My 2014 Weight Loss Challenge Weeks 4-8

It has been over a month since I have given you any updates on my Weight Loss challenge for 2014.
Last time I updated you I was working on my kitchen and oh I'm so glad to say all I have left to do is paint the door! Yes, I am that kind of person that can't say I'm done till that last detail is completed. Here is just a little bit of what I've been doing the last two months. Still waiting to put up the wall decorations till I know for sure what I really want on them.

 We had to place a custom made order for this blinds but we are so glad we did! I still have to hang my curtains but I love it!

 This is a small built in shelf that I didn't know what to do with it. I bought some items at the vintage thrift store and I think it came out pretty nice.

This is my Pinterest inspired Coffee Station. So far it has become our favorite and most used spot in our kitchen.

Now to my Weight Loss Challenge update:
I have been doing pretty good sticking to my diet but I must say, weekends are always the hardest and I find myself having to do S meals (Trim Healthy Mama) to fix what my last meal ruined. I have to say that after all these years of trying diet after diet, this is the first time I feel I have adopted a new way of eating. This is HUGE people! If you are like me this is what we always dream of finding but we are so addicted to DIETS that we never find that perfect one that will help us get there. 
The turning point for me was my health. I have been dealing with real health issues for the past 4 yrs. and managing my insulin levels is a must and no longer a choice. I'm not diabetic but I do have an overload of insulin in my body (insulin resistance) and this keeps me from loosing weight. Because of this health issue I have only lost 5 lbs in the last 2 months of following THM but I have noticed that my clothes fit so much better and I no longer have issues with my insulin dropping unless I go off plan. I have so much energy and LOVE the recipes I have tried!
For those of you that don't know what Trim Healthy Mama is here is a link to a wonderful blog that I use frequently:

Here is a recipe I have been having at least 3x a week for the past month and it's oh so good! This recipe belongs to Trim Healthy Mama-Chocolate Muffin in a Mug and I found it on this blog:
Colourful Palate

I place a big spoonful of Fat Free Greek Yogurt on my plate and than I eat it like this!

This is oh soooo good! You must try it!
