As I mentioned, I would honestly answer any questions that readers might have. So here's the first one!
Q. How easy is it to fall asleep at night while taking Healthy Trim? Do you find yourself restless?
A. To be honest, I've noticed that it takes a bit more time to fall asleep while taking the Healthy Trim. I try not to take the second capsule after 12, because otherwise it's 11 or 12 before I fall asleep. It hasn't caused me to wake up in the middle of the night, but I have noticed that I am a bit more restless after the first alarm goes off. I used to be able to fall right back asleep, not so much anymore- but who knows, that could be the stress of work as well.
Great question! Thanks for asking.
Remember, if you have a question feel free to e-mail it to girlonhealthytrim@gmail.com I'll be answering them as they come in!

The Weekend...
As I get ready to start another week on Healthy Trim, I'm still SORE! We went to the gym on Saturday for a class that usually kicks my butt. This time, it especially did!
It was a great weekend menu: Scrambled eggs, 1/2 turkey sandwich, buffalo chicken sandwich with FRENCH FRIES (mmm), pork chops, garlic green beans, rosemary potatoes, and a few yogurts along the way.
I feel pretty healthy this morning. I think the amount of water intake is really making a difference! I can't wait to see the # on the scale this week! Wish me luck for the week!

Yesterday:
Boy oh Boy! It was quite the interesting day! Normal lunch and such, but I went to an event tasting at a Tapas Restaurant, and was able to really enjoy a little bit of everything without over eating! I wasn't hungry, so I just ate for taste and to enjoy the food, great experience all around!
We had a little bit of calamari (with a spicy Asian mustard sauce), Flank steak with an arugula salad, a fresh mozzarella flatbread, hummus, crab and avacado salad, and a cheese plate. All were very yummy. I even had a little bit of dessert. I wish I could have had more, but luckily, the Healthy Trim made me feel JUST full enough to not take a few last bites!
What's on the plan for today: THE GYM. I'm starting to include that into the schedule. Yes, I'm losing the weight- but I want to make sure there's muscle under there!

Food to LOVE...while you're on a diet
Healthy Trim has afforded me the opportunity to make smarter decisions with what I eat. Lunckily, thanks to Healthy Trim, I've been able to lose weight thus far, and continue to do so.
So on this week's edition of F2L, I'm sharing one of my all time favorites: Yogurt.
Reasons it's good for you:
1. Calcium: Surprisingly, you get more from yogurt than you would from a glass of milk. Ladies, this is especially important for us in the earlier years- preventing osteoperosis! Woo Hoo-
2. Potassium: I can't stand bananas, so this is a great way to keep the muscle aches away!
3. Protein: It's got just as much as scrambled eggs, but without the cholesterol
4. Bacteria: Helps with digestion and keeps things "regular" if you will.
Ways to make it yummy:
1. Add fresh fruit: I love adding peach chunks, strawberries, and at times put a little on an apple.
2. Granola: I personally don't like rasins, but you can get granola with almost any type of nuts and with or without rasins, add a fews tbs and you've got a crunchy snack.
3. Nuts: I like adding grape nuts, but I know plenty of people that also include almonds and more.
So I've got quite the sweet tooth, and usually crave something sweet after dinner. Not so much now that I'm taking the Healthy Trim, but some none the less. So I reach for a yogurt, 100calories and just enough to make me happy. There are a few fun flavors out right now and they're my new favorites: Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Orange Creamsicle, Keylime Pie, Chocolate Mouse, and more! I also love the Whipped variety that Yoplait has!

Another quick update!!
It has been a great week so far. Monday I had a great salad for dinner, and we've been doing a lot of fresh veggies and chicken.
I also enjoyed a yogurt with granola for lunch. I've also been snacking on some new great things that I'm going to share in my next "Food to LOVE... while on a diet" post! I'm adding that to my weekly blogging schedule!
I'll be updating on weight later this week... and I can't wait! I'm super excited to share the new # on the scale.
I cheated on lunch Tuesday with pasta- I swear my body aches for it every once in a while- What does your body ache for?
