I'm glad to say that THM is a plan that encourages jumping back in and moving forward! Just like my walk with the Lord.....He's there even when I choose not to meet with Him everyday.....so is THM! Both are gracious! My fall is in the past and I'm happy to report that I've been on plan for 2 weeks and have lost 2 lbs! WooHoo! I'm even working out 3x a week! Am I tired? Yes. Am I sore? Yes. Can I think more clearly? YES! Am I glad to be back? Absolutely!
You know, I think in America we've done ourselves a great disservice by misunderstanding what the "pursuit of happiness" actually means. It doesn't mean we have to find a life that is happy.....it means that we have the freedom to choose to do the things in our lives that give us joy and fulfillment!! For me, eating gives me great joy, but gaining weight does NOT! So finding a plan that allows me to choose to eat foods that are healthy AND taste good is essential! THM provides both of those things and I couldn't be more grateful.
My goal for August is to get back into the 260's....I have 5.5lbs to go! So close!! It looks like I'm losing about 1 lb a week and I'm learning to be content with that! I've also started to include about 3 or 4 E meals a week this week. I have PCOS and my body doesn't handle carbs very well (as in, I've never lost weight eating them!), but when I stick to oatmeal and fruit as my main sources of carbs instead of gluten-based carbs the scale still moves down! YAY!
That's all, Folks! I have a few more posts in production.....about food (chicken fried steak....this southern girl is in hog heaven!!), not about me falling off any wagons! LOL! And I promise to post again no later than next week!
Blessings!
Dana
