Wellness Wednesday: Snack Healthy with Skinny Pop Popcorn!

*I received free samples of this product to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own honest opinions.*

     One of the hard things about "dieting" is you tend to get hungry. Sometimes you're just craving something either sweet or salty. But you gotta be careful with your snacks because some of them can pack a lot of calories and leave you still hungry.

Wellness Wednesday: Bulu Weight Loss Box

     Well I recently took advantage of a sale on Bulu Box for half of a 3 month subscription. I wanted to try out their new "Weight Loss Bulu Box" to see if it was anymore relevant to my lifestyle than the regular Bulu Box.

Weight Loss Wednesday: Creative Biosceince Challenge (Part 4)

*I received a trial of this products in order to facilitate this review. Any opinions expressed are my own.*

     Ok, I've finally completed the second month of my 90 day Green Coffee Bean trial from Creative Bioscience. For those who don't know about this challenge, basically I get to try out this product and share the results with my readers.
     My second month got slightly better results than the first. My weight still fluctuated a lot over the last month. I don't think the 10-15 lb loss is going to happen for me during this trial. But at least I'm accomplishing something.

So, today my stats are:
weight - 172 (-3 lb from last month, -4 lb altogether) 
waist - 42" (-1 in. from last month, -3 altogether)
BMI - 28.6 (-.5 from last month, -.7 altogether)

     It is still difficult to remember to take the pills 30 minutes before meals. Right before would be much easier to handle. I have sometimes had to do that.
      By the way, the Life Fit Store has these products for sale for 12-60% off retail. Creative Bioscience has given me a code for an additional 15% off to share with readers. Life Fit store is currently offering free shipping as well. Just put in the code AOH to receive your extra 15% off!

Weight Loss wedneday: Bulu Box

*I received one or more of the products mentioned here for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.*

     I got a chance to try out the March Bulu Box, through Tomoson. What is a Bulu Box? It is a subscription box containing 4-5 health and fitness samples including vitamins, weight loss, sports nutrition, protein, diet, energy, detox, digestion, sexual health, herbs, natural remedies, endurance and more.You never know what your gonna get. 
     If you're a health and fitness enthusist and you are looking for the right supplement for your health regimen, Bulu Box may be the subscription for you. If you are interested solely in weight loss products, Bulu Box is now offering a Bulu Weight Loss Box, which I would also love to try. 
     But the regular box it what I got to try. I admit, I am primarily interested in weight-loss type products. But I know some of you may also be interested in these other products. So let's take a look at what was in the box. 
     Dream Water--This little concoction contains GABA, Melatonin and 5-HTP and is designed to help you sleep easily and improve sleep quality. If you have trouble getting to sleep at night, and aren't worried about having to get up in the middle of the night to soothe crying chiclren, by all means, give it a shot! 
     QSpeed CoQ10--This chewable orange flavored tablet formulated with CoQ10 provides heart health support, increases cellular energy and improves exercise performance. Energy? Let's just call that the "mommy pill." ;-)
     ProLab Quick Fire--A dose of this stuff will fuel the body with a surge of nitric-oxide-induced blood flow, helping you to amp up your workout. 
     Redd Remedies atEASE PM--This is another sleep aid made of natural ingredients that help you relax naturally and enjoy better sleep. Again, it depends on if you're in a position where you're able or need to take a sleep aid. 
     AeroShot Energy--Okay this was something I haven't seen before. This little gadget basically looks like a tube of lipstick. You pull on the lid (it doesn't come all the way off) and then inhale the contents (powder) through the opening that is now there. It is definitely a new sensation. I can't say I particularly like the taste, though it is kind of fruity. But I do feel it boosted my energy some. 
     $50 iTrain Gift Card--This was a bonus item in the box and probably my favorite thing in there. I had never heard of iTrain before getting this box, but it is a website where you can download workouts to your computer or mp3 player. Some of the workouts you can do without any special equipment, but they also have treadmill, elliptical and other routines. They even have workout sets, like 6 week weight loss makeover, postnatal and pre-wedding workouts that include a selected set of exercises that is cheaper per exercise than buying a la carte.
     If you are interested in trying out a Bulu Box yourself, you can check out their website. You can also find them on facebook, twitter, YouTube and Pinterest. And what's more, for new signups there is a special promotion going on. Normally a Bulu Box subscription is $10/month. Now, when you sign up for 3 months, you get the first month free (so $15 for 3 months) with the code JUMPONIT3. Or you can sign up for 6 months and get 3 months free ($30 for 6 months) with the code JUMPONIT6. Both of these deals equate to $5/month, but remember the price will kick back up to $10 when the promotion ends, so if you think this is something you'll like long-term, the 6 month option is the best value. But it's up to you. :-)

Weight Loss Wednesday: Creative Bioscience Challenge (part 2)

     As I mentioned last week, I am getting the opportunity to try out a 3 month's supply of Green Coffee Bean from Creative Bioscience and share the results with my readers.
     I am excited to see how these will help my weight loss. I've already lost a few pounds since the beginning of the year, so I'm hoping these metabolism supplements will help me lose even more.
     Starting today, I'll be taking 2 pills a day (30 minutes before 2 different meals, as directed) for the next 90 days. I'll be "checking in" every 4 weeks to let you know my progress.
     So, today my stats are:
     weight - 176
     waist - 43"
     BMI - 29.3

     Hopefully I'll have something better to report in 4 weeks!

     The Life Fit Store has these products for sale for 12-60%. Creative Bioscience has given me a code for and additional 15% off to share with readers. Life Fit store is currently offering free shipping as well. Just put in the code AOH to receive your extra 15% off!

Weight Loss Wednesday: Creative Bioscience Challenge (Part 1)

     I am really excited to announce that I was selected to be a part of the 90 day weight loss challenge by Creative Bioscience. The process is straight-forward. I was asked to select a product to try out for 90 days (3 months) and to post monthly updates on my progress. So, I sorta thought this would fit right in with my "Weight Loss Wednesday" posts, am I right?
     So which of their fabulous products did I select? Well, it was a tight race between the Rasberry Keytone 1234 and the Green Coffee Bean. I finally decided on the Green Coffee Bean. Why? Because it seems less restrictive concerning excercise and eating habits.
     Don't get me wrong. I am not planning to eat lots of junk and avoid excercise because I think this "magic pill" is a substitute for that. That's not really what it's designed to do. But I feel a little less pressure with the have to get this much excercise and can't eat that. It's not easy getting workouts in with young children around!
     So what does the Green Coffee Bean supplement do? Well, first of all, it slows the release of glucose into your body. Which lessens the sugar high that falls into a no-sugar slump. Which leaves you craving...more sugar. That sounds good, right?
     The second thing it does is increase your metabolism, causing your body to burn fat faster. Do I really need to explain this one? Didn't think so. How can you miss "burns fat=good thing"?
     So, did I mention I'm really looking forward to this? I know you can't tell. Ideally, I would like to lose 40-45 lbs long term. I know that is not going to happen in three months. I am hoping for maybe 15, though. 20 would be awesome!
     I've been trying to get more active, drink enough water and healthier foods, but I'm really hoping this will give me the extra boost I need. Plus, the prospect of humilition if I fail should help keep me motivated.
     So check back soon and I'll let you know my thoughts!

Weight Loss Wednesday: The Importance of Water

Weight Loss Wednesday: Fiber One 90 Calorie Brownies

     So, today I'm going to tell you about a high fiber, pretty low calorie snack. You've probably heard about these before, but if you haven't, they are decent.
     I'm not gonna lie and tell you these taste as good as the real thing. But when you want another option when the "real thing" isn't one, you might wanna give it a shot.
     They are only 90 calories and have 5 grams of fiber. Now, you know I'm all about the fiber, right? Getting enough fiber and drinking enough water can be a great boost to your weight loss, even without a lot of other alterations to your lifestyle.
     The 90 Calorie Fiber One brownie now comes in chocolate chip flavor. I think I almost like it better than the regular kind. Although that one is decent too.
     Most people don't get enough fiber. Women should aim for about 25 grams a day, men 30-35. While most of your fiber should come from whole foods, I can't hurt to have a little help. And it might as well taste good, right?
