Eat Light and Fit, Be Light and Fit

If you're anything like me, you ate and drank WAY too much over the holidays.  Now that it's a new year and time for a fresh start, I have a few seemingly simple goals (in theory) in mind:

1.  Spend less/save more.
2.  Eat better.
3.  Exercise more.
4.  Drink less.

So far, in these first 4 days of 2011, I have succeeded in not drinking any alcohol and eating fewer carbs, although I still have yet to hit the gym and am still struggling to pay off those Christmas gifts and holiday trips (which I anticipate I'll be doing for quite some time).

In the spirit of focusing on the positive (as in what I have managed to achieve thus far), I thought I'd share a light and healthy carb-free recipe.  It's super easy (it literally takes under 5 minutes to make) and filling, yet light on calories and fat.  It's great for a light and healthy lunch or dinner, but of course could make a delicious breakfast/brunch option too.  Basically, it's a win-win!  Enjoy!
