EatSmart Digital Bathroom Scale Review & Giveaway

Upon making the decision to enter into the Biggest Loser Contest, I knew I was going to have to go on a search for a new scale. For the past couple of years I've had a love/hate relationship with these "torturious" devices. Mainly hate though. I hated them because of the toe touch start up, trying to navigate between Dirt Diver's saved weights and mine, the constant have to recalibrate them after the kids had played with them. I started veiwing them with such negativity that I pretty much stopped stepping on them altogether.

And that is another reason why I am where I am in my weight.

With the help of the EatSmart Digital Bathroom Scale™, I've dropped the hatful feelings I've harbored for scales and can find myself loving mine with each time I use it.

Features that gained my love:

- An easy to read 3.5" digital display. I can even read it without my glasses on!

- A 12" x 13" platform topped with Sleek & sturdy tempered glass top glass

- Consistent and accurate measuring thanks to the 4 precision sensors

- Auto powering off and calibrations!
 

(and the MOST important reasoning...)
- no toe tapping needed! You just simply step on and it produces your weight!

- Another plus is due to its' simplicity it makes weighing the little kids so much easier too! No more waiting months on end for a doctor's appointment to get these values.

Biggest Loser: Snacking is just as nasty as smoking

How does one stop snacking on the yummy goodness around them?

It hasn't even been 24 hours since I've started this new adventure and I have failed already.

They were calling my name..."Chelle...chhhhheeeelllleeee"

What was I to do?

Ignore them?

That would be so incredibly rude of me to ignore the sweet yummy goodness that 'Tater slaved in the kitchen to create.

I'm weak.

Completely and utterly weak!

I want to have the will power and self discipline to stop from reaching for those oh so yumminess of my beloved food. but it's so incredibly hard.

Almost worse then quitting smoking. Sadly I quit smoking 3 packs a day faster then a turkey getting plucked than I can curb the urge to snack.

How does one do it? How does one stop their hand from reaching out? I wish I had the answer because I truly think this nasty habit is going to be the demise of me loosing the weight I want.

And since I'm confessing to my eating sins I might as well put myself on blast and make public my numbers today!

Weight: 162.3

Thighs: 24.5"

Arms: 

Waist: 39.5"

Chiquita Mom Review & Giveaway!

I’m not one for bananas, for the most part absolutely can not stand the way they taste after undressing them. However my feelings are not shared by everyone else in the house.  I do like banana smoothies and banana bread. They eat them straight out of the peel faster then I can keep them in stock. I’m always, ALWAYS replacing them.

The other day I bout a bundle, took them out of the bag, set them on the counter, turned to throw bag away, turned back and what was once 8 had magically dwindled down to 3. This is an every day occurrence here. I’ve tried hiding them, I’ve tired leaving them in the car, putting them in high cabinets, what have you but it never works. Almost like the kids have banana radar in them.

Anyways Chiquita contacted me to see if I would be interested in receiving a healthy kit that had great ideas for nutritional snacks for the kids. This was a complete no brainer in my book! The kids would be so mad if I had passed up this opportunity. Fast forward to a door bell ringing and there sitting on my porch was a white box with a HUGE image on it. The kids were pushing on either side of me to see what arrived and if it involved them.

Of course the excitement followed me into the kitchen as I opened the box to hear a bunch of “ohhh can I have?” and “If you aren’t going to use”.  The kit included some fabulous useful items, such as:

• Chiquita Mom’s Flip Book
• Chiquita Mom’s Freezer Bags
• Chiquita Mom’s Recipe Cards
• Coupon for a FREE bundle of Chiquita Bananas
• Chiquita Banana’s baby safe bowl w/ lid, fork, spoon, and Sippy cup
• Chiquita Banana baby bibs

And last but not lease since this was my favorite part of the kit…

• Chiquita Banana’s Moms’ Reusable Grocery Tote Bag.

(Can't believe I forgot to add a pic of my favorite thing!)

Why do I love being part of Chiquita Moms?

Simply put… spending quality time with the kids while feeding them something nutritional!

It gave us an opportunity to have fun picking out the perfect bunch of bananas, laughing and learning about dark green to bright yellow bananas, plantation bananas, and discuss which recipe we would love to try when we got home. It also gave me a reminder that just because life is busy doesn’t mean we have to push nutrition aside. Banana’s are cheap, easy, and a delicious snack. They curb
