hunger

oh sweet potato - how i have come to love thee:)

i apologize for my random thoughts here, but well, i like random!

so day 1 came and went.  it wasn't too bad other than my intense headache from likely sugar withdrawal, the intense desire to fight the headache with the dark chocolate in my freezer, and the questions i threw at myself.

but day 2 dawned with a fresh perspective.  i had survived!  day 2 was easier food wise.  i've eaten potatoes (i can never decide if  potatoes should have an "e" or not!) and lots of spinach and berries.  i'm learning just how much i like to doctor my foods.  i also learned that i miss vegetables which if you have known me for long, you know that vegetables were never on my plate for the first 23 years of my life!

last night we had curry chicken with rice.  mine was a bit bland (the 3 spice ingredients), but still rather tasty.  along with spinach salad and apples.  i decided to make ahead roasted potatoes with chicken for today.  i ate most of it last night when it came out of the oven.  who knew sweet potatoes could be so amazing!

i'm hungry.  truly hungry at meals.

but God is beginning to break my heart.  i can honestly say that i've viewed His world a bit different in only 2 1/2 days.  i even feel a bit more relaxed.  i had a sweet time at home tomorrow morning and felt like i was hearing God better than before.  it was sweet enough to fill me.

i made cookies yesterday - i didn't have one lick or one warm cookie and you know what?  i didn't even dwell on it!

we really do have a lot.  

energy balls and broccoli - i can't wait to be reunited with you!!!!!!
