This post takes up the writing challenge of prompt #1 – diets.

Have you tried any challenge that asks you to eat 40 vegetables and fruit in a week’s worth of 21 meals? I tried Jackie Lynch’s The 40 Fruit and Veg Challenge. I shopped for my stash of greens and fruit for my 1st week but failed to complete the list of 40. I was too fussy in my choice of purchases. I didn’t buy what I didn’t like to eat. Consequentially, I failed to manage 40 fruit and vegetables. I steeled my resolve to attempt this challenge for another week. This time, I forced myself to step out of my comfort zone and buy those greens and fruit which I was biased against. I managed to eat 39 fruits and greens. That deserves a pass because 39 is almost 40.

For readers who are interested, they may like to read my post on how I managed my week of 40 fruits and vegetable challenge. The disclaimer is you should consult your doctor to get a professional opinion of whether you are fit to try this diet. Generally, people need to have a clean bill of health before they start a new kind of diet.

From John Holton, this week’s prompts:

1. Write a post based on the word diets.
2. Write a post in exactly 11 lines (sentences).
3. Write about something you’re looking forward to in April.
4. Besides your life, your health, your house, and your car, what else do you insure (or, if you don’t, what would you like to insure)? Why?
5. Take two books. Open each one to a random page and point at a random sentence. Use one sentence to start your story and the other to end your story. Write the story in the middle.
6. Write about the most recent time you went to a sporting event.
