Looking back at each decade, I feel both β€˜older’ and β€˜younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live.

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🀣🀣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🀨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

{WIAT} What I Ate Today

It’s so amazing what you can do in the kitchen when you put your mind to it. Since I got back from my vacation 3 weekends ago I came back with such enthusiasm to start cooking again. You see when I left for Uni about 7 years ago now I met a group of girls who I love to pieces more so because they loved to cook and well it was a change for me for once someone else was cooking and I got to enjoy. Anyway since I have been back I have been cooking up a storm of healthy foods without even thinking about it and the best part is my size 12/14 is now on its way back to size 10/12. Anyway back to the post, so what did I get up to today.

Post by Myrabev.

Breakfast – Today I ate the last of my Jordan’s Granola cereal which I got in my september Degustabox, such a sad day but getting some more tomorrow from store.

#breakfast is served this 1st day of November 2014.

Lunch – I kind of skipped lunch today, I ate yoghurt, some Special K crackers crisps from my October Degustabox and drunk loads of water (I actually mean juice).

Dinner – I felt like having a salad as I was not really hungry but with eggs and cooking bacon reaching their expiry date today I figured its do or die day (I crack my self up). So this Egg/Bacon style salad was born, I actually created it a week or so again but forgot about until today.

The best part about being in the kitchen is you don’t have to always follow the recipe you can twick as you go and thats how great chefs have grown (so am told) and improved their skills. There you have it, my what i ate today (WIAT) is done, what did you eat today?

    I love reading food journals and seeing pictures. The granola looks good…so does the salad!

    I’m currently on a wheat-free, sugar-free diet…so for breakfast, I had a Special Dark Chocolate Mug Cake (made with almond flour, ground flaxseed, cocoa powder, chocolate chips and a few other ingredients). It’s like a breakfast muffin, ‘cake’, sweet treat…depending on how you look at it. I topped it with a mixture of cream cheese, butter, and Truvia. For lunch, I had a pastrami sandwich with lettuce and mayo on a “fake bread” made with almond flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, egg, olive oil, and a bit of Truvia. I cannot believe you can make these mug-thingies by popping them in the microwave for 1 minute or so.
