My Journey to self love, and growth.

Dinner I made tonight: zucchini shrimp alfredo. And @lulubette made garlic toast. It was delicious. Zucchini is clearly a staple in my diet. #healthyfood #healthy #wlsfood #wlsfamily #wls #rny #rnyfood #20poundstogo #tasty #missingmara #yum #yummy

Before dinner salad, I'm using the new Kraft fig dressing and I love it! So folks tell me how you like your salads, what do you put in yours??? #howdoyoulikeyoursalad #30poundstogo #health #healthy #healthyfood #stillontrack #missingmara #weightlossjourney #salad #yum #rny #rnyinstacrew #rnycommunity #rnyfood #rnylife #wls #wlscommunity #wlsjourney #wlsfood #wlsfoodie

Having a horrible day/evening/night so i made protein peanut butter cookies. I replaces 1cup of flour with half cup vanilla whey protein and the other half was flour, added trail mix too. Brown sugar on top. No other sugar added. The sweetness from the protein does the trick. #rnyfood #rny #wlsjourney #wlscommunity #wlsfood #wlssnacks #healthycookies #healthysnacks #healthfood #rnyfoodie #rny #wls #mood #feelinglikeshit #depression #nomotivation

Before bed tea. This is mint ginger tea so good! I use one sweetener in it. Helps with gas pains, and such. #tea #tealife #rnylife #weightloss #weightlossjourney #teatime #wls #wlscommunity #wlslife #yum #rest #treatyourbody #makelovedrinktea #missingmylove
