Total Fitnesss DVDs sent me Jillian Michaels Killer Buns and Thighs DVD to review.  I have done all three levels one time so I have an idea of what the workouts are.  I really enjoyed these workouts.  They are a challenge for me.  I know that doing this workout consistently will give me killer buns and thighs.  It's not in my rotation of workout DVDs.  I love Jillian and her words of encouragement throughout the workout.  I like watching the advanced version as well as the modifications.  Typically I do the modified version of the moves unless it's something I am able to do without any modifications.

I Lost 70 Pounds In 31 Weeks On Nutrisystem #NSNation

Week 31 done and another 2 pounds gone.  I can't believe it.  If you told me when I started that I could come this far in such a short period of time, I wouldn't have believed it.  I have done this and I am so proud of myself.  I am not finished yet.  I have 30 more pounds to lose before I get to my goal.  When I started out I set a goal of 80 pounds total but now that I am this far in I have decided to go for the 100 pounds!  I will be within the normal weight range with 10 more pounds lost but I want to get even lower than that to the lower end of the normal weight range!  I want to be thin and stay thin for the rest of my life!


Nutrisystem is awesome!  I really thought it was going to be harder than this.  I do not have a hard time saying no to tempting foods.  I get my daily dessert to look forward to and with things like ice cream sandwiches, red velvet whoopie pies, chocolate cheesecake, who can complain?  I save my dessert until right before bed and enjoy each and every bite of it.  It's one last indulgence for the day before I hit the sack.




I told you earlier that my sister started Nutrisystem some months back and she is still steadily losing as well.  It really does work.  The sooner you start the sooner you can be at your goal and start living life in maintenance.  This morning as I packed my breakfast and lunch for the day I took a moment to reflect and pat myself on the back for doing an amazing job.  I follow the plan and the plan works giving me the wonderful results that I want!

Bob Harper's Kettlebell Cardio Shred Review & Giveaway Ends 8/14/12 at 7 PM EST

I love Bob Harper from The Biggest Loser and I recently got some kettlebells.  I was so excited when Collage Video offered Bob Harper's Kettlebell Cardio Shred DVD for me to review.  This is a 53 minute workout.  It's very difficult for me to complete the entire workout but I am able to do it and I love it.  What a great workout!  I am getting so strong and fit.  Working out is so wonderful and I love to try new things.

Bob goes from Kettlebell moves to other moves throughout the whole workout.  I really enjoy the pace of the video as well as the variety of moves.  Bob always keeps me motivated and wanting to do more and more each day that I workout with him.

Certified instructor description: A fat-burning-focused aero/tone interval program led by a “passionate and friendly” trainer. The kettlebell makes the aerobics more intense and the toning more effective (because you have to control the bell’s momentum). Like the ideal personal trainer, Bob emphasizes safety and effectiveness. He begins by explaining the move and demonstrating the correct form. Then, he puts down the kettlebell and focuses on the exerciser (combining friendly motivation with helpful tips on technique). Features a wide range of kettlebell classics — from “halos” and “weaves” to “suitcase swings” and “windmills” (plus some non-kettlebell exercises).

I Lost 68 Pounds in 30 Weeks on Nutrisystem #NSNation

Week 30 is complete and I lost another 2 pounds for a total of 68 pounds!  I am doing the happy dance.  I am a new woman.  I still have quite a bit to go, but I am going to make it to goal and keep this weight off forever.  I have a few new foods that I tried this past week that I absolutely love!  My favorite dessert is the Red Velvet Whoopie Pie.  It is so sweet and does not taste like it's diet food at all.

 

Red Velvet Whoopie Pie

Get ready to whoop it up as we roll out the red carpet for our Red Velvet Whoopie Pie! It tastes just as sinful as it sounds with its sweet, cream cheese-filled center bursting from between two magnificently moist layers of red velvet cake. Now, you can enjoy the taste of this classic dessert without feeling like you've deserted your weight loss program, too.

Nutrisystem works and it's a plan that will take you into maintenance. 


I can send you $30 buddy bucks too so you can save on your first Nutrisystem order.  Just send me an email at susansmoaks@gmail.com and I will send them right away so you can get started soon!

Jillian Michaels Extreme Shed & Shred DVD Review & Giveaway Ends 8/5/12 at 7 PM EST

Collage Video sent me Jillian Michaels Extreme Shed & Shred DVD to review and they have also offered to mail one to a lucky winner from my blog.  I received the DVD in the mail last week and immediately put it in the DVD player for use the next morning.  I do my workouts in the AM before I shower and go to work.  I knew this one was going to take a lot of energy so I got myself ready for it mentally.

The first day I did the Level 1 workout with the cool down.  Then the following day I did the Level 2 workout with the cool down.  I enjoyed both levels equally.  They are both fun to do with Jillian leading.  They offer some modifications for those of us who aren't in the best shape.  I followed the lady doing the modifications.  I was so excited and proud that I could keep up with all the jumping jacks and other cardio intervals.

After doing this DVD I feel that I have really progressed in my fitness level and I am so proud to be stronger from these past months of working out daily.  I really recommend this DVD to anyone working on getting fit who likes to change it up and get a great workout in a short amount of time.

Here's the description from the Collage Video website:

Certified instructor description: Two aero/tone interval workouts that combine weight-training with high-intensity cardio ... plus some martial arts and yoga. It's a smooth-flowing fusion that increases motivation while challenging your body in diverse ways. The first workout emphasizes fat-burning cardio; it features traditional body-sculpting routines. The second program is more toning-focused; it includes lots of multi-muscle and yoga-based exercises (e.g. a dumbbell-intensified triangle pose). Both workouts are tough — fast-paced, non-stop circuits that never slow down (however they do show some easier modifications). Jillian's cuing is "bad ass" and aggressive, but always supportive (e.g. "you can do this; just dig deep and work it!"). Requires 3 to 10 dumbbells. ©2011. DVD has: Spanish option, Wide screen, Close captions, Region 1.

Ozeri Pro II Digital Kitchen Scale Review

I received this Ozeri Pro II Digital Kitchen Scale to review a while back.  I have been using it for quite some time now and I truly love it.  As you know, I am working on losing weight.  I have been careful to check portion sizes and without a kitchen scale it's nearly impossible to know how many calories you are consuming.  Fruit is one thing that confuses me without the scale.  What is a small banana?  Having this scale has helped me know exactly how many calories are in my banana or whatever it is that I am weighing.

This kitchen scale is easy to use and it also has a timer on it that has become my go-to kitchen timer.  I love to keep track of cooking times and other things with this timer.  It's so convenient.  Here are the product features of the Ozeri Pro II Digital Kitchen Scale.  It has a newly design with a capacity range from 0.05 oz to 12 lbs (1 gram to 5.4 kg), the Pro II features a built-in countdown kitchen timer with 3 alarm modes (audible beep, blinking LED, or combined).  The precision tare feature subtracts the weight of the container for the net weight of the ingredients; easy unit button instantly converts between oz, g, lbs, and kg.  It also has a large screen that features a bright LCD with an improved viewing angle for the on-the-go cook.  I love the oversized buttons that generate audible click confirmation; and the 3-minute automatic turn-off preserves battery life.  It's finished in elegant chrome and sized for easy storage and portability; and it ships with 2 AAA batteries included.

You will find this kitchen scale is helpful, easy to use and works for whatever your needs are.
