Menu Plan Monday

Back to our school schedule and busy evenings and for my photography business it’s busy season for sure.  4h meetings, and scouts, fundraisers are starting back too, as well as daily homework and meals to plan out that everyone will enjoy (isn’t’ this always a struggle?)  But college football is back and we’ve been enjoying the Saturday evening games with wings, dove breasts and more good eats.  What are your favorite football watch meals?

I am still kicking along with my Trim Healthy mama lifestyle diet and feeling lighter and so good each day making good healthy decisions for myself and my family.  They see the new ingredients I am using and I love being a healthy example to them that eating healthy isn’t boring or gross.  Most of the meals on my plan this week are THM friendly and/or easy to convert in a healthier way.  I do still cook real food and real meals my family will eat, with just a few tweaks here and there (slow burning carbs and healthier sugars).  And I am down about 18lbs which feels so great and encouragement to keep going.

Here’s what caught my eye this week and what I’m reading:

•  I’ve been listening to Whitney Way Thore, “I Do It with the Lights On: And 10 More Discoveries on the Road to a Blissfully Shame-Free Life” she tells of her life with weight gain, loss, struggles and PCOS.  It’s raw and real and so relatable (even if you don’t struggle with weight issues), she’s encouraging all the while, and so very entertaining.  I love hearing her read in her own voice too.  We are friends just chatting it feels like.  I love listening on Audible and if you sign up you get 2 free books!
• Fabfitfun Fall boxes will be shipping soon, have you snagged yours yet?  Get it now and get $5 off your first box.  I can’t wait to see what comes for fall.  Last fall I got a gorgeous shawl I still use almost daily.
• My blogging friend Courtney Lynn just released her new cook book (Potluck Perfect) stop by to support her and get a copy for yourself. (Kindle version available also)
• Most popular recipes on the blog this week, Pumpkin Protein Cookies and Friendship Casserole, most referred blog post (thanks),  and most popular pin on pinterest.
