My Thoughts

I watch a lot of Dr Oz and all these ingredients have been featured on his show. I was so excited to see Rhodiola Rosea as one of the ingredients. I used to take that years ago and it helped me have so much energy. I have been meaning to buy some but hadn't so I have been taking these pills and do feel more energetic with less appetite so I think these have been successful. They aren't a magic bullet but then again nothing is. You do have to diet and exercise but they are that little extra help I need.

Smart Weigh Bathroom Memory Scale - Silver Review



Product Description

Your search is over! The Smart Weigh SMS500 is the perfect match for what you have been seeking in a memory scale and its advanced step-on technology makes using a scale easier than ever before. Simply step on and receive your precise readings immediately. No set up is needed and you can be on your way to tracking your weight in no time. Why the SMS500? That's easy, because it knows you! In addition to its ease of use, it features an incredible auto recognition functionality that utilizes memory to store and recall the information of up to eight user profiles. That's right, eight users! This is the decisive solution for health, wellness tracking and weight loss, as it differentiates between measurements every time you step on this scale. It will tell you whether you have gained weight or lost it and its large LED display will light up with a color in accordance. Red if you've gained weight and green if you have lost weight, or seen no weight gain. Tracking your results could not be simpler. What sets Smart Weigh apart from everyone else is the advanced sensor technology featured in this scale. It's our way of ensuring our scales are one of the most accurate on the market. We use precision mechanics and components that will alert you if your scale has been moved or needs to be recalibrated. This further enforces the benefit of the innovation and accuracy found within a Smart Weigh scale. The SMS500 records measurements in lbs. and oz. and has a very high capacity, 440 lbs.! It uses 4 AAA batteries and includes a two-year manufacturer's warranty.
My Thoughts
This is the coolest scale I have ever owned. It tracks the weight for up to 8 people. You get on the scale, then when you weigh yourself the next time it will display weight gain in red and weight loss in green. For me it is motivating to keep seeing the green appear and I don't have to try to remember what the exact weight was last time to wonder "have I gained or lost any"? if you step on the scale and weigh 175 lbs and then step on it the next day weighing 174 lbs, it will recognize that you are the one stepping on it because you are within 4.4 lbs of the weight before which was 175 lbs. If you are more than 4.4 lbs different than the last time you stepped on the scale, it will show as if you are a new user. There is a way to manually assign yourself to a user number, with some tapping once you are on the green or red screens. I like that it weights up to 440lbs. A lot of scales don't go that high. Thankfully I am not even close to that but I like when products are made with larger people in mind.

My Thoughts

When I first got this dvd I wasn't able to even try it out because during all the snow of February, I had pulled some muscles and no way was I moving those babies until it was healed. Then once I was healed I found my dvd was messed up and would freeze. The company was quick and very nice about replacing my dvd, no questions asked. Now that I have gotten to try out the dvd, I love that it is a thirty minute a day commitment for thirty days but the DVD actually lasts about an hour if you want to try the whole time. Its been since before I hurt got my back hurt in October that I have even exercised so I couldn't do the whole DVD but the DVD is fun and I am starting to build some stamina and am able to do more each time. Its not an easy DVD but it is a unique approach and lots of fun. . I love that the instructions are step by step and easy to follow. On the down side, it didn't come with a bar but I just used an old broom stick I had and cut down to 40 inches but you can buy a dowel at the hardware store if you want.  All in all, its a different type of workout to strengthen your core and get more flexible and lose some weight while having fun.

Review: Yakon Syrup #lifefoodyacon


Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight, knows how it goes. You are always looking for something that helps you out even a bit. I started reading about yakon syrup online and heard about it from Dr Oz and then was given a chance to review the product from Life & Food,  I jumped at the opportunity.

Let's start with what Yakon Syrup is
LIFE & FOOD 100% PURE RAW ALL NATURAL YACON SYRUP
Our Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) Syrup is sourced from naturally grown organic Yacon fields in the country of Peru. We use the HIGHEST quality Yacon plant to make a premium pure syrup formula.
Yacon syrup has shown to remains low in calories and low on the glycemic index scale. This is due to the fact that the sugar contains high levels of oligofructose (inulin), a form of sugar that is not metabolized readily by the human body. For this reason, Yacon is ideal for diabetics and acts as a great alternative to conventional low calorie sweeteners.

PRODUCT DETAILS
    • 100% pure Yacon syrup has shown to assist in weight management, increase fiber intake and promotes good bowel function.
    • Other benefits include: Lowers blood sugar. Prevents and controls hyperglycemia (over activity).
    •  Restores renal activity. 
    • Is a powerful Antioxidant.
    • High in prebiotics and probiotics, this syrup contains up to 50% of FOS (fructooligosacharides). 
    • It has been found that consumption of FOS does not increase blood glucose, and helps boost your bodies metabolism.
    • Naturally grown and sourced from the fields in Peru. 
    • Organic certified by our manufacturing specialists.
    • 100% pure raw organic syrup formula with no added preservatives.
    •  Bottled and tested in a FDA certified GMP facility in the USA





      Here is the morning spoonful. If you don't like the taste of molasses, then I recommend you mix it in with tea or something. I love molasses so it wasn't a problem for me.  I think this would be really good used as a baking substitute if the price ever comes down. Right now its a bit high for cooking purposes.


      My experience with Yakon Syrup
      I had read in a few places that yakon syrup could cause stomach upset so I was leery and only took 1 tsp a day in the beginning. I had no problems whatsoever taking that amount. I managed to end the month about 5 lbs less than I started and since I wasn't doing anything else to lose weight I am attributing it to using the yakon syrup. I am going to continue using this product.
      Yes, I would recommend this product and plan to give it a real go myself. I will hopefully have a better more in depth answer at the end of August.

      Biggest Loser and dieting

           I am so glad. The person I most want to win the biggest loser is one of the final 3 for sure. Danni lost the most percentage tonight and so she and Jeff are guaranteed spots in the finale. The 3rd spot is between Jackson and Joe, both of whom I really liked also. I would have preferred Jeff so I could vote against him. I just don't like him. I am so glad Gina is gone though. Every single week I have wanted her to be out. It was hard to choose who to vote for because I do like both Jackson and Joe. I voted for Joe though because I just like him. He hasn't been one of the more vocal members but he has been steady and dependable. I like his character a lot. He seems like a really great guy. But I still want Danni to win. She just seems so sweet and she reminds me of me. I wish I could have lost all my weight way back in my twenties. I have wasted over half my life being fat. There are so many things I haven't done. Pictures I am not in because I hate seeing me. I want so bad to change it. I am praying this time I want it bad enough to succeed. I am starting day 3 of a diet I found online at Ladies Home Journal. Its a 7 day startup diet for the biggest loser. So far I have lost   5 pounds. I didn't get to walk yesterday because I was on the road running a ton of errands (yes that means my car is fixed, Praise the Lord) but I have walked once or twice a day for 3 days now.


      Today's mail brought me the book I ordered through Tyndale Rewards that I blogged about here. I also got an email and I won a coupon for a free box of Honey Bunches of Oats from A Big Little Family. Also I want to say I totally am in love with the Adora calcium supplements I won. Omgoodness, they are so sweet and creamy. They remind me of Dove or Godiva. They are really that good. They are not like that other calcium supplement I tried which was pretty good but these just are over the top. Plus they are only 30 calories for each one so I can have them and not feel bad about it. I literally have to force myself to only eat one though. Gosh they are good.

      Losing Weight

      WEIGHT LOSS

           I did absolutely terrible  in the month of February on my diet and exercise plan. I actually gained back all that I had lost in the month of January and that was a big let down. Part of it stems from not having a car to get to the store. I had to send others to the store for me all month because I had no way there so basically my daughter just blowed our months grocery budget on junk.  Then its been so cold that there was just no way I was walking outside. If I had my car I could get to the park and at least get some exercise. I live on a very big hill and it kills my knees to walk down the hill and goodness knows I am so out of shape, I can't make it back up the hill. I tried doing some exercise routines in the house but I don't know if it was because of my fibro or what but every time I even did 5 minutes of exercise I spent the next 24-36 hours in bed in horrible pain :(. 
           I seriously need a job so I can afford to go to the doctor to see what's going on. I am hoping though now that spring surely is on the way and my car going to be fixed that I can walk. I can walk better than any other exercise, I feel. I have made my shopping list and planned a week's worth of meals already. I am just going to view this past month as a lesson learned and move forward and keep trying.

      Biggest Loser

        If you have read my blog you will know that one of my goals for the year is to lose weight. I have been making small changes this first week, such as unsweetened tea, trying to exercise more.   Tonight I watched the season premiere of Biggest Loser. I was really disappointed with it. I do not like Jillian, I guess she is one of those people you either love or hate and I am not on the love side. I thought she was too mean. I didn't blame the woman for walking out of the show. If you are overweight the world treats you badly anyway. I am not the kind who would push myself for someone who was mean to me. My whole life I have had people being mean to me and I would not put myself in a place where someone would yell at me like that. I just think you can get results without having to be nasty about it.
          I wish I could join a gym because I can't afford to buy an assortment of equipment but we only have one gym here and its pretty high dollar so I can't afford that either. Going to have to be plain old walking and exercise tapes for me. My whole life I have never been able to lose weight without exercising a lot, and by lot I mean hours. Some people can lose weight by cutting calories but that just doesn't seem to do it for me. For my diet plan I am going with a modified Adkins plan. That has worked for me in the past but I gave up. I am tired of giving up and this is going to be the time I succeed. I have spent my whole life overweight and I have made so many bad choices based on my weight. I can think of so many times I didn't do something because I was fat. I am sick of being fat. 
         I am trying each day to remember that I would rather by thinner and healthy than to eat all the time. To do that I am going to have to work hard and spend some time every day reading others blogs and posts for inspiration.

      Thursday news

      Right now I am only on day 3 of my healthy lifestyle changes. I have done 3 days of this video. Its only 10 minutes of cardio and a minute of stretching but I am so out of shape that the first day I could only do 6 minutes. But the past 2 I have done the whole thing. I am proud of the fact that at least I can do the whole video and that I have done it 3 days in a row. As soon as I get this one mastered I will be adding or switching to new videos. Its a shame that I am this out of shape but without working at the beginning, it will never change. I haven't lost any weight and as any dieter will tell you thats discouraging. We want to see instant results. I just am telling myself that the results might be slow in coming but that they are coming and even if its only 5-10 lbs a month in a year that will be 60-120 lbs less. I just have to keep on keeping on.
      My left knee is sore today, I think I over extended during the stretches yesterday so today I did a little more marching and less of the other exercises but I did at least keep moving. RA makes diet and exercise a challenge. I haven't really started cutting any calories, right now I am just trying to make better choices. If I want something junky, I ask if its really worth it and weight my options. I won't lie, day 1 I did eat some barbeque potato sticks but I knowingly made that choice and I have done better on day 2 and 3. I got some really cool popsicles at the store on clearance and they are only 20 calories each and taste really good. Lets face it, part of my problem is that I like to snack and I have to find better snack choices if I am going to make it. Its just not realistic to say I am going to stop snacking.

      Online Exercise Videos

      One of the things I am trying to do is to exercise more. I want to lose weight and be healthy. One of the problems with having rheumatoid arthritis is that you keep losing flexibility and its pretty stealthy. You aren't aware of how much is going so I want to do some exercises to increase both strength and flexibility. I have tons of videos but lets face it I am lazy :) By the time I turn on the tv, open the case and load the dvd player I am out of the mood. So for me an exercise video online is perfect. I found some awesome videos at Sparkpeople that are just the right length since I am just starting and they are pretty easy to follow. I am trying to do the 10 minute cardio bookcamp daily and working my way up from there. Hopefully as my new meds start to take effect I will be more able to do things. I go see a rheumatoidolgist next week for the first time ever. I have high hopes for him helping me. I want to halt the progression I see daily.
