This month is LOVE your veggies month!For those of you WIAW-ing it up this month, I challenge you to VEG-ify your posts!
in addition to your What I Ate Wednesday posts...Tell us about your favorite vegetablesShare your go-to cooking/prep methods for veggiesTalk about how you add extra fruits and vegetables to your daily eatsChallenge yourself to eat more vegetables this month/week/year& any other veggie-centric topics you can think about!
What-I-Ate blogs are taking over the internet. The little voyeur in all of us gets pretty darn curious sometimes... I mean, we obviously see what we eat ever second of every day... but what on earth does everyone else put in their faces? So as a Registered Dietitian in-the-making, a former vegetarian, and a current whole food eating nutrition nut, I decided to give you a little weekly peek at my eats for an entire day. The good, the odd, and the she-ate-WHAT!? -- it's all there!
This weekly food diary has been a fabulous way for me to reflect on my eating habits and spot out patterns, slip-ups, and successes! What I eat on workout days, sick days, on the road and even on lazy days spent curled up -- it's all different and I learn something new about myself every time!
Looking back at a full day of eats has benefited my healthy eating goals so much, that I wanted to share the love by making it into a blog link party for everyone to join in on! Helloooo virtual pot-luck!
What started as a once-a-week food diary has now turned into a bloggy social event every Wednesday! I've met so many fabulous new bloggers from WIAW and love getting meal inspiration from everyone's posts! It's also been a great tool for shaking up a food rut + finding new, exciting ways to eat your favorite foods! Without WIAW I might not of realized that PB+J quesadillas and uber green smoothies with spinach were absolutely amazing together. Everyone is different so it makes sense that we all eat differently too -- some of us can't have dairy... or gluten... or sugar while others favor restaurant adventures, or sustainable eating or even paleo-centric eats. There's no right or wrong way to eat, and its fun learning about everyone else's habits.
If it all seems like a crazy hot mess to you, don't stress it - life is supposed to be a little nutty!

WIAW is about food and fun! It's about making new friends, breaking out of a food rut, noting changes in your diet/lifestyle, inspiring yourself & others, embracing fruit & vegetables, nourishing your body with the foods that work for you, finding new ways to eat your favorite foods, and so much more <3
