Trim Healthy Update

Over two years ago, my journey with Trim Healthy Living began.  Aligning with this new way of eating has produced the desired effects; check this book out from a library and give it a thorough read through to see if it lands with you.  There are also numerous web sites and articles on-line, though discernment is needed as always when researching on the net.  Pearl and Serene's web site is a trustworthy resource!  THM truly is a lifestyle and not a diet.

If you visit www.trimhealthymama.com, you will see all of their books, two of which are new. Today is the promised delivery date of my copy of their new cookbook.  New recipes feed me spiritually and physically!

Overall, I have been characterized by staying "on plan."  In the past 6 months or so, I have given myself permission far too often to go off plan, however.  A dear friend has spoken grace to me many times (in my memory of her saying this) with "in 3 hours you get to start all over again on plan!" Great self-talk to prevent the "might as well eat ______, since I have already blown it!"

In order to re-synch with the plan, this week is a Fuel Cycle week for me.  A Fuel Cycle is supposed to be a two week event.  Do you already hear my disdain for this idea?  I have been incredibly hungry so far and find the choices limited -- unbelievably, I am kinda tired of sweet snacks and meal ideas. Yep, research is being done as I have time.  And that new cookbook cannot arrive soon enough!!!

Hunger is not usually a problem for me in the THM lifestyle.  This indicates to me that I have not fully understood the Fuel Cycle and am not well prepared with correct food choices for each different type of meal.  (If THM is new to you, DO NOT bog down in this Fuel Cycle rant; I have only recently noticed a change in my metabolism [read that as menopause], which has propelled me to recognize the need to adjust once again.)

On the up side, I know that my body is responding to the fat-flushing power of the Fuel Cycle!  Plus I can hardly wait to go back to "freestyling" on plan, because those favorite foods are magically delicious!

If  you have Fuel Cycle ideas and tips, I'd love to hear from you!
