Bento cheater!

I cheated and made frozen pizza rolls for bento. I understand that there's "rules" to bento and I didn't exactly break them except...my bento for today isn't super healthy. But it's better than fast food! 

Hello World

My mornings look like this. 

I am trying to be as consistent as I can be with Bento. It's tough!! Sometimes I just don't feel like putting in my extra 40 minutes to prep lunches! 

When I don't...I always end up with greasy fast food. Which I hate myself for afterwards. So I keep trying! You must always try. :-) 

My bento hasn't been super pretty lately, so I have been holding off a bit on the photos. 

-Wayword. 

So so so busy!

It seems like school started with a bang and we're so off...to somewhere. Lol. Life has just been so busy! Between working, school, the kiddos and their after school stuff....tsk tsk! 

This week I have been attempting to focus on good things. Good thoughts for me and good thoughts towards others. This involves work, home, and the drive home!! I am polite, cheerful and encouraging at work. I make all efforts to be kind and respectful at home, especially to my husband and kids. Then there's the road rage...which is getting better! 

In my personal achievements, I was able to hang out with my ex and his wife(think slutty ex-best friend that wasn't) without harming anyone! I am so proud of me! In my mind I literally can't stand her or her character...ugh! But, I did. I talked nicely and behaved like an adult!! Go figure!! 

It must be my diet! Speaking of which...

Our bento has ben going well. I'm liking the process. It's hard to think of food my kids will eat and food that will taste good cold. For now, they mostly eat raw veggies and fruit. But, I'm working towards better bento! 

All in all, in spite of how busy I am, I am managing life pretty well *knocks on wood*. 

Hope you are too!

New beginnings!

Jolie, Kaitlyn and Daniel, first day of the 2013 year! Dan is so tall and handsome. Kaitlyn is just chill and ready to take on the 6th grade! My baby is so fine and fashionable. She's so excited to start the year. I love it! 

They are so precious! I'm so grateful for smart, healthy children. 

I made bento for the first day! It was really pretty easy. I made teriyaki chicken skewers, rice, nuts and fruit. I hope the kids like them. I'm eating mine while I blog this and it's pretty fabulous. 

Since taking bento to work, whether or not it's relative, I have lost 3 pounds. Not to mention I feel so much cleaner on the inside. If that makes any sense at all. I feel like I'm getting accustomed to eating healthy. It's not a diet, I've made changes to how and what I eat. :-) 

Happy Trails!

I'm toast!

Too many bad decisions! But it's never good to hop off the wagon for good. Even if you have fallen off a couple of times. I celebrated starting my diet with 2 apple cinnamon muffins and a kit kat bar. Now, even for a diabetic that's a bit much. Ya know? Keep on keeping on.
