Congratulations on reaching half an hour on the elliptical! I really love the elliptical, since it is low-impact and I still feel like I'm getting a workout. (It's not a good workout unless I'm sweating a lot!)
Also, I was reading through your menus, and they appear really delicious. I'm jealous, my menus could never be filled with such a diversity of yummy food. I also notice that you have a lot of chocolate--delicious. (I find the darker the chocolate, the more satisfying it is. Especially if you keep it in the freezer so it takes longer to eat.)
About reintroducing vegetables--the way I usually incorporate new food into my
diet that doesn't sound that great (cooked spinach, for instance) is to find a dish that contains it but has a lot of other elements that I like (for spinach, eating spinach pizza did the trick for me. Also spinach quiche. Yummm.) If I have something that's really good that contains a new food, I usually start thinking about how good the new food was and develop a taste for it.
I will try to keep up with your diary. Good luck!
