Getting back on track; Daily Menu for July 6

I didn't do very well on the 4th of July (although I had a lot of fun celebrating with friends) and today piggy-backed on that less-than-successful day of eating. I didn't plan ahead and ate too much, not paying attention to my satisfaction levels and scarfing down far too many tortilla chips, not meeting any of the 8 healthy guidelines. I didn't write down what I ate and didn't keep track, so I wouldn't be surprised if I see a gain at this week's weigh in. I'm getting back on track with tomorrow's menu plan, posted below. Planning really is the key for me; failing to plan really is planning to fail, and I know that I can't just wing it and stay on program. Even for celebrations and holidays, I have to plan ahead if I expect to see results.
