Eat, Sweat, Lose Challenge

Head on over to Eat, Sweat, Lose to enter the challenge and learn more (there are prizes).

Here is MOST of my workout equipment, I have lent out over a dozen of other home exercise videos.

1. The home gym (that has clothes hanging off of it), don't use it because I never workout downstairs.
2. My ChaLEAN Extreme videos (they are stacked on the home gym): These videos are my saving grace with these videos (and my Wii Fit) I have lost about 60 pounds since the beginning of August.
3. The Wii Remote: It represents my Wii Fit and my Wii board (since I didn't want to do another trip of hauling things up and down the stairs - maybe I should have taken a picture of the stairs too lol).
4. My black resistance band: Before I bought my 10lb weights this is what I used in the ChaLEAN Extreme videos.
5. My blue resistance band: I'm not that big of a fan of this thing, but I have used it in ChaLEAN as well.
6. My thigh toner: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this piece of tubing. I use it in ChaLEAN Extreme all the time and it really burns away the calories :)
7. My 10lb weights: I just bought these this weekend! I am so happy I have some heavier weights now, hoping to get to Red Deer in two weeks to purchase some 12s, 15s, and 20s.
8. My 5lb weights: Great for my weaker muscles and warming up.
9.  My 3lb weights: Just a warm up weight.
10. My Guidebook: This is my must have workout item! It has before/after information for every 30 days, it has my weight/rep information and food information. It has everything I need to stay on track for my weight loss goals.
    
    I forgot to put my food scale in this picture, and George Foreman :( I was unsure if I was able to take a picture of my fast kits as well (no food allowed). Now that I have done this, I wish I put all my housecleaning items (cleaning burns calories!) this way I could have more items and been a bit more creative. But then again, have 7-8 trips of lugging items up and down my horrible stairs does not seem appealing to me at all.

A Picture To Show Why You Should Always Measure Out Your Food!

Look what happens if you don't...

 

The whole right side was from the night before...not that it matters.

My First Homemade Card

I made this card on Christmas Day when I found out a family friend was pregnant. It's not the nicest one, but not bad for my first Cricut Create project (I got one for Christmas). The last couple of cards I have made are much better, I'm figuring it out! lol
Here is a picture that I wanted to share: 

 

Ugh, now that I look at it again, it's really not my best work. But through trial and error I have been figuring it out. 

Feature Friday: Guessing All The Way

This week's featured blogger is Laurie from Guessing All The Way. Be sure to check out her fantastic blog (it is a favorite of mine and I read it everyday)! If you are interested in being a featured blogger please contact me.  

 

 

Could you describe your blog for us?  

I have a blog that most would call a review/giveaway site.  I do personal posts as well, in the hopes to let you get to know me as a person.  I know that a lot of times sites like mine are looked down upon, but there are some awesome women that have review/giveaway sites as well.  I do try to make sure my reviews incorporate my personal life.   My site helps to connect great companies with great parents.  If you see a review posted on my site, it means I liked the product.   I send products back that I don't feel do what they say.  If you ever want to know something specific about a product I review, feel free to email me and ask. 

 

How long have you been blogging? 

I started blogging in May 2009 and LOVE it.

 

What made you want to start blogging?

  The first blog I ever read was "Catch the Drift" with Mama Snow.  I loved it and starting reading others.  It looked like so much fun and a great outlet to be able to be a "grown up".   That is when Guessing All the Way....Tales from a Clueless Mom was born.  I am so glad I started and have made some great friends along the way.

 

Where are you blogging from?  

I live in Colorado and have for about 11 years now.  I was originally from Texas.

 

What are some of your favorite blogs? 

  I don't have enough time to even begin to tell you that.  Yours of course:) lol  If you want to find some great blogs, just visit my blog and look under blogs I love.  They are ALL amazing and brighten my day in one way or another.

 

Do you have a secret talent?  

I was a dog groomer and owned my own shop in Texas.  I closed it down when I moved to Colorado.  I don't know if that is really a talent, but I was good at it:)

 

Do you have a twitter/facebook account? If so, what are they?  

Yes, I have both.  My twitter account is @clueless_mama and my facebook fan page is set up under Guessing All the Way.  I have found that facebook is the best way to chat with my readers.  Unfortunately, I don't have enough hours in the day to be as active as I would like in getting to know everybody.  I wish I did.

 

What is your goal that you hope to achieve by blogging?

  I don't really have a goal.  I am just enjoying what I do.    Of course, one day it would be nice to make the Frigidaire Team :-)

 

Anything you would like us to know?  

 I want anyone that visits my site to know how much I appreciate it.  I realize how many GREAT blogs are out there and so it is such a compliment when you take the time to say hi.  I would also love to get to know each of you, as I said before I just don't have enough hours in the day.  I blog in the evenings from around 11pm-3am and most of that is spent writing the next post for the day.  If you are looking to get to know me better, comment on my personal posts.  I always visit everyone that leaves a comment on those.  Nothing makes me happier than to see a new comment on a personal post.  I look forward to meeting some new people and continuing friendships with the great people I have already met!

Wedding Wednesday

This Wedding Wednesday is going to be short, and it's more of me asking for advice. I need SHOES! I don't care what color they are (either black or white preferred) since they are going to be hidden underneath my dress the whole time, but I need to find a good online shop that sells shoes with a great return policy (my feet are a bit hard to shop for).

So leave me a comment if you have any suggestions. I would love to hear them! Thank you.

Winner - Overnight Prints

And the winner is .....

Thanks!
