Dinner out

Tonight I am going out to dinner, that is hard when you are with a bunch of other people not to over eat. Tonight I am going to La Gara it is a french restaurant. I try and eat some fruit or something right before I go. I love french bread and all the things that are bad for me. A few weeks ago I went to a pool party. I read in this book that if you are going to a party have a tablespoon of everything there is. That way you won't feel like you missed out. The idea is good but that would work better for a sit down dinner. The pool party was food sitting in front of you from when you got there tell I went home. So maybe tonight dinner will be easier. To nights dinner is a sit down dinner, so hopefully I will have more control over myself. My blood sugar was 114 this morning, better then some other times. I have a problem with my blood sugar high in the morning. A lady wrote on the Internet that her blood sugar was high in the a.m. so she started having a yogurt right before bed. We are taught to eat nothing before bed but by eating a yogurt right before going to bed It would bring my blood sugar down where it should be. The days I didn't, my blood sugar was 140 or above. So eat a half of a yogurt before bed and you will see a big difference. So before I go to the gym this morning let me leave you with a new recipe.

This weekend is a three day holiday so how about a cook out.

Barbecued pork chops

3 1/2 oz lean, boneless pork chop per person
1/2 tbsp. barbecue sauce

Direction: Preheat broiler or grill. Rinse chop and trim fat. Coat broiler or grill with cooking spray. Broil chop 4 min. per side. Baste with barbe-que sauce and cook for an additional 3 min. on each side.

Add a salad and you all ready for some outside fun.

So I hope you have a great three day weekend. Remember WE CAN DO THIS. If you happen to fall off the wagon, get right back up and keep on going.
