Getting Back On Track

I had been doing really great with my weight loss.  I lost about 60 pounds but then stalled.  So I joined Weight Watchers.  I was doing pretty good on Smart Points plan.  However, with the new switch to Freestyle, I am really struggling.  Don’t get me wrong, Freestyle is a good plan for many people who have willpower and control over their eating.  For me, it just isn’t working.  With Freestyle, they have increased the number of foods that are free.  My big issue is that I didn’t overeat sweets & stuff like that.  I overate most of the foods that they have put to free.  It is easy for me to go back for 2nds or 3rds on chicken, fish, etc.  I prefer the savory foods.  I know that the leaders keep saying to think of it as zero points instead of free.  But I have a more logically inclined mindset.  Let me explain my way of thinking.  Imagine walking into a store with $23 in your pocket and being told that all the pants are free and you can take as many as you want.  You are going to gr

    The first thing I noticed when I opened the bottle was the wonderful scent.  I have been working with essential oils for quite a while now.  Some blends are overpowering and do not have a pleasant smell.  This has a great aroma and is not too strong.  Plus the blend of carrier oils didn't leave me feeling greasy like some of them do.  This one absorbed into my skin and left it feeling soft afterwards. I did notice a huge drop in my appetite after I started using it.  And as an added bonus, grapefruit essential oil also helps with mental clarity and overall energy.  So I felt that it helped me in things other than just curbing my hunger. You can order a bottle from Amazon at:  http://www.amztk.com/weight-loss-essential-oil Disclaimer:  I received this product free in exchange for an honest  and unbiased review.  I did not receive any form of compensation.

The 17 Day Diet Cookbook

Book Description   As a family practice physician and an advocate of preventive health, I believe healthy food can still be wonderful. I refuse to accept that a diet has to involve going to extremes or that diet food has to taste like cardboard. It doesn’t! It just has to be thoughtfully prepared, in a reasonable amount of time, and taste incredibly good. That’s the kind of food you’ll find in this book. I know you want meals that are quick and healthy. You want them to taste wonderful, you want them to help you lose weight, and you want them now! Seems like a tall order, but that’s what these recipes deliver. I encourage you to try several of these recipes each week to reap the benefits. Maybe the Tuscan Pork Tenderloin will become a new favorite, or the Mexican Chocolate Pudding can take over as your go-to dessert. Maybe you’ll love the Curried Poached Halibut or start making Oven-Barbecued Chicken all year round. Just start with a cycle’s worth of meals, and do it. Having th

Product Review   First off, I apologize for not having a picture.  I didn’t think to take a picture of either the packet or the cup of tea before I drank it.  Now, I would like to say that the tea was very delicious.  I enjoyed it immensely.  It was quite easy to mix up.  I didn’t have any lumps or anything in it once it was mixed.  Which is nice.  Sometimes when you have drinks from pac
