I will let you in on a little secret-I'm a complainer! God's convicted me lately on this. It can be easy to pick out the reasons why our lives are less than perfect! I don't have this, so and so has more ______, the list goes on and on! But the truth is, my life's pretty darn good! So the next time I find myself complaining about a circumstance God has placed me in, I'm going to count my blessings. I truly do believe any circumstance has something to be thankful for, even if it's just the fact that you're still breathing air! I take so much for granted, maybe it's time to start realizing that fact.
On the top of my grateful list is being able to fit this shirt! I bought it at forever 21.com early this year and couldn't even button it! So I put it away hoping maybe it would fit later- guess what?!? Oh yeah, I'm wearing it-spoilers! ; ) I'm thankful each day for The THM (www.trimhealthymama.com) way of eating. Not just because I'm smaller, but simply for food freedom!
Speaking of food freedom....
Made this awesome E 1 serving microwave apple crisp-yum!
Recipe is from http://capallequinephotographyandtraining.blogspot.com/ check it out! She has some amazingly tasty recipes on her blog (all THM friendly!)
I also celebrated my 20th birthday earlier this week! Thought I'd share a few photos:
Breakfast, E pancakes, chicken sausage, cottage cheese!
Mom and I
Lunch at wheat montana! Extra pickles of course!!
Dinner was meat loaf, jalapeƱo poppers, and salad.
Mom, dad and I .
Patience made me this awesome German chocolate cake (THM friendly!) and it was to die for!!
I love THM pancakes!!
