So a little while back I had asked about some kind of diet supplement. I have found it!! I'm going to do the Advocare 24 day challenge and I want you to do it with me! (msg me for details) Here's how it works: Days 1-10 Cleanse Phase: Herbal Cleanse- This is gentile and not scary at all. Its not what you think it is, no time off work needed I promise! It's making sure that your body is functioning like it should be. Spark- This is a mental focus drink that will last for about 3-5 hours. There is no crash and burn with this! Omegaplex- This has the omega 3 fatty acids in it. These are great for your hair and nails but it will also cure your cravings for fats that are bad for you. Days 11-24 Max Phase: Spark - You will have more of the mental focus drinks. Shakes - These come in 3 flavors and are great for breakfast. They have 24 grams of protein to get your metabolism going for the day. MNS - This is your nutrition supplement  You will have a bette...

Dr. Oz has this summer slim down articl e which has several good tips in it. The tip that stood out to me was his "sip smart" drink. I've seen it a lot on Pinterest but I wanted to go directly to the source and see what Dr. Oz had to say. Here's the drink: 1 cup grapefruit juice 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar optional: honey Drink this before each meal (3x a day). Turns out that people who exercise and don't have the proper amount of Vitamin C in them actually burn 30% less fat. I chose  Florida's natural ruby red grapefruit . In just 1 cup of this you get 100% of your daily vitamin C! When you pick out an apple cider vinegar make sure that there are no calories. My bottle does not have a nutritional label because there is nothing in it. But I have found some that do have up to 50 calories per serving- don't get those! Dr. Oz says that "the acetic acid in the vinegar may switch on genes your body needs to pump out fat-burning proteins...

So here's my dilemma ... I really want to lose just a little bit more weight. Not a lot. I'm talking like less than 10 pounds. But I am having a terrible time doing it . I know the best answer is diet and exercise.  Definitely 100% agree !!! My problem is that when it comes to dieting I have plateaued. :( I lost a bunch of weight when I first changed my diet. I am now so much more knowledgeable about calories and fats and sweets. I have been really good at controlling what I put in my body. So now eating healthy is my new "norm" - yay! unfortunately that's not dropping the pounds any more. So what do I do? I already am only eating 1200 calories a day so I obviously don't want to go below that. Exercise is great. It really is . I love it! I just don't have time for it. I have tons of work-out plans, seriously I have a binder full of exercises  BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME . I have 3 kids to take care of ...

Let me just start by saying I apologize for everyone who was expecting a health and fitness post here. I watched the Superbowl last night (who didn't) and for me the most exciting part was the commercials. I loved the taco bell one and the Budweiser one, but there was one that really got to me. The Farmer Commercial by Dodge Ram . Being a country girl who was brought up a midst many farms and still has several farming friends this was powerful . Everyone in the room was quiet during this commercial and when it was over we were still speechless, all we could say was "wow that was good." So then today a friend of mine pointed out to me THIS .  Click here to read her whole story but I will share with you my favorite part. Made me feel proud of my " job " and my calling to be a mom . :) I had laid there and there was God looking down on the Farmer loving His land and God needed someone to love the least and the little , into real ...
