Birthday shenanigans!

    I’m headed out today to celebrate my birthday, a few days early (3 to be exact!) Since my birthday falls on a Tuesday, I am going to celebrate with some of my family! Breakfast, dinner and DESSERT! I made one simple request! That request was for CHEESECAKE! 


    As many of you already know, I have been on a massive health journey for the past 9 months! I’ve lost 112 pounds and over 115 inches overall, off my body! What?! Crazy, right?! anyway, that health journey doesn’t include refined sugar or carbs! Don’t get me wrong, I still eat the most amazing food, but sometimes I still miss the outrageous sugary desserts and the delectable breads and pastas! Thank GOD for cheat days! Because that is exactly what today is going to be, a cheat day! What I love most about my new lifestyle is that I have ROOM for days like this! I know that after a day of gluttonous eating, I am going to CRAVE my fresh, healthy eats the next day! I eat like shit and hop back on board the very next day as if nothing ever happened and I’m still getting amazing results! 

 

    Don’t ever let anyone tell you that cheat days aren’t okay or necessary.. they’re liars and cheats! They are absolutely necessary for our sanity and honestly, they help jump start your system again! As long as you’re in control enough to not go insane and not hop back on the health wagon, you’re good to go! If you don’t have good self control, learn it and then go about your life! 

 

 

    I was busy drawing my cheesecake fantasies and I illustrated three different kinds! I plan on sampling multiple flavors today! Because, cheat days only last 24 hours AND I’m celebrating my birthday! So, win, win...WIN! 





Blueberry Lemon Drizzle Cheesecake!






Strawberry Chocolate Drizzle Cheesecake! 





Chocolate Drizzle Cherry Cheesecake! 




 

    I’ll post pictures of my day tomorrow! I will be figuring out multiple ways to celebrate my day, since last year, the world stopped a few days BEFORE my birthday and I was quarantined! I celebrated getting HAMMERED with quarentini’s! 

 

 

    
Anyways, happy weekend y'all, go out and do something you enjoy! 

 

 

XOXO

Cookie Era!

Image
  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

My Manic...

Image
     I have been stressing myself out lately about perfection. I can’t share anything I do unless I know it’s perfect. It’s probably going to give me an ulcer.       I decided today that I didn’t need perfection.      It’s not about that. I mean I’ve always known that but I am so unbelievably hard on myself that I allowed those feelings to creep in and attack my inner peace!        I haven’t felt that manic in about a year! So it was definitely something that I had to take care of right away! I almost forgot that my manic was an emotional response to stress.          I was being unappreciative of my own strengths, too hard on my personal weaknesses and turning a blind eye to my mental state.       I called it quits yesterday and decided to do absolutely nothing all day to let my brain rest and recover from my own abuse. Until inspiration hit and I decided to DOODLE.  ...

Ditch Kitty!

Image
  It’s been awhile since I’ve had an update on my little rescued ditch kitty! Sirius is thriving! he came to me at 1.5 pounds soaking wet and he’s up to 7.5 pounds now! Which is perfectly in line for his age! He’s all up to date on his vaccinations and he doesn’t have to go back for another year! (Unless he needs to!) His personality can only be described as wildly unpredictable and entertaining! His favorite things are wet food, cucumbers and pull tabs from my almond milk and playing nonstop!
