It’s a wonder I get anything done on Wednesday!! I love reading everyone’s WIAW posts and seeing all the good eats. Plus I’m trying to remodel my room AND there is a Dance Moms marathon on today (those moms cannot be real). I’ve been trying so many new foods lately so im super excited to share. I’ve been feeling so much better since I cut down on the amount sugar and diet sodas I consume. I don’t let myself drink coffee after 6 and by midnight im out like a light. I love getting 8 hours sleep and waking up with energy.
Breakfast:
Naked Green Machine
Salad beast with veggies and low fat chicken salad
Finally tried this tea, not my favorite yet but better for me than soda
After picking my sister up from school we swung by Mickey D’s (her choice, not mine) for a snack. She got a burger and PARFAIT (not ice cream!! I guess I’m rubbing off on her?)
Mickey D's fat-free iced coffee and apple dippers
I decided to get a little creative with dinner since I was babysitting

Favorite new food you tried recently?? What are your philosophies toward food?? Do you find it hard to get back to exercising after time off??
It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.Psalm 18:32-34 NIV
recently, i tried raw oats mixed with greek yogurt, chia seeds, and flax seeds. it was so good!
I remember the first time I added chias to my oats, I was shocked at how much bigger my oatmeal was!! Its one of my gavorite winter time meals
Hi Ashley! This is super amazing to read! You are feeling better and doing better, hooray, I am so glad for you!
I hope you keep your progress and keep on enjoying all those new and tasty meals 
And thanks for the recipe, sounds great!
Recently I have tried nothing new, unfortunately…but I was in an amazing Lebanese restaurant on Monday and had the best hummus and falafel ever
I’m loving how great I feel after eating more REAL foods!! Less sugar and more fats give me so much energy. Yumm hummus is one of my favs. I may have to splurge on some tomorrow
yayyy for pumpkin bread recipe!!! thank you for sharing girl!! i tried too many new things lately that are delicious! right now I am loving smores mojo bars and biscoff cookies!!!
Mojo bars are soo good!! Still I think Luna bars are my favorites
yay for pumpkin bread! I think I’m makin pumpkin muffins tomorrow and I”m excited!
hope the gym went okay! I always find it really hard to work out after time off, especially getting motivation to work out. Thats why I never take any time off, except for one rest day!
Yummm pumpkin bread sounds so good!! I didn’t really mean to take time off but I had to. I know what you mean about losing motivation. I’m hoping some new ipod tunes will help me out.
Hey Ashley, thanks for the sweet comment on my blog! I’m really glad to have found yours now, too!
I am all about pumpkin this time of year, so your pumpkin bread is making me hungry!
I’m so obsessed with pumpkin I may start to turn orange soon
when i am in a workout routine, it’s hard for me to miss a workout. but when i haven’t worked out in a while, getting back to it is definitely tough too!!
I know what you mean, once I get back started working out regularly, I can’t imagine life without it.
Awww your pizza is too cute!!
Thank you I was babysitting 5 year olds so I had to keep them entertained, but I may do it even when I’m not babysitting now
