I Lost 45 Pounds in 20 Weeks on Nutrisystem #NSNation

Week 20 is complete.  I have lost another two pounds for a total of 45 pounds in 20 weeks.  This is an average of 9 pounds a month for the last 5 months.  I am so proud of myself.  I have decided to move my goal weight to lower than when I started.  I feel as though I will be able to get to a better weight with Nutrisystem.  I am so excited and motivated that I want to reach for a lower weight then I have ever been in my adult life.  

I have always been overweight, as long as I can remember.  I am getting so close to being out of the obese range and into the overweight category.  Once I get there then I can strive to be a weight that is considered normal and no longer overweight.  Nutrisystem works for me and I feel great and I look great too!  I am loving the foods and the program.  Everything about it really works for me.   

 

People are really noticing the weight loss and constantly commenting on it and asking about what I am doing to lose weight.  I tell them that Nutrisystem is the program I am using and it works.  I am so successful with Nutrisystem and I love to tell my friends, family and co-workers about it.  Most people are skeptical about it at first but as I continue to lose weight they are really starting to become believers.  I promise that it works.  I am so happy that I took the plunge and started working on me.  

 

I can't wait to see what next week brings.  2 pounds lost in a week is amazing and I am loving it.  I am so proud to have lost 45 pounds in 20 weeks.  I love to update my blog and share with you all my success.  Nutrisystem rocks and I am the biggest fan!  If you have any questions about Nutrisystem or want to save $30 on your first order just email me and I'll help you get started!

Rudi's Organic Bakery Let's Doodle Lunch Campaign

Through the new Let’s Doodle Lunch Facebook campaign, Rudi’s Organic Bakery is inviting parents to join the Rudi’s Facebook community and upload their kid’s artwork through the Rudi’s Organic page to get a FREE sandwich box with that art on top of the lid from May 1 – June 30. We don’t think there’s ever been anything quite like this before and we hope you’ll join in on the fun!

We’d also love to help you spread the word about this fun program with your readers. Here are a few ideas on how you can incorporate Let’s Doodle Lunch into a blog post:

·         Give away a super cool package to one lucky reader that will help spark some creativity. The art-inspired giveaway, which we can supply, would include: 1 art kit complete with paints, crayons, markers, etc., 1 sketch pad for doodling, 1 black beret for creative inspiration, a reusable Rudi’s Organic bag and 2 free coupons good for any Rudi’s Organic product.

·         Get involved in the action by sharing a photo of your kid creating their masterpiece for their very own sandwich box, and invite your readers to do the same.

·         Once you have the sandwich box, you’d probably like to put something delicious inside of it. Luckily, Rudi’s Organic just launched Sandwich and Bagel Flatz that are the perfect, nutritious and delicious addition to any lunch box. Want to get some samples and share a review? We’d be happy to send you some coupons.

The fun of Let’s Doodle Lunch will continue throughout the summer. All of the designs submitted on Facebook will be instantly viewable online in the Rudipolitan Gallery of Art, and from July 1-31^st all designs will be eligible to become the Rudi’s Organic Official Sandwich Box through Facebook voting. What’s really cool is that votes will also trigger a donation to The Lunch Box, which is helping transition K-12 lunchrooms from processed foods to healthy made-from-scratch meals. Learn more about The Lunch Box by texting “Lunch” to 50555.

Personal Training With Jackie: 30 Day Fast Start Review and Giveaway Ends 5/30/12 at 7 PM EST

I have had this DVD for about a month and I have been using it about twice a week since I received it.  I love this workout.  It's so easy to follow but it really is hard.  I really feel so much stronger and more toned.  Jackie uses the pyramid method, which means that you do two different moves.  You start with one rep of each and then you move up to 10 reps of each.  By the end you have done 55 reps of each move.  It gets really hard to do the 10 reps of each.  If it's not hard then your weights aren't heavy enough.  There are two workouts on this DVD and they are each under 30 minutes.  I guarantee you will be sweating and having muscle fatigue by the end of the workout.  I haven't ever done both workouts in a row but I'm sure you could.  One focuses on upper body and the other one's focus is lower body.

If you would like to win a copy of this DVD enter the giveaway below.

I Lost 43 Pounds in 19 Weeks on Nutrisystem #NSNation

I am happy to report that in Week 19 I lost one more pound for a total of 43 pounds since I began using Nutrisystem for weight loss.  I have consistently lost between 1 and 3 pounds a week since I began.  Nutrisystem says that on their program people lose an average of 1-2 pounds a week.  I am so excited with my weight loss progress.  I have a before and after photo that shows you how much my body has changed over the past 19 weeks.

I wore the same dress in the pictures.  This dress was my goal dress to begin with but I know now that I will have to get a smaller goal dress because I'm just about halfway to goal now.  I have a lot more weight to lose but I know that I will be able to lose it all with Nutrisystem.  I am so happy that I started this weight loss journey and I am looking forward to completing it and then maintaining it for the rest of my life.

Nutrisystem is so easy to follow and I love the food.  This morning I had a vanilla protein shake with a double chocolate muffin.  I feel like I am cheating but I'm truly following the plan 100%.  I would love for you to sign up and experience the success that I am with Nutrisystem.  Send me an email and I'll show you how to save $30 on your first order.

Healthy Homemade Dog Food

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of homemadedogfood.com for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you ever made Homemade dog food?  I just dound this easy cooked dog food recipe that I can't wait to try.  I spend a lot of money each month on dog food and the food isn't that great for our dog.  But with this Easy cooked dog food recipe we can feed our baby healthy homemade dog food.  There have been a lot of recent dog food recalls and associated health scared for our beloved dogs.  I recommend that you check out this recipe and give it a try.  It's so easy to make healthy dog food in your very own kitchen.

When you make food at home for your dog, you are ensured that your dog is eating food that meets your standards, and is free of preservatives, fillers, and chemicals that are often found in commercial dog foods.

Homemade dog food will help maintain a healthy coat and skin, lean muscle, strong bones and teeth, hearty organs and immune systems, high energy, efficient digestion, and an increased life expectancy. In other words, all the things we want for our much loved dogs.

Are There Different Types of Homemade Dog Food?

Yes there are.  Much like human food, homemade dog food can be categorized in order to narrow the search for your best friend's most beneficial diet. But, lines can be blurred, and concepts can overlap. For instance, you may choose to feed a raw dog food diet while avoiding all of the foods that experts have deemed potentially harmful. Or you may want to employ holistic health concepts while using all organic ingredients. That's what homemade dog food is all about, after all - customizing your dog's diet in a way that fulfills both of you.

In the most sensible manner, we'll start where the meat does: Raw.

Refreshing Coffee Protein Shake Mix-7pk

Get a jolt of java with these 7 packets of our Refreshing Coffee Shake Mix! Its rich and creamy coffee taste will fill your need for something sweet and delicious, while its 15 grams of protein are sure to keep you feeling satisfied.

Blueberry Muffin

This classic, golden-topped muffin is wonderfully sweet and chock-full of the flavor of plump, wild blueberries. Perfect for breakfast on-the-run you can enjoy this right out of the package, or for a more leisurely meal, enjoy it with your favorite coffee or tea.

So you can see I am really enjoying my new lifestyle.  I love how I am consistently losing weight.  Every day is a new chance to get healthier and I am really enjoying each day.  Nutrisystem rocks.  I love that they have chosen me to be a blogger for them and that I am changing my life.  I feel so extremely happy.  This is the beginning of a wonderful new healthy lifestyle for me and I love it!
