Week 6, Day 42 - Jillian Michaels Body Revolution

Well planned advertising at its best! I heard through the grapevine {or at least that is what I am telling myself} that Jillian Michaels was going to come out with an exercise system designed to help you lose weight and tone up. Ooh! News Flash! That's NEVER been done before!! {Yeah, I know, I'm a bit heavy on the sarcasm here...sorry...kind of.} Anyway, I was perusing a bunch of blogs last weekend when I stumbled across a {well planned} advertisement for her NEW program. I followed the link ~ hopefully some poor blogger made a couple bucks off my click! ~ watched the video, did a search for her workout, found some blogs from her success stories, and proceeded to drop some cash on purchasing it. Fast forward to today and it came in the mail! Woo hoo! I'm really looking forward to trying it out.

There are 15 videos divided into 3 phases. Each phase is 4 weeks long for a total of 12 weeks. The thing that really got me? Each video is only about 30 minutes long. Honestly? That is about all I could stand from a workout video. If these were 45 or 60 minutes, I never would have purchased them. Can't wait to start!!

Dusting this thing off and trying again!

I’m honestly not sure what the draw is to blogging for me. It definitely isn’t the “money” as I pretty much don’t have any followers (and if I do, I thank you!) and literally have ZERO sponsors but I think for me it is a form of journaling and that may be the draw. Last night as I was winding down from the day, I decided to give WW another try. I’d been paying for their services for awhile and when I “work the program” I have a lot of success. However, I’ve been avoiding the program for about an month and have had no success...go figure. My goal is to give WW one more month, follow it as best as I can, and reevaluate my situation then. I’m choosing to do the Purple Plan because I feel like that is the best one for me, at the moment. Right now I need more zero point options and this plan has the most. I preplanned breakfast and lunch, both zero points, which leaves me with 16 points for dinner. My goal is to only use 12 so that 4 will carry over giving me a little bumper for my upcoming...

WW...still and again!

Here we go...again. I've tried WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers) over and over and over again. July 28, 2018 I committed to starting again and taking it seriously. By January 1, 2019, I was down 15 lbs. from July and 20 lbs. over all. I made it through the holidays but unfortunately, I didn't make it through the new year. My will came crashing down and the weight is slowly going back on. Well, I've decided to take to blogging again hoping to find my will and motivation and get back up again. Here I go!!!

Shopping, Cooking, and Facebook...Oh My!!

Woohoo! Today I hit the grocery store and stocked up on some WW Power Foods! I am set for breakfasts, lunches and snacks!! Dinners may be a little tougher but I think I'll be fine. :) For lunch this week, I made a delicious Taco Soup that I found on Brooke: Not On A Diet . She had FABULOUS success on Weight Watchers and I now consider her one of my heroes!! My only change to the soup was that I added a pound of ground turkey so it looks more like a chili than a soup. Nonetheless it is soup-er yummy and I highly recommend that you scoot over to Brooke's site and try it out!! For the rest of my meals and snacks, I purchased some lite breads, 94% fat free popcorn, frozen fruits, yogurt, etc. So excited to be able to eat without counting points!! I think I actually ate less the last two days than I normally would! Woot! Woot! So...Facebook. I have a private, personal account that I use to keep up with old and new friends. I love to follow other bloggers and finally decided ...
