On the healthy side of yummy

Max has been gone for over a week now. That leaves me plenty of time to be bored around the day. I only have one week of school left, then I'll be done with the semester and can completely focus on getting everything ready for immigration. We haven't heard back from NVC yet, but I'm hopeful it won't be taking too long until I can finally go to the visa interview in Frankfurt.

Well, since I have plenty of time right now, I decided it would be perfect to get into a healthier mode and focus on cooking from scratch (well, for the most part). I have come to find that I don't have to go to bed hungry if I just cook food that focuses on "natural" ingredients. Meaning - I want to eat food that is not produced with a bunch of chemical substances that I can't even pronounce. So far, I've been eating that way for a week and I have to say it works! I don't really like weighing myself, I try to avoid it as much as possible since I don't think that numbers should have any influence about how I feel about myself. What I do is so simple. I check the mirror - and lately - I've been feeling pretty damn good about myself.

And isn't that what it's all about? You feeling good about yourself? I'm still curvy and I want to stay that way. I like my curves and would not trade them for anything. At the same time though - I noticed eating the way I am lately makes me feel better. It's weird but I used to have nightmares every night and they seem to be gone! I wake up every morning and am not exhausted but looking forward to the day ahead. I've been only doing this for a week, but the results speak for themselves.

I got a couple of recipes that I really enjoy cooking and I want to share them with you! I will start posting them under the topic - on the healthy side of yummy - from now on. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
