Becoming a Trim Healthy Mama

Hi, my name is Martha and I'm an overweight, foodaholic. As a wife and mother, I have so much to be healthy for. Now that we're planning on having another baby this year, I need to start trimming down. That is so hard to do because I love food.

Over the weekend, I finally decided to follow the Trim Healthy Mama Plan so I bought the book. I'm slowly digesting all the information I'm learning and I'm excited about preparing healthy meals for my family. 

The best part is that I'll have a great support system once I'm following the plan. My in-laws are following the plan as well. My sister-in-law even has a baking blend recipe to share with us. I look forward to baking without wheat flour!

I have also decided to start using Stevia for a sweetener. I plan to mix it with regular sugar for now and slowly cut back on using sugar. I will have to come up with a nice blend for baking though.

I'm excited about this new phase in my life. THIS IS NOT A DIET. IT IS A PLAN. I will be eating fats. I will be eating carbs. I will be eating sweet desserts. I will just learn to eat certain food groups together so that they balance each other out.

This blog will document my journey. My journey as an overweight woman to a trim, healthy, mama. This journey won't happen overnight and it won't be without its speed bumps. But I'll make it to the finish line. Hope to see you all there...cheering me on to victory.
