While at times I feel like I'm not making much progress (my weight has gone up rather than down), then I look at my calendar on which I tally my fruit and vegetable intake and see that I have made tremendous progress there. Increasing my fruit and vegetable intake was a primary goal; weight loss was a secondary goal, so then I feel don't feel so down on myself and my project design.
When I started this project back in February, I was generally eating about 2-3 serving of fruits and vegetables per day. Now I consistently eat 7-9 servings per day, so I am really excited about having made plants a bigger priority and a habit in my daily diet.
While I am glad to see one of my primary goals being met, it might be time to do some redesigning of my project to speak to the weight loss component, since the literature shows a correlation between being overweight and developing breast cancer. So I'll be looking into making some adjustments in that realm of my plan.
