In this video I take you with us on our first camping trip of 2021! We had a great time with friends, lots of really good food, and lots of relaxation. I share with you everything I ate during our trip. Do you think I stayed on the THM plan or did I totally blow it? You’ll have to watch and see! We had some unexpected excitement AND we celebrated Olivia’s 21st Birthday! So come on….go camping with us!
In this video I start off with my new intro. I think it turned out pretty cute. Let me know what you think! Then, of course, I share some Ollie and Sally….a video wouldn’t be complete without them! The bulk of the video, though, is a storytime segment where I answer a viewers question…”Could you explain Trim Healthy Mama?” I give my history with THM past, present, and future and I explain, to the best of my ability how the plan works.
In this video I do a little cleaning and I share some THM recipes in a cooking segment. Of course there is a little chattin’ too. And how could I not include a little Ollie?
I have never done a video like this before but I thought it sounded like a fun video to do and it also kept me on track eating the Trim Healthy Mama plan. In this video I share with you absolutely everything I ate for an entire week, every breakfast, lunch, supper and snack. I tried my best to say true to the THM plan and I think I did really well. I stayed full and satisfied and by the end of the week I do feel like I’ve lost some weight, my pants are looser at any rate (but I won’t get on that hateful scale!) There were a few ups and downs during the week and we had some unexpected challenges, but I’m proud that I stuck to the plan. I hope you find this video helpful and entertaining.
I want to get back on this Trim Healthy Mama journey right! One of the ways that helps me stay on track and stay motivated to eat right is when I have healthy THM friendly snacks and meals ready to go and easy to grab. This video is all about food prep. If you like high speed knife skills and cooking videos….this is the video for you!
In this video I share with you a new to me recipe, that turned out to be a family hit, and will fast become a family favorite. This time of year what is better than pumpkin spice anything, and you can’t lose with a pumpkin spice cake! Better still, this cake is dairy free, low fat, and Trim Healthy Mama-ish. I think it is THM-E, but it could be a cross over. In any case, it is made with wholesome, healthy ingredients, is high fiber, low fat, low sugar, and whole grain. Give it a try, I know you won’t be disappointed!
Recipe:
Ingredients:
2 1/2 C. whole wheat flour or sprouted grain flour
1/2 C. Stevia blend + 2/3 C. coconut sugar ~OR~ 1 2/3 C. coconut sugar

In this video I spend the afternoon doing a bunch of food prep to make life easier for the week. It also helps me to stay on track with my healthy eating plan. It’s nice to have a bunch of fruit and veggies cleaned and prepped in the refrigerator for quick and easy snacks and side dishes. I wash and process a bunch of different veggies and fruit and the last thing I did was bake some low fat Trim Healthy Mama approved cookies.
Peanut Butter Oat Cookies
Combine all ingredients. Preheat oven 400 degrees. Bake 10 minutes or until firm yet moist on the inside

In this Day In The Life I share a project that Scott has been working on, plus hint about a future project that is coming up. (I am so excited about it!!) I share what I eat in a day eating the Trim Healthy Mama way. Olivia and I go thrifting and I share our finds. My door is open, come on in and spend the day with me!
It’s the beginning of a new month so it is time for another grocery haul. In this haul I have include many Trim Healthy Mama Friendly, and Low Carb options for those who might be following either of those eating plans. As always it is a large haul. Enjoy!
In this Day In The Life I do a container garden update, talk about invading raccoons and show you the animals. I also do a “What I Eat In A Day on Trim Healthy Mama. I show you absolutely everything I ate, and this is very typical of what I have been eating since starting back on THM. Also, have I lost any weight?? If I have how much? You’ll have to watch to find out. So, my door is open, come on in and spend the day with me!
