Take your vitamins everyday

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!

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.
