Every month on the 13th I always take time to take a photo and to reflect on my weight loss success.This month is dedicated to 10 Things that have changed because of WLS:
1. my health..I do not sleep with my c-pap,  and Iam offof high blood pressure medicine
2. I am able to exercise long periods of time with out my legs giving out
3. M.y shoe size from8.5 and 9 to 7.5 and 8..my old sneakers look like boats
4. I can cross my legs..yipee
5. A new found confidence..I have always been confidant...but now..it is a new found confidence..very humbling
6. My daughter and I are able to walk around my neighborhood and not get tired
7. I went to an indoor water park..played in the water with my daughter w/out feeling uncomfortable about my size
8. The amount of money that i spend on clothes ( size 4 and 6 are cheaper) than plus sizes
9. The amount of money spent on fast food..we only indulge in eating out once a week.
10.  I plan my meals weekly..so  I do not over spend on fast food and I eat at home/ I make sure I have food in the house to save money.

    Keep your house free of high fat and overly sweet snack foods. If you never have any cookies, candy, or other yummy treats in your home, you don't have to resist eating them whenever you prepare yourself something to eat in the kitchen. Keep healthy snacks available as an alternative. You might put a vegetable tray in the fridge or buy a box of whole grain crackers.

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.
