So it's been a few months of trying to figure out this Trim Healthy Mama thing. During this time Hubby decided he wanted to try a food rotation to help heal his eczema. We started a four day food rotation that I got from my friend Stacey. We started and lived it for a few weeks. Stacey found it to be less stressful and made meals much easier for her and her family. For me it was the complete opposite. I hated it! I couldn't make anything that I wanted and Hubby was struggling with giving up several items that had mixing day ingredients. So instead we decided to go gluten free. So that's where we are right now.
Lucky for us there is a THM Allergy facebook page. They have been so helpful to me in picking things that will not only help me with my own health goals but will help Hubby in his health goal of healing his skin. The best part is that if we have to give up dairy and/or eggs as well there are plenty of people living that same lifestyle that will help guide me through that as well.
So with figuring everything out, changing our way of eating several times, getting sick and regular life I haven't been doing too well with sticking to plan 100%. But I have been trying to follow the basic principles and avoiding sugar. I have officially given up sugar filled creamers in my morning coffee and even gave up cream all together. I now use stevia with unsweetened vanilla almond milk and it's delicious. With it starting to warm up I've started drinking it cold and it's very refreshing first thing in the morning. So far I've lost 8 pounds and I'm OK with that. Before I started adding in THM principles I was still slowly gaining which I was not OK with.
