Entering the Zone Day 1

August 31, 2011 1 Comment

Yesterday I told you about my opportunity to review the Zone 1-2-3 Diet in Entering the Zone. I told you that I was going to give a play by play of each day. Yesterday’s breakfast was a sesame seed bagel with low cal margarine.

First let me tell that I liked how each food comes individually wrapped. No waste.

The hardest part I found about this was eating the whole thing. I am not a big breakfast or lunch eater. I nibbled through the days.

The suggested lunch was bagel chips with hummus. But instead I had the bagel chips with low fat vanilla yogurt. Once again, the bagel chips came in its own wrapper.

For a snack I had the Pretzel which was amazing.

Dinner was Margherita Pizza with Zone’s pizza crust. My pizza did not come out as pretty as the picture so I am just going to use their picture.

All in all it was an okay day. I will admit to have a mt. dew ( I know bad) and a handful of Peanut M&M’s at night but I think I did pretty good considering. Today I can’t wait to try the cookies.

Day 3 of Blogging Challenge

Day 3: Your Top 5 Pet Peeves

1. People who complain about not having any money then in the next sentence tell what they just bought. Like a brand new TV or new computer or camera DUH that’s why you don’t have any money lol

2. People who tell you if you need help all you have to do is ask for it and they will help. Only to ask for help and be told you are just using them. Hey you said if you need help to ask?? If you don’t mean it don’t offer it.

3. People who say they are your friends but then just use you and when you need them to stand by you and help you out where are they nowhere to be found. ( see pet peeve 2)

4. When you ask someone to do something and they say they will but they never do and you end up doing it yourself. ( My girls are bad about that)

5. People being racist. My husband is from Mexico and I felt the prejudice of those here in the US because he is a Mexican but I have also felt it in Mexico because I am a gringa (white girl LOL)

Well those are my top 5 pet peeves what are yours? I would love to hear about them.

Crunchmaster Crackers #Giveaway

August 31, 2011 7 Comments

Crunchmaster Crackers is an awesome cracker. Have a child on a GFCF (#gluten free, casein free) diet? Crunchmaster has 6 crackers to meet their snacking needs including: 20oz Original Multi-Grain (Sam’s Club), 20oz 5-Seed Multi-Grain (Costco), 4.5oz Original Multi-Grain (Wal-Mart), 4.5oz Original Multi-Seed (supermarkets), 3.5oz Toasted Sesame Baked Rice (select Costco regions) & their new 3.5oz Hint of Sea Salt 7 Ancient Grains (natural stores)! This product caught my attention because I will be starting a series on Gluten-free and healthy foods for children. Having a child who I think down the line will have to be gluten free because of her IBS I decided to start investigate new snack foods alternatives for her. Also having an “adopted” daughter (one of my daughter’s friend that has Celiac I am always looking for new snacks to have on hand when she comes over.) That said anybody interested in receiving some Crunchmaster Crackers. If you are than just use the rafflecopter entry form below to enter. If the form does not load refresh your browser or switch to another browser.

This opinions expressed are my own. I received a sample of Crunchmaster Crackers to facilitate my review. Regardless, I only run contests and recommend products that I would use.

#Freebie: Mine Sweeper for Kindle

August 30, 2011 Leave a Comment

Do you enjoy puzzle games? With Mine Sweeper you must use your deductive powers in a race against time to quickly clear a minefield.

The objective of Mine Sweeper is to find all of the mines that are hidden on the game grid. When you uncover a location on the grid, the number of mines adjacent to that location is revealed. The game ends when you have successfully identified all the mines and uncovered all the unoccupied locations – or, when you inadvertently uncover a location that contains a mine. The clock is ticking, so challenge yourself to go faster and faster with each game.

The Kindle version of Mine Sweeper contains 3 different grid sizes for various levels of difficulty and thousands of different puzzles for almost endless variety. If you are new to Mine Sweeper, turning on “Tips” will provide helpful hints to get you started.

Exercise and challenge your deductive powers with Mine Sweeper.
