Chicken Soup for the Soul : Shaping the New You - Review and Giveaway


Most people are familiar with the Chicken Soup books...
They have been around for as long as I can remember and they are branching into more topics...
The latest book that is out there deals with "Shaping the New You."

Now, the thing I like best about this particular book is that it follows the pattern of all the other Chicken Soup Books.
You get the wonderful quotes... (I think that might be what I love most in some of the stories)
You get the 101 Stories...
and yep, you get the cartoons!

Instead of it being one person telling you what you have to do in order to shape up...
You get 101 stories of inspiration in helping you find the right way for YOU.
Did you get that?
YOU figure out what is right for YOU...

The Chapters are broken down:
Getting Started
Exercise Can Be Fun
To Err Is Human
Regaining Control
The Gym
Liking Myself
Having a Partner
Telling Myself the Truth
Foods that Made a Difference
Off the Beaten Path

My favorite story was Lying to Myself.
The story shared is about someone keeping a food journal that doesn't write it ALL down.
A friend points out that everything you eat needs to be recorded and at the end, the only person you are lying to is yourself.
Love it!

Now, who wants to win a copy?
I know you do!

What will you win:
A copy of Chicken Soup for the Soul: Shaping the New You.

    I'm a public follower via google friend connect.

    I just hit my 100 pound weight loss milestone (a hundred pounds! I say that not to toot my own horn, but more in an "OMG A HUNDRED FRIGGIN POUNDS WHAT THE HECK HOW DID THAT HAPPEN" way!) and I'd love to check this out. I'll admit that at one point I thought these books were more suited for people like my grandma ( I think she has ALL the "Chicken Soup for the Cat Lovers Soul" books!) but I'm interested in this one myself!

    Interesting... we are going thru "Made to Crave" at church now with a small group of us that struggle with food and weight. This may be a another good book to introduce.

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

Image
The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
