The challenge of staying healthy when Eating out at Restaurant

Biggest helpful hints:
• Workout - to increase your metabolism
• Remember your portions - take half home!!
• Order something you'll love - feel free to replace the fries with vegetables. If you are having a craving, I'm sure your friend with give ya a fry or two.

I had to go out for all 3 meals yesterday. Luckily I fit in an hour on the Penns Landing Stairs in the morning. When I work out, it seems to help my eating by decreasing my appetite and also reminding me that I'm working hard to have a healthy lifestyle. So, it changes my menu ordering habits. I had an egg white omelet with broccoli, spinach, onions and American cheese!! So yummy. I got fried tomatoes on the side since I knew I'd be eating out a bunch. Not to mention, I've recently come to like them. Of course, the waitress forgot, so I got the home fries too. I took a bite and packed them up. They will be really good in a day or two :) Lunch, I went for the mixed greens with apples, beets, walnuts and fried goat cheese. I'm sure the dressing had a ton of sugar, but it was yummy and I finished all but some of goat cheese and fried coatings behind to shave a few calories. I would have finished it, but I was full. So, I'll save the calories for later. I highly recommend this salad at Bridget Foy (2nd and South). Dinner was taconelli's. 3 pieces of pizza and bottle of tempranillo Spanish Red Wine. not my healthiest meal. But, Thursday's at Taconellis with Sharon and Charlie leave no room for diet rules :) I did try to pick the smallest pieces. That's the best effort I had. It's all good, I'll get a good night sleep and up nice and early for a pre-work workout. I have to be in Horsham by 9:30. So, it's gonna be an early morning of jumping around and weight training. I did my best with water.

Oh...and lookin at yesterday, I noticed I forgot to add the medium frozen mocha from Dunkin Donuts. Skim milk, lite chocolate but don't forget the whipped cream!!! Guess that's better than bacon double cheese burger, super size and diet coke :)
