Another aha moment

Wow! reflecting about me and my weight-loss journey or should I say my journey for better fitness or better health, I have tried about every last program to lose weight: Jenny Craig, weight watchers, PHC , various gyms, various trainers, and every last weight-loss book recipe book that you can think of in the book.  ( beloved it or not, all of those boks are in my attic) I made the choice to have weight-loss surgery! Aha !  As I sit here and reflect I recall  attending or joining Jenny Craig.  One main focus was on portion control and exercise. I recall the counselor talking to me about portion control and serving amounts. I never FULLY understood her until looking at now and how I am eating after surgery. I am 4 years post op. I am still with in 10 lbs of my lowest weight. Some times I get a little down because my clothes do not fit like I want them to fit... That's 
when I think about the BIG PICTURE ! It took or it takes everything that I have learned and everything that I am continuing to learn..daily to make things work for me!!! I challenge you: dig deep... Really really deep... What was or is your aha moment?

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.
