This is a great breakfast recipe!
2-3 egg whites
chopped onion
green peppers
one slice of turkey breast lunchmeat
one slice of cheese
a little "dash" of Mrs.Dash Table Blend
Mix the egg whites in a bowl with just a few drops of water (replacing the milk). Pour into small skillet over medium heat. When the egg starts to form, put in the Mrs. Dash, onion, green peppers, lunchmeat, and cheese (in that order). Cook until bottom is done (roughly 4-6 minutes). Fold it in half. Cook each side another 2-3 min.
It is sooooooooooo yummy and pair this up with fruit and you have a great, healthy breakfast!
Thanks to my sister-in-law, Destiny for sharing this with me. :)

A low calorie yummy dessert!
Doesn't this look amazing? This would be great to take to a get together or make for dessert at home. The best part is that it's only 105 calories per serving (1/2 cup)! How exciting is that? Here is the link to the recipe:

Feeling a little defeated
I could sit and make excuses that are probably valid ones to everyone else, but I've gotten so much heavier in the past few months. A lot of it is due to stress, but it boils down to me not being proactive and me not taking charge of the being the best I can be. I wanted to write this post in case anyone has ever been in my position. I really need to kick it into gear. There are so many risk factors for being overweight. Some of these include:
- Heart disease
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Sleep apnea
- Certain types of cancer
- Strokes
- Osteoarthritis
- Many many other risk factors
This is so heartbreaking for me to sit here and list all of these. I really believe though that making it real and typing these facts out will really help me. I really need to write down my daily agenda and see where I can be more active when completing my daily tasks. I have to get healthy. I love my husband and kids so much and I can't bear the thought of putting them through any of these horrible medical issues, because I made a choice to not take care of myself. Taking baby steps this week in the right direction, but application is the key to all of the great resources that I'm receiving this week. If anyone has any comments on how I could add exercise to my daily routine, I would love it! Also, any low calorie, budget friendly recipes are great! As always encouragement and support from everyone is what's gonna be a huge part of getting me where I need to be.
