Resisting temptation and moving to a new level

I really felt inclined to share this with my weight loss friends. On Saturday, I went to Atlanta to the Cheese Cake Factory. I was surrounded around these yummy sweets. I was able to resist! Being honest with myself, I had said  when I entered the building, "I am going to try one piece of cheese cake" Then I saw on the menu that there was a cheesecake sweetened with Splenda. In the back of my mind, that was what I was going to order. I was thinking "who goes to the Cheese Cake Factory and doesn't order cheesecake?" "NOT ME!!" Well, I started thinking, I had been to a wine tasting at Chateau Élan earlier that day, ( I am not a drinker, however, I will consume a glass of wine occasionally)  decided that it was too many calories wasted (wine and then cheese cake). I quickly recalculated what I had  eaten earlier today, and opted not to get the cheese cake. Instead I did order some crabmeat balls. Remembering the wls rules for success. (Protein 1st) 
I had to reflect and share with my wls friends because I realized I am in full control of myself ,and it is my actions that will ultimately determine my success.

 It’s year 13 and I must pause to reflect, refocus, and keep moving forward.  Every year around this time I reflect upon how my gastric bypass has changed my life. Has it always been easy? “NOPE”‼️. 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.
