lets change this up a bit..

and preach it a little. God's been working in me a lot lately about letting go and moving forward with all aspects of my life. I'm restless and cannot stop thinking about my past and suddenly it dawned on me, its OVER. I cannot change it, i cannot relive it, i cannot let it stop me from experiencing life.. my circumstances do not define me..

with each season of our lives, there is something to learn. no matter how rough it may be or productive it is, God is trying to show us something. without problems, there would be no need for miracles.
i used to constantly question God on why i have to deal with ED? why me? why can food, meant to be enjoyable, completely control my life in a negative way? i REGRET dieting and stepping on the scale for the first time, but i shouldnt. everything happens for a reason, and God doesnt put mountains in your way that you cant move! wow, i started thinking of all the people i've met because of this and i found my passion to help others who struggle too! God works in us to glorify is kingdom in the strangest of ways. and nothing is too big for Him! God fills that void in your heart that nothing else will ever be able to. "once you've gotten yourself filled up at God's table, you won't be hungry for anything else." amen.

wow i know this post is kinda random and all over the place, not my best of work but a lot has been running through my mind..
i dont care if you comment this or not..

MERRRRY CHRISTMAS!
but the best present ever, God gives us everyday
Timothy 1:7
for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind..

night loves.

i tried AMY'S VEGETABLE LASAGNA today for lunch and oh my! how does she do it??!?

it was amazing, the sauce was actually yummy! (usually the frozen entrees are yuck!) and the pasta cooked beautifully. they could have been more generous with the cheese though! (no worries, i fixed that!) but then again its only 310 calories!

12 grams fat

4.5 sat

35 g carb

5 g fiber

16 g protein

not too shabby for a ridiculously large portion of lasagnaaaaa!

my plan kinda backfired; I am currently babysitting the most energetic kids ever... my fault.

I thought maybe making a gingerbread tree would keep them occupied for a while, nope they just ate the icing and now are bouncing off the wall

ha well i came home to our xmas tree up. its very traditional.

terribly bad photo, i take them on my iPhone. i'm lazy with my camera.

but you get the idea (;

we have 9 full size tree. we kinda love xmas.

i made this for a linner (lunch/dinner) when i cam home from work:

i like to take the foods from the market and make them healthyyy.

grilled chicken, grilled asparagus (yum!), red onion, plum tomato on a bed of romaine.

i used Marzetti's all natural light balsamic vinegarette and enjoyed a side of KASHI crackers.

i dont think i liked them. i LOVE garlic, but not the amount on these crackers! i'm gonna be reeking for days.

night in, decorating another tree :D

so funnnnn !

i work all day

it was so slowwwww; i was able to sit down and enjoy lunch..

anthony had made an awesome butternut squash puree. i had two bowls (!) and a side of whole grain crackers. not my favorite; sorry.

this kept me full allllll day. i wish i could go back and relive that meal (;

but uh dinner was just as good...

there's a turkey artichoke panini at Panera Bread that is to die for. unfortunately, i did not feel like driving forty minutes for a sammy. i made my own. JUST AS

GOOD!

roasted turkey breast from the market, handful of spinach, some mozzarella
