Get back on Track

If you have gotten off track don't worry today is a good day to get back in there. I know after the three day weekend some of us have fallen off. A piece of cake or a candy bar, well it tasted really good but it is time to jump back and start eating right. Yesterday I went to Safeway and got some fruit that was on sale. That is a good thing to do, when you see something really cheap put a little money away during the month so you can take advantage of the sale. We all know how hard it is right now, I have to count every penny. That is one reason I always buy an 18 count eggs, at the beginning of the month. I love egg sandwiches, I use just the egg whites and maybe 1/2 egg yoke for color, I add celery, onions, even some tuna. I make a big batch on Monday so then when I am hungry during the week I don't have to think about it. It is right there waiting for me. If I have to stop and try to finger out what is good for me and can't find something that is low cal of course I start eating the wrong things.

Here is a nice recipe for a dinner, these are all one portion sizes.
