Ok, so I know it's been quite a few months, but my life has been INSANE! But now I'm in a umique and somewhat difficult situation for a THMer. Myself and my family are now living with another family due to circumstances, and none of them do THM, and there's about ten of us in all...that's a lot of people! Trim Healthy Momma can sometimes be a little more expensive than a normal diet, so it's just my mom and I, so now I'm going to share with you all this journey my loving God has put us in. :)
So for the past months, I haven't been faithful to THM, but now I've decided to go back at it!Lately it's been a little challenging, and I've had to get pretty creative with trying to stay good...but it's been a huge challenge. Most of the meals that are prepared by someone other than me, can not be modified to me Trim Healthy Momma friendly. :/ But I'm persevering, because I don't wan to give up just because it's hard! If our Lord, Jesus Christ, had done that, we would all be condemned to hell.

So let's talk about some things I've come to love to eat for meals lately! :) For breakfast, ive come to be best buds with the blender, we've gotten pretty close! So a pretty typical breakfast is smoothies, which are surprisingly good! Due to the circumstances, I will be unable to get too creative with my flavors, and meals in general. oh well! Hmm, for lunch, I mostly eat quesadillas, and every time i make one, I'm reminded of a seen in this amazingly cheesy movie: "Napoleon Dynamite".   But back to my food...I love quesadillas, they're fast, cheap, and taste fabulous! hehe I've found that if you use a low carb wrap, grilled chicken, cheese, sour cream, and salsa you've got yourself an amazing meal. Every once in a while though, I'll mix it up and make it with taco meat, sour cream (or ranch!) and cheese. mmm so good! Usually, the type of meat we use for taco meat, is ground turkey from Costco. So basically those two things, are the main things I'll eat for breakfast and lunch.
So lately, I've come to be close friends with our coffee pot as well, I'll usually drink a cup in the morning. Sooo good! But if you're like me before THM, you like a little coffee with your cream and sugar. lol! So I put a lot of sugar in, but with THM, i can't...so i had to find a solution! Stevia Sweet Drops were pretty good, but they're sooo expensive! Well, one day i was as Miejer, my mom and i saw this sweetener called "Skinnygirl liquid sweetener"...It's not only cheaper, but WAY better (in my coffee drinking opinion). It cuts back on the bitterness, and is way sweeter in general. This is planned proved, it's basically a stevia extract.  Even though it seems scary, not doing sugar is actually a very good opportunity to strengthen your self denial. So we CAN do this THMers! It's such an amazing goal we're heading towards, who doesn't want to feel healthy?!?! So let's do this thing!
