LaTonga's Weight Loss Journey

This is one of my best investments! I bought it at Target for $15.00. Time is always of the essence for me... Screw off blender and pop on the top. Super easy!!!

Omg!!! I just died and went to heaven when I entered the 7-11 store and purchased a sugar free watermelon slurpee. One of my challenges that I face every  summer is drinking liquids... So when I saw this... I purchased the largest size (I know, it ain't water.. But hey it is liquid) so it will help me... I try :) Anyhow, I just thought I would share it with you. It was my treat for the day:) be blessed and enjoy!

Often times I am asked how do I get in ALL of my protein? What do I eat? How do I have time to prep and prepare healthy meals? I saw these at Sam's several weeks ago. I purchased the beef and chicken. I absolutely  LOVE  Mexican food. So I decided to make these at home. 3 ounces is 16 grams of protein. I take them and add some  onions, bell peppers, and create a stir fry. I have also taken some of the meat, and placed it in  an egg omlet with a lil bit of salsa and sour cream. Another idea is to make a small salad, I took chicken fajita meat, feta cheese, lettuce, and black olives and made a small  side salad. A delicious protein packed  meal in a snap!!!

I am generally really good at remembering to take my vitamins. However, a month ago, I ran out of my B complex vitamins. ( I order them online) and forgot to reorder some new ones. Well anyhow , I went for my annual exam and let my primary care doctor check my annual bloodwork. Well, guess what was low? The B vitamins! So, I will faithfully take my B complex vitamin and have my lab work rechecked in 3 months.  Every since I had surgery, my labs have been within normal range. I work hard to make sure that they stay where they are suppose to be. It is really helpful to make a Schedule for vitamins : Below is my schedule: Morning: drink 8 ounces of water when I wake  up , take 2 multivitamins  and iron, and Coumadin ( I have A clotting  disorder and must be on blood thinners....FOR LIFE Mid morning : calcium citrate chewable  Lunch : vitamin d and vitamin b Snack : calcium citrate chewable Dinner : calcium citrate chewable Have you taken your vitamins today? If not, please do so!
