Fitness Friday-bodykey by Nutrilite

Thank you to Nutrilite for sending me a bodykey 30 day Jumpstart kit to review.  I was not asked to post about this product nor did I receive any monetary compensation.  All opinions stated below are my own based on my personal experience with product.

Now that we have gotten that out of the way, let me tell you what has been going on with my fitness this month.  I am on a mission to get healthy this year not only for myself but for my family.  I want to be a healthy mommy and wife.  A mother instilling lifelong fitness in my children's life!

(I found this picture on pinterest and I love the story it tells.  http://pinterest.com/pin/192740059025021301/) 

So not only have I been working extra hard at this but I have been kicking butt too.  But how do you kick butt?  You need energy for that?  And I have been out of energy since I had my baby?  Well not only have I been eating right, getting extra sleep, and trying to have some me time but I started the bodykey 30 day Jumpstart kit. 

So Day 1 and Day 2 you take the Super Green Aloe shots.  Throughout the day for the next 30 days, you replace 1 meal a day with the meal replacement shake, it comes with raspberry hunger chews to help you control your overindulging in between meals, and diet supplement tables to enhance weight loss.

So I must admit, trying to be healthy can and will be hard but you have to be committed.  It starts with you.  So everyday I have to remind myself to take my pills 30 minutes before I eat.  One change I have noticed is I think my stomach is shrinking or my appetite is disappearing.  I do have to take the hunger chews because I have very long days.  Long days use to mean drive thru and get an unhealthy meal.  Now a days with the hunger chews, I feel so full I do not have a need to think about food.  And even if I try to eat, I feel so full I do not want to take another bite after the first.  (By the way the hunger chews taste like candy.)  I do replace 1 meal a day with a shake which is great for my on the go life.  I prepare it in my shaker bottle and just grab and go about my day.  This is my very first meal of the day since I never have time for breakfast.  (I use to skip breakfast because I would run out of the house trying to hurry and take the kids to daycare/school and me get to work on time.) 

The kit also included a genetic test which was really easy to use.  I swabbed and sent it in and have been waiting for my results.  The genetic test is suppose to tell you a recommendation based on your genes, your genetic makeup.  I was kinda scared to find out what the results would be.

These are my results.  But now what does that mean?  Where do I go from here?  Well I called their hot line and was able to get a phone consultation with a board certified genetic conselor to explain everything in detail to me.

Based on my results, I have been doing it all wrong.  I have been extremed dieting myself and getting no results.  I have been killing myself taking Zumba, Yoga, Cycling, Crossfit, Bootcamp, and etc... and have not lost any weight.  Something had to give.  No wonder every time I started diets, I would quit and give up.  It seemed like nothing worked.  Or it only worked for awhile and then it stopped working.

Each person is different and what works for me, may not work for you. 

Stay tuned next month for final results....

Rebody SafSlim The Original Belly Fat Supplement Review

I want to tell you about a product I am currently testing.

SafSlim®, Re•body’s naturally derived belly fat supplement -- contains a clinically tested ingredient that has been shown to specifically reduce belly fat. This supplement, which has been taking the weight management industry by storm since appearing on the market, is based on the power of high-linoleic safflower oil.*†

Key Benefits:

• Clinically studied ingredient designed specifically to reduce belly fat*†
• Powered by patent-pending SAFActive78 ™ emulsification technology
• Delicious creamy smoothie-like taste and texture, emulsified for easier digestion*
• Expeller-pressed, double-bonded high linoleic (78%) emulsified safflower oil*
• Easy to take non-stimulant, naturally derived ingredients*

My thoughts-So I am not allergic to it which is a big plus.  It does not contain gluten, dairy, wheat, soy, yeast, lactose or milk.  It actually taste really good, like a grape now and later.  The directions say to take before eating, twice a day.  I take it in the morning when I wake up before I walk out the door (when I remember).  I have been eating my daily 6 small meals which include my snacks for awhile now but since I started drinking this, I am not hungry like I use to be.  I feel full which is great because I cannot seem to communicate mind to stomach when I am full and done.  This way I can be done without over eating and doing damage.  It does not make me jittery.  It does not give me head aches.  It only makes me feel full.  1 spoonful makes me feel full...what more can I say.  I have yet to lose weight but it is a start.

Voots Review

Do you worry about your kids diet?  Do you wonder if they are getting enough veggies or veggie nutrient?  Do you supplement?

When I was 4 years old, my mom was so worried about my weight.  My little brother and I weighed the same and we are about 4 years apart.  She tried looking for supplements that I could take but I did not like any of them.

Now, years later, it is my turn to worry about my kids and their veggie intake.

 Voots Veggie-Fruit Tarts – a supplement for kids ages 4+ that provides the Vitamin C antioxidant power of three servings of fruits and vegetables in two delicious chewable berry-flavored tarts. Made without artificial flavors, colors or preservatives, Voots supplements are a new way to boost your kid’s diet this holiday season!

 

Created by a dad who believed in simple solutions that help parents support healthy family lifestyles, Voots supplements are made of 11 real fruits and vegetables like blueberries, apples, carrots, and zucchinis, which have been dried, crushed, dehydrated and blended with Vitamin C and other ingredients to deliver an antioxidant boost to kids.

 

Available in convenient, single-serve packets, Voots Veggie-Fruit Tarts are easy to hand out to kids any time during the holidays, especially if your readers are traveling and on-the-go.

My thoughts-The veggie tarts are like candy.  I did not tell them I was giving them something good for them.  They ended up liking the tarts.  The little one even asked for another.  The kids easily thought they were eating candy.  Win, win for mom!
