Getting your mind right!

Today I made a bad decision. I stopped by Kroger to purchase some decaf tea and a rotessori chicken for dinner. I saw that  some m & m cookies  were on sale...well, I should have keep on walking, did I? Of course, I did not! I bought the cookies. Everyone has their own type of addiction, mine happens to be cookies...yep, I loveum'. I found myself sitting in the parking lot eating them. In my head, I said, "I am only going to eat one", well one, became two, and two became three. I am not sure if I consumed too many or ate them too quick....I totally started to regret it after because I became tired and legetheric.
 Lesson learned: why am I buying them ( because they are on sale)
Is it worth the pain? of course it is NOT worth the pain
Why am I eating them? Was it for hunger? Am I pacifying an underling problem? Well of course, it was the latter. I had to change my mindset.  Everyone has some type of addiction, drugs, alcohol, sex, shopping, well mine is food. I am an emotional eater. I am learning that when problems arise, do not turn to food for the solution, look for the root of the problem.

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.
