What I Ate Wednesday

You know that lofty goal I had 2 weeks ago? That "I'm going to lose 17 lbs by june" goal. hahaha-ha-haha I have eaten 5 Hamburgers in the past 6 days because for some reason I have had the most incredibly, strong, ridiculous, craving for them! It is scary!
I did my best to eat healthy over the past 2 weeks. Here is how I did.
Im addicted to Sweet Potato Fries!
Here was one delicious mistake! Cream cheese pecan pie and a mocha!
Cinnamon Apples! Yum! I mixed Coconut oil,oats, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon together poured it all over the apples and baked till the apples were soft! Delicious!

That Moment of Realization

There comes a time in a persons life when they realize they are an adult. It happens slowly at first little things. Then, "Woah did I just do that all by myself?" Then you do them with out even thinking about it. I think I'm somewhere in between because I still lean on my parents for a few things. i.e. They pay for my insurance. And when I make larger life decisions I ask them for permission first. Lots of times however It has hit me "I'm an adult because..." Here are some of those times it has happened to yours truly, in no particular order. 1. I go to the automotive repair shop all by myself tell the people what's wrong. Talk to them about it. Discuss prices. take it in to get fixed and pay for it out of my own pocket. 2. I plan trips with my friends and go without even consulting my parents first and they are fine with that. 3. I live in a house with my best friend and pay my own bills. 4. I grocery shop and prepare my own meals. 5. I have a job and pay my taxes. 6. I stay out late sometimes and don't have a curfew. 7. I am no longer told what I can and can't wear or what movies I can't see because I am now trusted as an adult to make that decision for myself. 8. I have to call and schedule my own appointments. 9. I got off my Dads cell phone plan and got my own. 10. When I wrote my first check last year. 12. When kids... or clients for that matter call me ma'am. What? I'm 20!11. I don't consult my Mom every time before I make plans anymore. 12. Those first few times I put gas in my car. 13. I text boys...sometimes... and I don't get in trouble for it. 14. I buy appetizers and sometimes dessert at restaurants because I take care of the bill now. These are some of the things that have made me realize I am a grown up now. Before I depended on my parents for all that stuff but slowly one thing by one I am learning to function and rely on my self to live. I'm thankful for my parents who support and encourage me to be independant.
