"I aspire to eating more vegetables, I know I should," Ann said in a recent nutrition session. "What's holding you back?" I asked "I buy them with grand ideas of roasting a bunch to have for the week, making salads with greens, and cutting up veggie stick to have for snacks. But then that all sounds too exhausting by the time I get home and they just sit in my fridge until they look like science experiments and I toss them." "That DOES sound like a lot of work - especially if you're tired...
