LaTonga's Weight Loss Journey

As you all know, I am a middle school teacher. So this year I decided to write SMART goals with my students. I shared with my classes that my three goals for this year are: 1. To get to work on time @ 7:10 everyday ( I am not a morning person) 2. To work out at least 3 days a week before I go to work. 3. To get to bed on time @ 10:30 during school nights. As I was exercising, I saw this no parking sign...I had to snap a picture of it. This year my motto is "no parking"... I got to keep things moving!!  Let me relate it to my weight loss, in order to achieve optimum levels of fitness... I must exercise, weigh my portions, get enough rest...I am good but everyone needs their rest...at least 7 good hours.  When I am tired and do not feel like exercising... "No parking". When I am pushed for time, and do not plan my meals... "No parking". When I am experiencing head hunger, " No parking". When I do not feel like Getting in adequate amount...

Whew! This summer has gone by too QUICK! Tomorrow is my first day back to work from summer break. So I spent my time planning and preparing meals for the week. I  prepared a chipotle chicken salad ( I had gone to the fresh market and bought some..so I decided to replicate and alter the recipe). I also prepared some stew beef, and some deviled eggs for my snacks.

My non scale victory for today's being able to sit in a doctors office chair with room to comfortably place my purse beside me... Yeah boy!!!

Omg!! This is Delicious!!! I bought it from the Fresh market.Gosh,I love that store !  I plan on trying to replicate it this weekend. The chicken salad contains chicken,corn, and black beans, and some type of chipotle dressing. It has a twist on regular chicken salad with a little bit of a kick! An excellent high-protein snack!
