Trim Healthy Mama Week 7 in Review

Here we are at the end of week 7 in my Trim Healthy Mama (THM) journey.  If you've been following my journey, then you know that I've posted that it's getting easier and easier.  Again, for me, the key is to find what works and just make that your plan.  If that means eating the same meal a few days in a row, so be it...it makes it simple.  I also (as you know from following my journey) write down every meal, and I also take pictures.  I can always go back and look for ideas or see the nutritional content of something I've already prepared.  Yes, I'm a numbers girl...I write down the fat, carbs, and protein of nearly every item in my meals (at least the first time).  You don't have to do that with this plan, but since I'm just a bit anal retentive and OCD, it's what works for me.  That's the key...do what works for YOU!
