My New Journey

As you know - and if you don't I'm about to tell you - I love food. I truly do - in most forms, colors, shapes and sizes. I love anything sweet or salty - and need a compilation of these things with each meal. You can probably guess that this is becoming a problem for me as I get a little older and these foods are showing up in places that I don't want them! :) Working two jobs and staying so busy (Plus my 2nd job is at Chipotle) makes it hard for me to eat right.

So on the year anniversary of me starting my Plexus journey - I am adding something new to the mix (I actually started two days ago but for nostalgic purposes I'll say today). I will continue to take my Plexus Slim and vitamins as I normally do but I have added a new eating regimen - Trim Healthy Mama.

I have to say it - these ladies know what they are talking about! After day 1 I stepped on the scale and was 2.5 lbs. lighter, wasn't hungry and ready to take on the next day. Today as I stepped up there I was anticipating seeing the same number as before because I know how my weight fluctuates but to my surprise another pound was gone! Another great thing about the authors is that they are strong, Christian women and use the Bible to show you what God says about food and it's health benefits for your body.

If you don't know what Trim Healthy Mama is - go to their website!

http://www.trimhealthymama.com/

Here you will find recipes, testimonials and even E-versions of their book.

The thing about it is that I thought eating in a more healthy way meant I had to deprive myself of things I love like CHEESE, dressings and other tasty foods but I was way wrong. Using their S and E meal plans and recipes have been a breeze! I even made my own "muffin in a mug" and it was so tasty.

If you need something that will help you kick off great eating habits then you definitely should try this. It's easy and you can still eat out!

Here are my meals from the past two days:

Monday:

Breakfast: Raspberries in plain Greek Yogurt
Lunch: 2 McDonald's cheeseburgers - no bun
Snack: Blackberries and cottage cheese + Good Girl Moon Shine Drink (recipe on the site)
Dinner: Chicken Quesadillas on Low Carb tortillas with veggies and sour cream.
Snack: Muffin in a mug (recipe in book)
Tuesday:
Breakfast: Strawberries in plain Greek Yogurt
Lunch: Pepper Popper stuffed Mushroom with Zucchini fries + the Shrinker Drink (recipe on the site)
Dinner: Steak Bowl from Chipotle with Brown Rice, Black Beans, Steak and Mild Salsa

I will keep you all updated on my progress and share some of my favorite meals via my blog.

So  share with your friends because THM is an awesome eating plan and can definitely help you kick your weight loss into high gear and get you on track to making smarter food choices!
