Happy Monday!
by Meggan Larson
Mondays get a bad rep don’t they? They’re the end of the weekend party, the back to work dread, heck even Garfield hates Mondays! I used to feel the same way about them. I started dreading them every Friday after work! I now look forward to them though.
So what changed?…
Mondays have such incredible potential. The whole week stretches before you and the bad decisions of the weekend are washed away. Monday is a fresh start! For all of you Trim Healthy Mamas or Keto followers, you can grab a meal plan and then make sure to get all of the groceries you will need before next Monday comes along. You can start a new workout routine on Monday. You can decide to finally commit fully to this way of eating. To me, every Monday is a do-over. I’m not suggesting that you should do and eat whatever you want over the weekend but if you make some bad choices or get off track then give yourself some grace and start over on Monday.
This being labor day Monday you may have made some off-plan choices in the name of a long weekend. I get it! But you don’t have to let that set the tone of your entire week. Take today to have some fried eggs (Pearl’s go-to for getting back on plan – yes even PEARL goes off-plan sometimes!), space your meals three hours apart, and keep yourself hydrated. There are over three months left in the year and plenty of time to start reaching some of the goals you set for yourself back in January. There are still 19 Mondays left in the year! Enjoy them, cherish them, and definitely don’t dread them. Spending your time and emotions on dread is no way to live. Start looking forward to all of the incredible possibilities Monday has for you. It’s always just around the corner!

Meggan Larson is a wife, mom of three, and challenge overcomer! Diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and undergoing aggressive chemotherapy, when her second born child was only three months old, gave Meggan an expected twist to her life. Dealing with pregnancy weight gain and the debilitating effects of chemotherapy, Meggan’s weight soared to over 228 pounds. Feeling humiliated with no desire to socialize Meggan was desperate for a change. Shortly after losing 20 pounds with the Trim Healthy Mama program, Meggan found out she was pregnant with baby number three, which ended in an emergency C-section and unexpected hysterectomy. Despite the challenges she faced Meggan has just celebrated her one year “trimiversary”, and her success of releasing just over 60 pounds! Meggan is confident that her success on plan is “doable” for anyone looking to gain back their health and wanting to live a trim and healthy lifestyle!
