Portion Control


I am super exited! I bought these small casserole dishes  YEARS AGO!!! I found them in the cabinet at my parents house. ANYWAYS!! I used them to create some spagetti squash spagetti for dinner. Each casserole dish is 12 onces.These   containers are the perfect size to assist me with my portion control.For the dish, I used spagetti squash as the pasta, turkey meatballs, and spagetti sauce. It's amazing how sometime we have the correct tools foe weight loss, but use them incorrectly.Thank God, I am using my tool to the best of my abilty. My daughter did not really like the spaghetti squash,but I bet if I would not have told her the difference, she would have enjoyed eating it.

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.

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.
