No Parking Zone


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 of water... "No parking". When i feel discouraged and feel like giving up... NO PARKING! !With that Being said... reflect upon you and your journey. What area in your life do you need to keep it moving? "no parking zone

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.
