My goal is to lose 50lbs by the end of June, I plan to do 30minutes of cardio, and 30 minutes of weight training atleast 3 times week hopefully more. I will help myself acheive my goal by going through my cabinets and getting rid of the junk, and I will stop drinking soda.


As of now I have been eating Mint chocolate m&m's to bad my husband didn't take them with him to work it's his pack, woops.
 
Wow Tonia, you have laid out some very specific steps to reach your goals here. I'm proud of you! Awsome!

Thanks! My work out buddy went back home so I am going to have to start going to workout by myself, which I don't like to do but I will have to get over it.
 
How are things going Tonia? I don't drink soda myself (i find the bubbles taste bitter) but my dh is really addicted, so I wonder how your quitting of THAT is going?
 
Good for you Tonia!

It's not going well, but my husband just went to the store instead of getting me a coke he got me a tropicana fruit squeeze drink.

So far today I've been good about what I eat and drink, but I have only been awake for an hour. Now I have to get the motivation to go work out.


Thanks for the encouragement.
 
Just wanted to check and see how it's going?

Thanks, Well I have stopped drinking alot of soda I had 1 cup since i did my last post to my journal. I've been drinking more water, I have only exsersized once in the past week. But I have stopped eating chocolate too. So far I feel like I am doing good except about the excersizing which i think will get better.

ok, so eating better is going good, I haven't weighed myself recently I just got my ingrown toenail removed so i haven't been exersizing. I need to get motivated or I am never going to lose weight and be healthier. I get to go back home in a few weeks, I will try and say no to eating out!
 
Most exciting new spring product?Which new product are you most excited about now and why?
 
I love the Collapsable Bowl because it is innovative, fun, surprising and very useful!
 
Collapsible Bowl and BBQ grill basket!
 
pinch bowls and dots set
 
I am really excited about those darn cookware protectors. I think they are so cool! I'm a little bummed that the collapsible bowl is the item that we didn't get in our directors packages

DITTO on all counts!
 
I love out the outdoor-sy stuff! What a fun way to kick off the warmer weather. I'm also SO excited about the Dots salad plates. I use the stuff for my regular everyday dishes and I really need salad plates for those! I think that 16 piece dinnerware set will be a great booking tool.:)

Ditto and the pinch bowls!
 
I love the pinch bowls and salad plates!! I didn't like the collapsible bowl at first but the more I look at it the more I think I will love it. I am also anxious to see the plate caddy - I was excited about it until I saw a picture so I am hoping the real thing is nicer than it seems.

...oh and I'm thrilled the avocado peeler is back!
 
my favorite spring productsI love the Outdoor Party Sticks! The caddy and collapsible bowl are definately better in person than in the pictures

The outdoor party sticks! I live in California and I have SOOOOO many cute ideas for them!

Just from looking at thme I am most thrilled about the Grill Basket, but I'm most intrigued with the outdoor party sticks as i've never seen anything like these before. i'm looking forward to lots of great ideas on those.
 
I'm loving the outdoor party sticks, cookware protectors & of course the collapsable bowl!

Hmm I ate cakes all day long today :-(
 
If there's anyone who lives somewhere where it isn't 0 degrees or snowing and you try the grill basket- I would love a review.
 
Thanks Deb, you just gave me an excuse to ask our "grill-meister" neighbor to whip up some shrimp! Will let you know the results. :)
 
I received my director kit yesterday and I have to say that I'm surprised that I like the party sticks...really thought I'd think they were stupid.

Also, tried out the wine bottle opener...it will likely be something we will have to explain how to use to people but it is a VERY GOOD OPENER! My hubby already loves it!

I also like the outdoor serving serving set, pinch bowl set, and the sheet pans...I think those will sell very well!

That's funny....the wine bottle opener is the first thing I tried! Hmmmm, what does that say about me?:bugeye: I do love it though. Although the foil cutter didn't seem to work as well as the "old" one. Maybe I just have to get used to it.

We had a little trouble with the cutter too until we figured out you have to hold it up higher - we kept wanting to let it rest on the cork. Love it!:love0010: (First thing we USED too.)
