I resign .....

I am no longer the "food police" person. Everything I thought I knew, means nothing. Turkey Bacon is really not all that great for you. You must watch the sodium. Turkey Sausage on the other hand, got a passing grade. (I don't like sausage!!) We must learn to read the labels. A serving is what the box, can, etc. says is a serving. If we cannot judge by eye-balling the food we should use a measuring cup.

My husband had a heart attack and heart bypass surgery. He agreed to go to Health Steps for exercise and help for eating better. I go with him to attend the nutrition classes. The more I go, the less I know. I do better reading than I do listening. And when the whole class joins in, it gets to be more confusing. A book that was recommended today is titled "EAT THIS NOT THAT". Ebay has millions of these books listed. I'll see if I can snag one.

He has the last class of the day. So what did we eat tonight? McDonald's Caesar Salad with grilled chicken. I'm sure the creamy French dressing wasn't the dressing the food police would recommend, but it sure was good!
