Eating for Jesus

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies

I know everyone is probably tired of hearing about these 'health nuts' weight loss adventures and how much theyre working out and all the bragging but ive officially jumped on this bandwagon! 

We are officially living as Vegans. 

(We) as in Anthony and Kyndall and I.

 Its harder on Kyndall i think because she really likes mac and cheese. Ill just cook vegan pasta with vegan cheese. shell never know ;D

    Ive wanted to get back to my 'before baby body' for so long now. Back then i didnt have to do much. I was skinny already and just a few sit ups did the trick! But then i nursed for 18 months and was really hungry in that period of my life. I haven't gained a ton of weight or anything but i did get lazy and out of shape and ive also ate soooo much junk food. I think thats what dropped my milk supply at the end. 

    Im a pretty tired person. I wake up in the morning already exhausted (a Mombie) from wrestling a toddler all night for the covers and getting poked in the eye every 10 minutes. i roll out of bed for one reason. COFFEE. Coffee is so good. I makes me feel good. It tastes good. Its warm <3 ...Oh sorry...moving on. Tired! Im not a morning person haha! It takes me the majority of the first half of the day to drink my coffee and i usually dont get hungry enough to eat until about 1 or 2. Ill usually cook spaghetti, mac and cheese...something with pasta 90% of the time or a sandwich (roast beef or bologna with mustard and mayo on white bread). Then ill be exhausted again and feel like i need a 5 hour nap. i usually drag through my errands and whatever work i have the rest of the day until Anthony is home from work around 5:30. Then i wake up a little, cook a dinner and we eat. Then we are usually so tired we have to go to bed. He is usually tired too before he gets home. He works really hard but eats junk all day. i feel like i never really fully wake up.

 Day wasted.

Monday Jan 23rd we started watching documentaries and reading about the health risks of eating sugar and processed foods. We went to walmart and bought $40 worth of vegetables and fruit and thats what we ate this week. We even started on a garden. we are hoping by the end of the year to only have a $20 grocery bill.

On Monday i weighed 120lbs. Not bad but hard for a girl who weighed 80lbs all through high school and 100lbs her whole adult life! I dont want to be super skinny. I just want to be healthy.

Today i weighed a little over 116lbs. Thats almost 4 pounds in less than a week!!!!!

ive not exercised at all. Just changed what im eating.

Although we did go walking this passed weekend and plan to more often as it gets warmer:

aint she cute!!!!

I feel fuller, more awake, im sleeping better and my blemishes are clearing up!!!

cool huh!

***** i have to add, some may be wondering why i am doing this. Well below is a scripture that can somewhat explain why. But the main reason is because of (once again) the Proverbs woman. I am striving daily to be like that! I am more precious than RUBIES so why on earth wouldnt eat like i am. Why would i treat my body as if it were the most precious gift i have. Because it is. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. 
Our bodies are a temple. Adam and Eve were given plants to eat. Thats what God intended for us. So thats what im going to do! 

BLESSINGS TO YA
