Wojo #Holiday Gift Set

I used to be a big fan of Crystal light (or an off brand), the powdered flavor you add to water. I used to drink it all the time, every day.  I stopped drinking the powdered drink because of the artificial sweeteners.  Some of the drinks just became to sweet for me and I wanted to add something more natural to my water.  

It wasn't until just week, that I stumbled upon Wojo.  Wojo is free of all the artificial sweeteners and sugar.  It adds no color to your water as well as no flavor.  It's gluten and vegan free and is the perfect drink for me.  Wojo has three formulas...Energy, Focus and Calm.  All three are these are something I need in my every day, sometime stressful life. The drinks come in a cute little gift box, perfect for the holiday giving.  There are 5 small plastic vials that come in each box.  

It is recommended not to use more than two vials a day.  All you have to do is add to 4-8 oz of liquid, mix or shake well and enjoy.  I really love these little Wojo drinks.  I can enjoy my water without all that sweetness and color and I don't have to worry about any artificial sweeteners.  

Here is what you can expect in the three formulas:

ENERGY: Schisandra, Ginseng, Taurine
FOCUS:   Ginkgo Biloba, Green Tea, Ginseng
CALM:      L-Theanine, Ginseng, Rhodiola

Also, $2 for every box sold, will go towards CASA (R) Association, which has been advocating for abused and neglected children since 1977!

Fit Wrapz - Sports Nutrition Meals

I'm very leery about a food product that I really like, known to be unhealthy, to become a nutritious and healthy meal.  Burritos, whether their for breakfast or for lunch or supper, are a very convenient, fast and the meal I enjoy at least once a week.  I usually feel a little guilty eating my breakfast burritos, as they are packed with sausage, cheese, lettuce and egg stuffed in a white tortilla shell.

Now, I don't have to feel as guilty.  These Fit Wrapz, by Fit Wrapz, Inc. are not only absolutely delicious and fulfilling, but they are nutritious and contain tons of protein, fiber and low in calories.  My favorite was the Original Breakfast Burrito.  It was packed with ground turkey, cheese, onion, red potatoes, egg whites and whole wheat tortilla.  Let me tell you...this burrito was very well seasoned, was not greasy at all, and was very very filling.  I could barely eat the whole burrito.  The burrito is also a very generous size burrito, which I love.

The Original Breakfast Burrito has 6g of fiber, 25g protein and 350 calories.  My next favorite was the Green Chili Burrito.  Every one of these burritos are very very good and I was very pleasantly surprise on how good that tasted.  Personal trainer and nutrition counselor, Shige Toyoguchi, developed the Fit Wrapz to provide a convenient and nutritious meal that is not only delicious, but has the macronutrients balance to fuel elite athletes.  There are four Fit Wrapz flavors: Original Breakfast Burrito, Breakfast Burrito with Maple Sugar, Green Chili Chicken and Barbeque Chicken.  

These Fit Wrapz boosts energy, ready in less than 3 minutes, perfect meal for any time of day, 51% Whole Grain, Low sodium and Low Sugar, contain only 350-380 calories and low in cholesterol and saturated fats.  They arrive at your home in a styrofoam box, packed with ice.

It's not very often a book catches my attention, unless it's an author I absolute love.
An author that writes books about self help, spirituality or anything in that nature.  The book below caught my attention, because the issues she discusses is one that I am all too familiar with.  Now, my issues doesn't run as deep or serious as hers did ( I say did, because she no longer has these issues), but digestion problems have always seem to be a problem with me, when I eat the wrong foods.

In this book, "Great Taste No Pain", Sherry Brescia discusses some of the issues many of us have with food and digestion.  She explains, that you don't have to give up food you love, but combine certain foods with others, to help in digestion.  Gas, bloating, constipation and heartburn is contributed by not combining foods properly.  She explains in her book how she had severe problems with digestion and stomach problems, until she visited a Holistic doctor who showed her the ways to help combat this problem.

"Great Taste No Pain" does not expect you to eliminate whole food groups, count calories or even rely on meal replacement bars or shakes or even severely restrict portion sizes.  The "Great Taste No Pain" does not require special foods or meal supplements, but instead, shows you how to use the food you already buy and combine them properly for easier digestion.  The book contains many great recipes, easy to prepare at home.

1.  Proper Food Combining Basics

Diet Enlightenment Book Review

I'm always looking for the newest info, next best product or anything that has to do with weight loss!  I lost 20lbs about 5 years ago and kept it off approximately 2 years...until I had to get on blood pressure medicine.  Ever since then, everything started to go down hill...well, not everything, just my workout routing, eating right, etc.

Now, I'm not blaming my weight gain (after my weight loss) on my blood pressure meds, but it took about 3 weeks to get me straightened out to where I didn't want to sleep all the time, feel lethargic and tired with no energy, not to mention I always felt light headed.

Now that everything is straightened out and I've gained all my 20lbs+ back, I'm ready to hop on board and get myself into shape before summer ( I don't have much time left)!  I was excited to have the opportunity to read and review the Diet Enlightenment Book, that was provided to me in an ebook format.

Within the first couple pages or chapters, the author expresses how some diets claim to avoid certain foods, claim to eat certain foods and even eating them at certain times of the day.  There is a lot of hype, lot of new info coming out about dieting and exercise, that has a lot of us NORMAL people confused.

The author explains, you don't have to spend all that money and time to achieve your goals or what you are looking for.  Some of these commercial diets are good and they mean well, but YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND THE MONEY achieving them. 

What is all boils down in the Diet Enlightment Book is calories!  It's as simple as that.  If you burn more calories than what you take in....you're going to lose weight.  Majority of your weight loss is focused more on nutrition than it is on exercise.  Not to say exercise is NOT important, it is!  It's just that you can exercise all you want, but if you are still consuming more calories than what you burn, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LOSE THAT WEIGHT!

I think I needed to hear this first hand and I've always heard this, but for some reason, I felt that there had to be shortcuts...some secret way of losing the weight.  I will admit, I've not read the whole book, but I've read half of it, and from what I have read....I CAN'T WAIT TO FINISH IT!  

Did you know,  that a Waldorf salad, something healthy, has more calories than a Big Mac?  Or that there are some THIN people who can eat chicken nuggets or burgers and not gain weight.  The thing is, these people QUIT eating when they are full!  It's about portion size and quitting when you feel full...not stuffed!  Have you noticed that there are small children and teens, that will eat a few bites of a sandwich or some other food, but then suddenly quits eating, even if they haven't finished?  They have something going on here.

If we can all learn from children and teens, those that QUIT eating once they no longer are hungry, NOT STUFFED, we just may be able to lose those last few pounds.  

The Diet Enlightment Book has so much valuable information and the author puts her own quirky spin and personality into this book, that it's almost hard to put down.  She is a real, down to earth person, who has been through it all when it comes to weight gain and weight loss.  She has it figured out.

If you would like to read more about the Diet Enlightenment Book, you can grab it at Amazon.  I've really enjoyed the author's enthusiasm and her "Enlightenment" of this book!
