Let's Get Healthy

So....here we are....back from our Florida trip and back to reality. The reality is that now it is time to focus on what we are eating. For several reasons, Tom and I have been "searching" for years for a healthy way of eating that works for our lifestyle. We believe we have found it. We started changing a few things in the last month or so and can definitely see that it will work for us as a whole a family.

I was introduced to the book "Trim Healthy Mama"  (THM) and read it, in its entirely, in a very short amount of time. It makes so much sense to me. It's not a fad. It's not about gross food. It's not something that requires me to change my eating habits but continue to feed everyone else in the house the wrong food. It is realistic. It teaches you why eating a certain way is better and it is not about getting skinny. It is about getting healthy and that is what we want.

Like with any lifestyle change, it is hard. It is going to be a learning process for Tom and myself but I am really excited to go full force and see the healthy changes in our entire family.

One thing that really bothers me about trying to change eating habits is how hard it is for us as moms. The more we want to eat the right things, the more time we have to spend thinking about food.

I tease my hubby because he says he has no problem going full force 100% on a new eating plan. Of course he doesn't. I am the one who buys his food and prepares it for him. I told him that I need to go to work so eating healthy is easier! hee hee.

So anyways, I will likely be posting any new and helpful information that I find. Please pray for us as we embark on this new journey. I need the prayers to stick with it as I know that this is what God wants for our family for many different reasons.

I am sick of diets that don't work and that aren't really healthy. I am ready for a life change! I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a change. It makes total sense and has so many healing qualities for various illnesses or medical problems that you may be experiencing.
