Well, as far as food goes, not packing bento. I'm sure I'll get back into it when the school year starts again. However, for work (teaching online), I'm doing a 6-week fruit and vegetable challenge, where the goal is to eat 5 servings of fruits and/or vegetables every day. As I was pretty much doing that already, except for the odd day, I figured I might as well sign up. Our real goal is 20 points a week... well, the first week I had 30 points, and last week I had 40. Fresh veg at farmer's markets and from friends' gardens helps! As does the fact that peaches and cherries are in season.
A few examples: the other day I made lecho for lunch. I used a whole tomato, half an onion, and a small green pepper. 3 servings of veg, easy. (What is lecho? Hungarian recipe...take a chopped onion and green pepper, saute, chop the tomato and add, cook until soft. Scramble one egg and add to the mixture; cook until egg is set. Serve with bread or toast). A fruit smoothie has a banana, half-cup of strawberries, and 6 oz. of juice. Another 3 servings. So, they add up quickly.
Tomorrow I'll tell you about my newest obsession. :)
