Little did I know

Little did I know,last time I called you up it would be the last time I heard your sweet voice through the phone. Little did I know that time on Christmas Eve we sat and talked it would be our last talk alone. Little did I know the flowers I bought you would outlive you. Little did I understand it then and I still can't say I do. Little things you tell me like how your brothers teased and called you droopy drawers little did I know this was would be the last time my laughter mixed with yours. Little can I understand how to get past a loss this big, I know you love me as I loved you but the wound Is still so fresh. Little would anyone believe how long I've prayed for you, Yet now I pray God not only would take you from me but spare you pain too. You are a certain special not many people can be, You are for sure a precious grandma friend you meant so much to me. Your eyes,your smile,your laughter,your hugs,the things you did not even knowing you did them.the encouragement you helped supply me as child will not soon be forgot. Grandma you were a wonderful friend I'm so lucky to have known, I hope hope you know the deepness of the love and kindness on earth you have sewn. ----- I love you.

Fiber one protein cereal and bzzagent

It has been a while since I have updated you all on a new Rachel healthy change I am making or have made! But no fear I have a good one this wait was beyond worth It I was asked to try a product for bzzagent ( for those of you unaware bzzagent is a word of mouth company that offers it's agents a chance to be selected to try products for them and it is free all you owe them in return is your opinion of the product be it good or bad,to find out more visit bzzagent.com) okay well the product the asked me to try was fiber one protein sweetened granola cereal and they sent me both amazing flavors to test and I was plesently surprised the crunch in this cereal was amazing even in milk till my last bite I had a great crunch. I was also amazing at the whopping 6gm of protein and 5 gm of fiber in each serving amazing for those of us in a quest to get more fiber and protein added daily!! The cranberry almond varieties and the maple brown sugar were both awesome flavors quite different than my normals I have almost grown tired of. Loved the varieties the sweet but not to sweet and that crunch till th e last bite was amazing also I definatly will recomend this cereal and plan to incorporate in into a weekly if not daily breakfast routine for me and my family.i also must add this tops Greek yougurt amazingly and is awesome as a way to get a little fiber in your kids,psst added to trail mix and they never were any the wiser. So outta five stars this would get a big 4 3/4 in my book only down fall is the boxes like most cereals are small and go fast in a family our size!

Okay accountability.

I am cracking down on this weight loss journey of mine I need to lose this weight for me yes me. Health wise I know I am not healthy i need to lose some of this excess weight to be healthy I want to be healthy for my wonderful husband and my awesome kids. I want to be healthier so I can wear all my cloths that have been stowed away in a box waiting for one day when I lose some weight! S for breakfast today I had a protein smoothie shake. Actually it was pretty tasty I added 6 oz of 2% milk 1 1/2 s oops of coconut choclate protein powder and a little boston cream pie light yougurt from hoopla it along with 2 1/2 cups of spinich blended it and I must say it was tasty and a cording to my fitness pal app I spent 351 calories on my shake:) and I know I got protein fat and fiber all in one tall glass:) I need encouragement in this guys so often I fall short and quit or just get lax in my weightloss cause I feel I am just on my own I guess but I feel maybe by blogging it I am making it more official and that I will stick to it a lil more! Here is my goals. 1: to lose some weight to improve my overall health 2: start running more frequently than just once to three times a week ( I want to be up to 5) 3: give my hubby and kids a woman who is strong healthy and fit because she loves and respects herself enough she dedicated herself to losing the weight that she didnt need. 4: drink more water 5: encourage others to get healthy too 6: to finally realize that I am strong enough to do this again:)

Eat not so costly but oh so yummy with Kroger fried chicken

I just want to start by saying I am a chicken addict chicken is the main meat we eat and it's a awesome alternative to red meat I do love red meat but chickens my main meal planning meat! I was offered a chance by a wonderful company called bzzagent to try deli fried chicken from Kroger free ( for those who don't know what bzzagent is its a word of mouth company they select people based on demographics and your own answer to their surveys to participate in campaigns where you get to try awesome products free and all you owe in return is your opinion and to tell them when u talk about the product with others!) we also recieved coupons to try Kroger kettle chips free and a liter of good ol coke a cola we loved the chicken it didnt taste like store bought chicken it tasted like what you would get at a restraint that specializes in fried chicken the meat was moist and flavor ful and I definatly recomend! The chips were also awesome we chose BBQ kettle chips by Kroger and even the pickiest eater my two year old loved it. If you are looking for a tasty eat out picnic food or just a fast tasty dinner stop by your local Kroger deli and let their fried chicken be your dinner it's awesome affordable and yummy I give it 5 stars outta 5 we loved it! Eat up;) Kroger and bzzagent did supply me with free coupons however the opinions in this blog are all my own I loved the fried chicken from Kroger!

Kroger smoothie bars

I recently tried these yougurt bars in triple berry for free thanks to bzzagent. If you are not sure what bzzagent is bzzagent is a word of mouth company that lets you try products free of charge and all you owe in return is to report back your conversations, blog posts and or even tweets to let them now how loved, disliked or accepted the product was! These smoothie bars were a great one for my family my two year old is so picky and he loved these smoothie bars in fact he ate most of the first box and loved them. They a low cal and fat so the creamy indulgence of these smoothie bars was awesome and didnt leave me afterward with that feeling of " ugh that treat just set me back on my diet" I loved that they are from Kroger and that even normal price at my store were under 5$ a box definatly recomend you try this no guilt treat from Kroger I tried triple berry but they also have other varietys like strawberry bannana and even so other low cal ice cream treats! Let me know what ones you try and love! Although bzzagent and Kroger supplied me with the coupon to try my box free they didn't tell me what to say in this post or that I should love them as much as I do, that's all me!!!! Happy Friday thanks for reading!

Fast metabolism diet . Did I eat today( d.i.e.t)

Hi guys today I really am excited to share with you all today my expirence ths far with the fast metabolism diet by haylie pomroy. I recieved this book for free from haylie pomroy and Shespeaks.com and I really have enjoyed reading it and starting to put it in place in my everyday life. Some of my main favorites about this book are 1: this diet is not about deprivation or starvation ( sure you are asked to give certain foods up for a alotted time, but it doesn't ask you never eat them again) 2: re I pies are included in the end portion of the book 3: it walks you throu the diet for vegan, gluten free and other special circumstances too:) 4: I love that it encourages eating organic when possible because I already feel so much better about not eating chemicals. And 5: it helps shed weight fast! I have done this diet pretty closely for about 1 1/2 weeks and already feel different ive lost a few pounds but I try not to weigh myself to often, but I truly feel healthier. Weight to me is a small factor in the big scene of how healthy I am! I do think haylie is on to something with this diet it's a "smart diet" in my opinion cause I really don't think it asks anything to unrealistic and all it asks is you follow the phases 1,2,and 3 and that you eat according to those for 28 days. 28 days to a healthier body really isn't much to ask, I mean that's less than a month! I loved that some of my favorite foods can be eaten on this diet like tuna and even have smoothies one of which their is a great recipie for on page 181. If you have been debating a lifestyle change Haylie pomroy's fast metabolism diet may be just what you need it keeps me feeling full and yet it's helping me gain control over my health my life and my metabolism! I can honestly say I am grateful to have been chosen as part of the group of bloggers to recieve a free copy from fastmetabolismdiet/and Shespeaks I have enjoyed reading and applying this diet to my every day life! Also for those tech savvy peopl out their their is a great app for iPhone/iPod/ipad to go along with this book and diet and help track you a little more too! Good luck and I hope to hear more success stories from the diet too! Comment below if you wanna share yours! I recieved a free copy from Shespeaks/fast metabolism diet however they did not tell me what to say my opinions are my own! Thanks for reading I will update my progress and pics from this diet at the end of my days:)good luck to all
