Trim Healthy Mama Week Two in Review

Well, I’ve been eating the Trim Healthy Mama (THM) way for two weeks now. I will say that I do notice a few minor changes in my body. Prior to THM, I was having some major pain in my right elbow…not sure if it’s tendonitis, arthritis, or what. But — I was to the point of taking a multi-pack of joint vitamins. Now that I’m on THM, it’s not noticeable as much. Now, I don’t know exactly what to attribute that to, but it could be the amount of Apple Cider Vinegar I’m consuming in the Good Girl Moonshine (GGMS)…no, there’s no alcohol in it. So, for that benefit, I’m especially happy.
Here’s a look at what I ate during week two…again, if there’s no picture, then it was most likely a repeat of a prior meal.
Week Two Meals

Day One

Breakfast — 3 THM pancakes smeared with 1/3 fat cream cheese and Raspberry Polaner spread; strawberries (E)
Lunch —
2 sourdough wasa crackers smeared with laughing cow cheese, cucumber, and turkey; 2 boiled egg whites; strawberries (E)
Snack —
cheesecake smoothie (FP)
Supper —
THM cheeseburger pie; salad (S)

Day Two
Breakfast — 2 fried eggs; 3 pieces of bacon; strawberries (S)
Lunch —
2 turkey roll-ups with cream cheese and veggies; 3 boiled eggs; strawberries (S)
Snack —
coconut flour blueberry muffin; 10 squares Lily’s chocolate bar (S)
Supper —
bunless bacon cheeseburger; salad (S)

Day Three
Breakfast —
1 blueberry muffin; 1 scrambled egg w/cheese; 2 pieces bacon (S)
Lunch —
2 sourdough wasa crackers smeared with laughing cow cheese, veggies, and boiled egg whites; apple (E)
Snack —
same as day two (S)
Supper —
grilled chicken sausage with salad (S)

Day Four
Breakfast —
1 blueberry muffin; 2 scrambled eggs w/cheese; 2 pieces of bacon (S)
Lunch —
1/2 grilled chicken sausage with salad (S)
Snack —
cheesecake yogurt smoothie (FP)
Supper —
chicken fajitas from Chili’s (without the tortillas) topped with cheese, sour cream, and guacamole — this was our first meal out since I started eating this way, and it was easy to stay on plan while eating out. I also opted for unsweet tea that I sweetened with Sweet Leaf clear stevia drops (granted, I felt like a goof pulling out my dropper of stevia). (S)

Day Five
Breakfast —
2 blueberry muffins; 2 pieces of bacon (S)
Lunch —
parmesan crusted chicken; steamed broccoli; steamed green beans from Longhorn’s — we chose to eat out again after early church, and I only ate 1/3 of the chicken serving, which was about 3 oz of protein. I chose to drink unsweet tea sweetened with stevia. Most restaurants offer a nutritional menu online so you can see the carbs/fat of each item on the menu…very handy when trying to stay on plan. (S)
Snack —
raspberry cheesecake smoothie (FP)
Supper —
same as lunch (S)

Day Six
Breakfast —
2 THM pancakes smeared with 1/3 fat cream cheese and raspberry Polaner spread; 1/2 of a seedless orange with coconut creme 000 yogurt (E)
Lunch —
last 1/3 of chicken from Longhorn’s; veggies w/Ranch; ricotta cheese w/raspberries (S)
Snack —
smoothie made with cottage cheese (FP) **
Supper —
THM Pizza Casserole; salad (S)

Day Seven
Breakfast —
2 THM pancakes smeared with 1/3 fat cream cheese and raspberry Polaner spread; 2 pieces Canadian bacon (96% lean); seedless orange (E)
Lunch —
1 slice of sesame Ezekiel bread w/fat free mozzarella cheese and 1 piece Canadian bacon; 1 sourdough wasa cracker smeared with laughing cow cheese, peppers, and Canadian bacon; 1/2 of a seedless orange (E) **
Snack —
THM light baked custard w/macerated raspberries (FP) **
Supper —
2 fried eggs, bacon, and sauteed mushrooms over a bed of spinach (S)
**Again, these were not my favorites. The cottage cheese in the smoothie didn’t taste right to me, but maybe that’s because I’m not a huge cottage cheese fan. I’ve learned that I’m not really a fan of Ezekiel bread either. The THM light baked custard was just nasty…I don’t know if it messed up by leaving out the (optional) glucomannan, or what, but I won’t try it again.
I also wanted to add that I will sometimes have a snack before bed...this is rare, but on the rare occasion that I do, it's either an attempt at a THM dessert, muffin in a mug, or 10 pieces of a Lily's chocolate bar. I don't include these on my meals b/c it's rare enough that I just don't. LOL!

Now, for the results from the scale:
Week 1 loss: 5.2 lbs
Week 2 loss: 1.6 lbs
TOTAL weight loss so far: 6.8 lbs

Keep in mind, it's not only about the scale. It's also about how you feel and look. I can tell that I'm losing inches, but since we didn't do measurements at the beginning, I'm waiting to report on those at the one month weigh in.
