MommyWeighLess

So today I finally made it to the gym after weeks of missing it. Life has been hectic and exhausting with the pregnancy, buying the house, and my girl friends wedding! It has calmed down and I took advantage. One of my biggest concerns when I got pregnant was that my fit life would have to be put on hold....I could not have been more wrong! My OB recommends remaining active throughout my entire pregnancy so long as I feel up to it. But to be honest I was afraid to lift. He told me as far as cardio to keep a heart rate lower than 140 to burn fat and keep my blood flow safe for baby, but with weights I was told to keep it 45 pounds and under. He also says that losing a little weight in the first trimester (I am overweight..this is not recommended for women at normal or under weight stats) is okay so long as I am not eating at a huge deficit. I eat anywhere from 1800-2000 calories a day and I have lost 5 pounds this month without trying. He feels that at my weight I should aim to gain 15...

So as I have mentioned I am a BzzAgent , and as so I am sent free products while completing BzzCampaigns to test and review! A couple of weeks ago I was sent a coupon to redeem a free T he Glade Expressions ®  Oil Diffuser   . I am not the biggest fan of Glade products because I feel they are a little over marketed and over priced. I always buy the store brand and get just as good a product. I have to admit...after this campaign I have completely changed my opinion !...of their Oil Diffuser at least. I picked up the Pineapple Mango diffuser and it smells heavenly. The smell wavers through out   MY ENTIRE HOUSE  and everyone asks what that great smell is when they walk in! One of my best friends took some of the coupons I received and went the same day and picked up one for her house. I would very highly recommend them to everyone! And I do. It also has a very chic design and blends into my decor well! *ahhhh sings the angels* Another great product ...

I am a BzzAgent and as one we are assigned campaigns where we get to try and sample products for free. Recently I joined a campaign for the new Schick Hydro Silk Razor . I received the product in the mail a couple of weeks ago and I have to admit I was a little skeptical. I was sent what is called the starter kit. In it is the razor handle, two cartridges  and a suction hanger to keep your razor up and out of reach. The first thing I immediately loved was the hanger it came with. I have a one year old and she just loves to act like mommy... so being able to hang my razor up out of her reach is a big plus in my book. The next thing...the long and shapely, almost sexy contour of the handle. It fits well in the palm of your hand, not to short, and not too long. The actual cartridge has five blades! for a closer shave, which is fantastic. Normally I have to buy a men's razor to get more than three! On the package it explains that the cartridge has a h...

The hardest job in the world is being a Stay at Home Mom... There is no arguing with that.  Wait..there is something that is a lot harder, being a stay at home mom trying to overhaul an unhealthy lifestyle. For those of you ladies just starting out, I will tell you now...This is one of the most difficult things I have done second to childbirth. Even then once they are out, they are out. However both raising a child and a healthy lifestyle are full time and life time jobs. Priority numero uno in my life is raising my daughter to be an independent, smart, successful, healthy, happy, driven (the list could go on forever) woman. Then my priorities shift to the health of myself and my family. When I started this I was so unhealthy I could not run for 30 seconds... so how was I supposed to keep up with a child for the next 18 years?!   There was no way I could have. Plain and simple. When I had my epiphany and decided to get fit, for myself and my family, I did not realize...
