I am a turtle when it comes to loosing weight. I'm thrilled if I loose a pound in a month. It's frustrating but I'm learning a lot about how my body works.
A couple of years ago, I started following the Trim Healthy Mama plan & this was a HUGE game changer for me.
I had tried MANY other plans/diets and not had much success.
So I was thrilled to find something that worked!
After many ups and downs in the last 12 months, I am stalled out with a few more pounds that I want to shed.
I tried a scheduled free style plan in the early summer. That helped by getting me focused on including different meal types every few days. But it is time for a change.
Ways I'm trying to really shake up my metabolism and bring things to a new level.
- I’m avoiding eating calorie dense foods & adding more veggies to each meal.
- I’m shooting for meals that are filling but allow my body to go for the stored energy(fat) that I’m carrying around.
- I’m drinking more healthy drinks and putting more movement in to my week.
