It's been A While~November update

It has been a while since I have updated my blog. Currently, I am maintaining my weight loss at 138 lbs. Unfortunately, I have not been working out on a regular basis. Next week, I plan on hitting the gym DAILY!! I have a membership at the local Family Y..but I haven't been in two weeks.(I got to get my money's worth) I must refocus and make exercise a priority. Even though, I have lost @122 lbs..I must work out to regulate my blood pressure and sleep apnea. Sometime it can be very hurtful for my friends and family to tell me that I do not need to work out. ~They really do not understand my struggle.~ I must maintain a schedule so that I will not slip..I guess I am trying to appease others instead of pleasing myself. No one fully knows my struggles except for myself and God.
 I am in a trial and error stage of foods so there fore I have been experimenting with different recipes. I found this recipe on pinintrest for banana ice cream. IT IS DELICIOUS!! (You take two bananas, cut and freeze them, place them in the freezer for 1 hour, take the frozen bananas out of the freezer, mix in a table spoon of peanut butter, and a table spoon of unsweetened coca powder...IT tastes just like Ice cream..without all of the calories..and it will most definitely satisfy the sweet tooth.

 It’s year 13 and I must pause to reflect, refocus, and keep moving forward.  Every year around this time I reflect upon how my gastric bypass has changed my life. Has it always been easy? “NOPE”‼️. However, I will continue to put one foot in the front of the other one and continue to move forward‼️

Lately my favorite veggie has been zucchini squash and yellow squash. I take  a little bit of olive oil,a little bit of salt and a little bit of pepper and sauté it... Yummy! I take the squash,and I put it in half cup containers. Therefore, I have my Veggies prepped for the week. Do you meal prep? It save me a lot of time, and also assist me in making healthy choices.

Weight gain

This week I have been off track, eating out due to vacation, not limiting portion sizes, not drinking all of my decaffeinated tea, coffee, and water. So this morning, I got up drank 8 ounces of water, took my vitamins, and headed to the gym. I am going to call this: # operation HELL no move that scale!!!! I have gained 5 pounds! I am sure is water and sodium retention! However, I am back on track. I will: drink at least 64 oz of water, up my protein intake, get in all my vitamins, and measure my portions. I will not eat out all week! #operationHELLnomove that scale is in full effect.
