising.  Nope.  I had some wonderful suggestions from my fellow bloggers and I did start adding steps to my day at the beginning of October, but my effort faded mid-month.  I will re-visit exercise again as soon as I get the ok from my trusted MD Dr. A. and/or Cpt. Kirk.

So let’s go back to food.  In November I am going to work on adding variety to my diet.  I don't eat enough fruit.  I never have.  I'm just not a big fan.  It's a texture thing.  I enjoy the taste of most fruits but I can't stand the texture.  Oranges are my best example.  I should love oranges.  The smell of oranges makes my mouth water and freshly squeezed orange juice, mmmmmm, I can drink a big glass of it.  But an actual orange?  Uh-uh.  I cannot stand the squeaky sound an orange makes when I bite it.  Sounds a bit crazy, right? 

This week's goal:  Eat a piece of fruit every day

But even the fruit I can handle, like apples and bananas, I very rarely eat.  Seriously.  Almost never. I suppose I have just never made eating fruit a habit.  Isn't that silly?  So this month I am going to concentrate on fruit.  The goal for this week will be simple.



Goal for the week of November 8, 2010 - Eat one piece of fruit every day.

Eddy and Coby both love fruit therefore we always have plenty in our house.  (Haha, as I type this I can hear Eddy biting into watermelon.  See?  He's always eating fruit!)  I ate a banana today so I'm off to a good start!
