FRIDAY MORNING RESULTS

117 WAS THE MAGIC NUMBER.

Guess it wasn't so very bad with all the food from the buffet.   Probably also had a dessert that wasn't mentioned.  

My favorite salad to help with getting fresh vegetables with lots of fiber and micronutirents is:
chop all in bite sized pieces
1 head of CAULIFLOWER
1 bunch of  BROCCOLI
1 whole bunch of  CELERY  

It makes a lot, so I often share.  To keep for a few days put in a gallon sized freezer bag and store in the refrigerator.  Keeps well.  
To serve:  1 cup plus tomato, cucumber, sliced onion and other raw vegetables as desired.  Can also add a small serving  of lean chicken, turkey or one boiled egg.   I like with olive oil, vinegar and spices for dressing.  Use your own favorite or whip up a homemade low cal dressing.

Another favorite way to serve is add a few chopped almonds, a teaspoon of raisins and buttermilk ranch dressing.  Just be sure to keep track of calories in dressing as this is often the downfall in dieting...since a salad makes you think you're eating light.
