My day

I am in a reflective mood and  I just had to share this with you: Today when I was picking up my daughter from school. I ran into an old collegue of mind that I have not seen for over 10 years. She told me " I see you are keeping the weight off" I just smiled and said "yes..I am " however, I was thinking to myself... Hum of course, I am going to try my best to keep the weight off. What do you expect...do u expect me to regain it back quickly because I had surgery. It might seem to others that having surgery was or is a quick fix... However I beg to differ... The emotional side of surgery is no joke! It is a common battle that I deal with daily. Is it easy? Hell NO! But it was my choice and no matter how hard some days may be for me....I AM GOING TO MAKE IT! You may not fully understand my struggles or my pains...but I am going to win the battle and the war...Others expectations of me are not reflections of who I am.  Well anyway, I just had to share!

 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‼️

Meal prep

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.
