| Finally had the energy to cut up these vegetables I bought last week! This is literally the first time I've done this in 7 years. I always had my kids do it because I was too tired. |
Here are just some of the things I'm experiencing after my first week on Trim Healthy Mama:
- A LOT of energy. I am a napper...or WAS a napper. I've not been able to take a nap in a week. I've tried. I've begged and pleaded---nuthin'. Can't sleep. But I'm getting great sleep at night! Instead, I'm getting housework done that I usually put off on one of the kids. I'm also making everyone crazy by dancing around the house and singing silly made up songs all. day. long.
- Regular sleep schedule. I'm going to sleep about 11:00 pm and waking about 6:00. Much better than the 2am-7:30am schedule that exhausted me in the mornings and caused me to sleep three hours in the afternoons.
- Looser fitting clothing. A lot of this is due to a huge decrease in inflammation, but I'm probably going to be tossing some shirts by next weekend!
- Far less pain. I'm able to sit down, stand up, Fight! Fight! Fight! much easier.
- I waddle a little less. That's always nice.
- NO SUGAR CRAVINGS! I didn't really even have much of a crazy sugar detox episode. There was one night when I was unexplainably sad for the evening....but, other than that, I've been only happy and headache-free! I think I can attribute this to eating mainly "S" meals. I've heard that helps with the sugar cravings and it seems to be true in my case!
- Hope. I feel hopeful that I can conquer this giant. I feel God working in my life, I know he's anointed me to do this good thing. I'm excited!
You are rocking it!!!! Go Sarah!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Sarah! Congratulations on a successful week!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing well Sarah! I want to get the THM book. I think I will try to earn a gift card for Amazon so I can get it. I've heard good things about THM.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Sarah! That's the real payoff, when you start feeling better and have more energy to do the things you love and that God is calling you to do. Thanks for the inspiration to make healthy choices today. Our family does the same thing with the veggie tray! I love it, because the kids can snack on it ANYTIME, and if they turn their noses up at it, I know they're not really hungry. Also, have you ever tried green smoothies? My favorite is a couple handfuls of spinach with unsweetened coconut milk, frozen banana, blueberries, strawberries, and some seeds like flax, chia, or sunflower seeds. The more fruit you put in it, the more it tastes like dessert. It makes a great mid-morning pick-me up.
