Hello Friends,

Biggest Loser Protein Blue Blueberry Protein2Go

Hope this finds you well.
Did you watch the Biggest Loser last night? I did. Some things just blow my mind away…a concept that I and many others have yet to reverse in our minds…we have to eat to lose weight! I am talking about the segment where Bob watches a food video diary that the contestants did. Bob was upset at their food choices because the contestants were trying to make their favorite foods but at the lowest calories and Bob was like no no no…yes LOWER calories but MORE quality calories especially protein and carbohydrates at every meal. Then Bob brought out my favorite protein…Our Designer Whey Powder…he had the contestant add a scoop to his water…very cool to see. I love blogging on Designer Whey’s site, I believe in sharing my thoughts on the best product out there.

I was looking at the graphs on my FREE diet plan from Designer Whey and I can see my protein level was only at 88%. I still am not getting enough protein.  Today I decided to carry my Lite and Lean 2GO Packets with me and when ever I drink a bottle of water I am going to add a pack. Yesterday and the day before I was just so pooped out. See, I clean houses for my exercise sometimes 6 hours a day of vigorously cleaning and I get paid too! When I checked my diet plan graphs and did not think about it until Bob said…”you have to have good quality protein to have the energy to burn fat and lose weight”. Then a light went on, maybe that is why I am so tired! Add a pack of lite and lean to your water bottle, its only 30 calories, taste great and gives you the energy to burn fat! Plus an added bonus the 2GO Lite and Lean contains 5g of fiber. SO you can take your 2GO with you and it will also help you to go! lol

Beautiful day here in Michigan. Have a good one.

Howdy Friends!

I know you cried…don’t lie…lol. This week, “Biggest Loser” touched my heart. Mike’s brother crying because of his weight. I sure can relate. I am amazed at the weight these people have lost in 15 weeks, just awesome. Like Tara said they are lucky and blessed to have this opportunity. It is really neat that we get to witness their success and see that it is possible. I know I have lost weight this week but I am not going to tell you until Monday hehehehe… but it is good friends, very good.

If you are new to this site…please take advantage of Designer Whey’s Free Healthy Diet Program. It is worth it! I can personally attest to that. Part of my eating plan I include the weight control powders along with the lite and lean powders. I love seeing my progress and seeing how many calories I ate for the day then comparing to the movement I made. If you don’t know, one pound equals 3500 calories so if you burn that amount per day you could potentially lose a pound a day! The Biggest Losers burn 7000 calories a day (not recommended with out a trainer and your doctor) that is why they can lose 10 or more pounds a week.

I am fired up again friends, determined to keep on this path to a lighter me. I hope you are too. Keep moving forward, keep making healthy choices for yourself…you are so worth it.

Take care,

Camille

Hello Friends,

Well the detox is over. My daughter and I did not lose as much as we wanted. I lost 3 pounds and she lost 4. I am glad we did it. Due to life situations we could not follow this exact. A lesson my daughter learned that diets like this are very difficult because they do not accommodate life situations, such as funerals and track meets, after school activities, jobs etc… We did learn good things for example the more fruit we ate the less sugar cravings we had. Veggies can be filling when you eat enough. When you eat healthy you do not have acid reflux.

The lesson I am trying to teach my daughter that it is best to eat a healthy balance diet every day. A friend gave a good suggestion that our diets on a daily bases should be 80/20 ratio. Meaning 80% of our diets need to be healthy the other 20% is for healthy fats and one small treat. Making good choices every day is necessary. For example, at a funeral I attended they had a luncheon, a huge variety of unhealthy goodies to eat. I stuck to loading up on fruit and veggies, 1 turkey roll and the smallest slice of carrot cake which is good for me because normally I would have grabbed the biggest slice I could find!

I wanted to share one of my favorite dishes.

Healthy Asian Salad- Delicious and full of nutrients and antioxidants

1 bag of Broccoli slaw

1 tablespoon sesame oil

3 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon pine nuts

3 tablespoon cranraisins

½ cup chunked cucumber

¼ cup grapes cut in half

¼ cup grape tomatoes cut in half

Serves 5 or more if you add more veggies and fruit.

You can add chicken (oh grilled chicken is awesome) and have a complete meal that is healthy, full of flavors and good for you. Did you know that sesame oil lowers blood pressure and is full of antioxidants? It does it’s a good oil for you. Broccoli, cucumber and tomatoes are low in calories high in nutrients. Cranraisins are sweet and give this salad some chewiness. Rice vinegar gives this salad a little tartness. Pine nut gives some crunch and flavor. You can use raw cashews or sesame seeds as an alternative. Grapes also give a sweetness you can use strawberry, raspberry or any fruit you like. You can add red peppers that would give it a little kick. This salad can be made anyway you like it add items, omit items…be creative and colorful. Everyone I have made this for loves it…well, not my kids because their taste buds have yet to mature…lol. I make a batch and munch on it for a few days. It’s great for when you have those craving days.

Hope this find you well. Back to my healthy plan that includes my weight control powders and lite and lean drinks because I know they help me obtain my goals and they will help you as well.

Well Friends,

I am on day 3 of my detox regimen. Its going pretty good. Day one I ate only fruits, not so bad, I like a variety of fruits. Day two I ate only vegetables. That was a little harder, I don’t like as many veggies. Plus, in the detox regimen you can make French onion soup (no bread or cheese of course) loaded with any veggies your heart desires, except potatoes. You can eat the soup at anytime with the days food plan. Today was mixed vegetables and fruits. The only side effect of eating French onion soup every day, several times a day is… well… when you pass gas it smells like onion soup! LOL. I keep waiting for this huge movement but it has not happened yet. I hope it will be one of those ‘ah ha’ moments, lol.

What’s interesting is I am not craving sugar at all! So that tells me I definitely need more fruit in my diet. I think I consumed so much fruit (which we know is nature’s sugar) that I did not need to crave the candy. Maybe when you crave sugar you simply need to add more fruit to your diet.

I did have a glass of my Lite and Lean powder before I cleaned house. I felt I needed it to make it through four hours of cleaning. Good thing its only 30 calories. My daughter is a trooper; she is following it to the tee. Except she keeps saying she can’t wait until Saturday to eat the donut she put in the freezer from a school party. I do have to hand it to her for not eating the donut, she stuck to her plan. I think I will encourage her to cut in thirds and eat only 1/3. I guess… don’t know. What do you say to not offend you teen daughter??? I did tell her to eat a protein bar before track practice. Maybe that is why she is not having hunger pangs.

Today I cleaned house for four hours straight, walked the dogs then went swimming. I swam 10 laps, back stoke taking a breather between laps, just for a minute.  I take my kids with me to the pool. They are always trying to beat me. They get close, but this big ol’ mama still can out swim them. Well, for one lap anyway. I am sure I could not beat them 2 laps in a row but we will keep that secret to us right…friends????

I hope this finds you healthier then yesterday. Don’t forget to drink your whey every day!

Man, I am so tired of the cold and snow here in Michigan. Today I was driving home after dropping my kids off at school and I see this white pick up come flying out of a side street and skidded across 4 lanes, slid facing me head on, came towards me head on then turned his wheel to avoid me and did a 360. His tail end came a few feet from me; he spun out and hit the curb on the other side. My angels were with me because folks had he not turned his wheel I would not be here. It’s just a reality of how quickly in a flash moment of life, your life can be taken…

Water… friends get enough water! I really love my 2GO packets. I have a glass that is 24 oz big and I add one packet of the Lite & Lean… filler ‘er up and toss in some ice and you have a great low calorie drink with some protein and fiber. My favorite flavors are the Raspberry Acai and the Mixed Blueberry 2GO. I drink this 3 times a day with my biggest meals and let me tell ya, it gets you going regularly. I get in my water and I eat less!

 I am still amazed at The Biggest Loser Show. The biggest kid is 400 pounds and he runs and jogs. He is determined to be the biggest loser ever. I hope he makes it. It is sure inspiring to see the changes one could make it you put your mind and heart to it. I know it’s not realistic to think I would lose 10, 20, 30 pounds in one week but as we can see it is possible.

I hope this finds you well and warm.
