My Weight Loss Journey with Nutrisystem: Week 5 Results! #NSNation

**This is a sponsored post.  I will be following the Nutrisystem weight loss program free of charge.  All opinions are 100% my own!

Well I'm a little late posting this.  For some reason I forgot to do my Nutrisystem post last week.  Last week was a great week and I lost 2 more pounds!  That brings my total weight loss to 10 pounds!  I am so proud of my hard work and results!  10 pounds in only 5 weeks is great for me!  I have learned that slow and steady wins the race.  I can't expect for this weight to fall off overnight because I didn't put it on overnight.  I want to lose weight the healthy way and I want to enjoy my life in the process.

What I mean by enjoying my life is that I still allow myself indulgences.  For instance tomorrow my sister is adopting her 3 foster children!  This has been a long road and we are all so excited to call them ours in the official sense.  To celebrate we are all going to our favorite restaurant after the court proceedings.  Well I can't exactly take a Nutrisystem meal to warm up at the restaurant, so I am going to try to make a healthy decision on lunch so that I don't undo my hard work.  Nutrisystem recognizes that we all have a life and can't ALWAYS eat perfectly on our meal plan.  When I received my first shipment of Nutrisystem foods, I was given an "Eating Out Guide" and it has really helped me to make better choices when dining out.  These are tips that will stick with me throughout my life and especially down the road when I transition from Nutrisystem.

I want to share some of these awesome tips with my readers.  Along with this pocket "Eating Out Guide" the Nutrisystem website also has great resources for eating out and making the best choices.

• Ask for sauces and dressings on the side.  (I always ask for a light or fat-free version as well)
• Don't eat that huge portion!  Split it with your dining partner or ask for a to-go box and put half of your meal into it before you start eating.
• Ask your server NOT to bring the bread or chip basket.  Those calories really add up!
• Plan what you will order ahead of time.  I always like to check out the restaurant's menu online so that I have an idea of what the healthiest option is for me.
• Eat slowly and take sips of water in between bites.  It takes your body about 20 minutes to feel full, so slow down and really enjoy your food.

The pocket "Eating Out Guide" also has many "Eat This Instead of That" scenarios that I love.  For instance, get pico de gallo instead of queso.  I've been learning to love new foods and when I eat out I love to try something new.  This guide has helped me to try different and healthier options that I have tried to duplicate at home.  My family is also eating better because of it!

Nutrisystem is not just about eating prepackaged foods.  I have really been impressed by the flavors and variety of the foods that I am eating, but I am also learning more about healthier options with their awesome online resources to make that transition to cooking entirely on my own, an easy one!

Week 5 Nutrisystem Results:

Starting Weight: 186

Current Weight: 176

Weight Loss to Date: 10 pounds

Dial® Vitamin Boost Body Wash Review & Giveaway (2 Winners!) - CLOSED!

  **This is a sponsored post.  I received the product(s) mentioned in exchange for this review.  All opinions are 100% my own!  

I just love getting to try out new soaps and body washes!  I especially like to try new scents.  After a while of smelling the same old scent, I get a little bored and like to change it up!  Well recently I was given a bottle of Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash to try and I'm loving how it smells and feels on my skin!  I've always been a fan of Dial hand soaps.  It's a brand that I trust and I always know that my family is getting their hands clean!  I love the fact that Dial has branched out into body washes and have tried other varieties in the past.  The new Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash is amazing!  My skin has been so dry throughout the winter months and when I started using the Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash, that is infused with lotion, I have really seen a difference in the way my skin looks and feels!  It's not nearly as dry as it has been.  Before I would notice that my skin on my legs would look chalky or flaky and now they are looking so much better and less dry!  I've noticed that my skin is smoother too!

I was sent the "Amazing B" Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash to try and I was thrilled to learn all about it!  This lotion infused body wash actually gives your skin a daily boost of vitamins!  Vitamin B is a natural humectant that helps draw in moisture and keeps your skin hydrated.  This advanced formula, with a moisturizing Vitamin Complex, helps draw vitamins and moisture directly to your skin.  As a result you will notice healthy soft skin!

I really love the yummy invigorating scent!  It really helps to wake me up in the mornings!  Would you like to try the new Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash too?  I have two coupons for a FREE bottle of Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash to give to two lucky readers!

Our Free Birds Pizza Party!! #FreeBirdsDVD #FreeBirdsPizzaParty

**This is a sponsored post.  I received the product(s) mentioned in exchange for this review.  All opinions are 100% my own!  

Last Saturday we had a really fun night!  The Fox Home Entertainment Insiders gave my family the opportunity to have a Free Birds Pizza Party and my kids sure loved it!  Free Birds is a super cute new movie that was released to DVD and Blu-ray on February 4th.  We were given the Blu-ray and some fun activities for the kids to do along with a Pizza Hut gift card!  We all love Pizza Hut so we were thrilled to indulge in dinner and a movie!  The kids were given matching t-shirts and although it's hard to get a picture of all three of them looking at the camera without making a silly face, I was able to snap a few of them being cute and matching!

They were really excited to watch this movie for our weekly family movie night!  We try to take turns picking each week but this week was my pick and I knew the kids were going to love the activities, food and movie that I had planned for them!  Before we started the movie, they had fun with the activities that were included in their pizza party kits.  There were coloring pages, stickers, a word search and a maze!  Bella especially had a good time coloring!  Ava is too young for this and just tries to eat the crayons when I let her have a chance at coloring....

You and your family can print these fun activities too!  Just click on the images below to print!

After their activities, my family and I had worked up an appetite!  I ordered some Pizza Hut pizza online.  The kids always like plain cheese and my husband and I like pepperoni and bacon on ours!  It's always a fun treat to order pizza!  It's delicious and I LOVE not having to cook!  The kids were given Free Birds plates and cups to add to the fun!  They were really anticipating watching this movie!

When we finally got to put in the movie, the kids were all cozy with their sleeping bags and pillows on the floor.  They chose some popcorn as their special movie night snack and I turned on the show!  Free Birds had us all cracking up from the beginning!  Reggie, voiced by Owen Wilson, is a rather smart turkey and knows that he and his turkey friends are being fattened up to be eaten on Thanksgiving.  None of the other turkeys believe him until one day when they wise up and throw Reggie to be the turkey eaten on Thanksgiving, or so they think...  Reggie is then pardoned by the President of the United States and goes to live in the White House.  He totally had the kids cracking up when he cut off a robe to fit him and wore some little pink slippers.  He really liked his cushy live of being the pardoned turkey until he meets Jake, a turkey who wants to travel back in time to save all turkeys by taking turkey off of the Thanksgiving menu by going back to the very first Thanksgiving.

This movie is so cute and funny!  I think my husband and I enjoyed it just as much as the kids!  We plan on making this movie a Thanksgiving tradition for years to come!  The kids have all watched it a couple more times this week.  Reggie always makes us laugh!  Pick up your copy of Free Birds today and have a fun Free Birds Pizza Party with your family too!  #FreeBirdsPizzaParty

My Weight Loss Journey with Nutrisystem: Week 4 Results! #NSNation

**This is a sponsored post.  I will be following the Nutrisystem weight loss program free of charge.  All opinions are 100% my own!

Last week was my fourth week following the Nutrisystem program.  I lost another pound!  That brings me to a total of 8 pounds!  I just love the way I feel and love that I am not hungry!  I've gone on diets before and just felt like I was starving the entire time.  Sure I lost weight but it didn't continue because I eventually gave up and went back to my old ways because I was hungry!  Nutrisystem foods are made with "good carbs" that digest slowly to help keep your blood sugar stable and your cravings at bay.  What's more is that they send you a meal plan that matches your metabolism which allows you to skip out on that usual dieter's hunger and cravings.  This in turns helps you to shed those unwanted pounds!  This has honestly been the easiest way I have ever lost weight!

This week I want to brag about myself!  As I mentioned in previous posts I lost weight prior to starting Nutrisystem and it has been a LONG time since I have gone shopping for clothing.  Well this weekend I knew I had to go buy something new.  Unfortunately a family member passed away and well, I just had NOTHING to wear to the funeral.  All of my clothes were too big and I just looked ridiculous with them falling off of me.  So I headed off to a local clothing store and started picking items off the rack.  The jeans that I was currently wearing were a size 16.  So I picked up a few pants that were a size 14 and went into the dressing room.  When I first looked at the jeans I was wearing in the dressing room mirror, I knew right then that they needed to hit the trash can as soon as I made it home!  I knew they were loose, but there's something about that dressing room mirror that always shows me my true appearance, whether I like it or not!  My pants were so baggy and just looked awful on me!  I had been waiting to buy new clothes until I hast lost more weight.... clearly this weekend was that moment!

As I tried on the size 14 pants I noticed that they looked much better but I still had some room!  I thought I'd try on a size 12 just for fun to strive toward after I have lost more weight.  So I picked out the same pants in a smaller size and reentered the dressing room.  I was SHOCKED!  The size 12 pants fit me great!  I hardly recognized myself in that mirror!  I looked so much better and the pants hugged my butt so well!  I just wanted to scream I was so excited!  I of course bought the pants and a cute top and couldn't wait to get home and share the news with my husband!

I am so proud of my accomplishment and can't wait to get the rest of this weight off.  I think of how far I've come and love all of the compliments I have been getting!  I will never go back to that chubby, frumpy looking mommy.  I want so much more out of my life and have been so much happier with myself since I started this journey to a healthier person!  

 

Nutrisystem was just the push I needed to help myself out of the rut I was in.  I just received another shipment of foods today and I was so excited to put them all away and  restock my shelves with this delicious and nutritious food!  With over 150 different foods, I never get bored with what I am eating!  Sometimes I wish I had more of a particular item, but with all of the different foods I am sent, I don't have to repeat foods.  If I'm in the mood for Italian or Mexican, there is going to be something from Nutrisystem to curb my craving!

Getting started with Nutrisystem is easy!  You just need to answer a few questions and Nutrisystem selects a meal plan to match your metabolism.  The also offer support on their website.  My favorite is reading the success stories!  Reading them gives me motivation when I'm needing it!

Week 4 Nutrisystem Results:

Starting Weight: 186

Current Weight: 178

Weight Loss to Date: 8 pounds

Purex Crystals: New Fresh Mountain Breeze Scent Review and Giveaway! (2 Winners!) - CLOSED!

  **This is a sponsored post.  I received the product(s) mentioned in exchange for this review.  All opinions are 100% my own!  

With 3 kids, my husband and a daycare, I have to do A LOT of laundry!  It is a very big job in this house and I like for my family's clothing to look and smell great!  I rely on some help from Purex to accomplish this important task.  I love being a Purex Insider.  I get to try out all of their new products and share my thoughts with all of my awesome readers!  This time I was given their brand new scent of Purex Crystals - Fresh Mountain Breeze!  

Now I have always LOVED Purex Crystals!  They leave my laundry smelling SOOO good!  I have tried all of the scents... even the baby fresh scent when Ava was littler.  Saying this I believe I have a good nose for Purex Crystals.  Before trying the Fresh Mountain Breeze Scent, my favorite was the Lavender Blossom scent.  I used that scent with every load and always loved how fresh my laundry smelled!  Well after trying the Fresh Mountain Breeze scent, I have a new favorite!

I just love the amazingly fresh scent of these Purex Crystals!  If you've never tried Purex Crystals before you will be amazed by how wonderful your clothing smells fresh out of the dryer!  You simply pour a capful of the Purex Crystals Fresh Mountain Breeze with the start of your washing cycle along with your laundry detergent.  You can add a little or a lot depending on your preference.  The Purex Crystals dissolve while your clothing is being washed and then you just transfer your laundry to the dryer like normal.  Other products are on the store shelves like Purex Crystals.  I won't name any names, but their prices are MUCH higher than that of my great smelling Purex Crystals!  That's what I love about Purex!  You get a quality product for much less than some of those other name brands!  I save so much money by using Purex laundry products each and every year!
