9 servings a day?

I was reading an article on MSN that said for optimal health and longevity you should eat 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. I'm not sure about you but I have trouble getting in 2-3 per day. I don't usually buy fresh items because they seem to go bad so fast and I don't want to be at the grocery store every other day.

I guess if I actually cooked more it would be easier but we've gotten lazy and we eat lots of convenience foods. Mostly because I'm dealing with a defiant teen right now and I'm mentally exhausted by the time dinner comes around. :)

I've got canned fruit & veggies in the cabinet so I need to focus more on getting a larger number of servings into my diet this week. I've also got to get back on track with the weight loss and working out because I've been yo-yo-ing the last few weeks and eating poorly.

Good luck this week to anyone else that is also on this never ending journey to health!

Thanks for stopping by. If you have feedback, please leave it. I may have strong feelings about things but I know that doesn't make them right...all the time. Give me your perspective but...be nice! I don't need a bunch of strangers being nutso in my life! :) Thanks
