Okay, I am putting myself on a diet. Ok, not quite a diet. It is a new product called Sensa. I’ll be honest — I’d love to lose about a hundred pounds. However, at this point, I would like any sort of weight loss. My goal is to do an update post each week. If I don’t, somebody clock me upside my head and remind me. Sensa is a product that allows you to eat whatever you want. However, it helps with your portion control. All you do is shake a some of the Sensa on your food everytime you eat, and it does it’s magic.
I weighed myself this morning, so I know my starting weight (no, I am not listing it here) and I took some pictures (well, my mom was here and took them):
So I guess we can call these the “before” pictures. I’ve watched the DVD that came with the Sensa, and it said that some women don’t see a change until 3 months into this. I hope that isn’t me. I am all for instant results. The first thing I have noticed is that the Sensa makes my food taste better. Now, I plan on mostly keeping to my normal lifestyle, and we will see if this works for me. If you’d like to join me on this journey, use ROCKETXL to get 15% off your order (no minimum order either) and you’ll get free shipping too.
Box Tops & A $50 Giveaway Too!
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008First, you need to log into the Box Tops site and create an account. You enter your state and your school or if you don’t know that, just enter your zip code. I personally entered the school and state. From there, you are able to see how your local school is going. Now, how do you increase that number? Well, you can collect box tops with that logo on it. They also have a Marketplace. Now, until recently, I did not know about the Marketplace. This works so awesome too! There is a list of stores that will give a percentage of whatever you buy from them back to the school. There are stores like Avon, Gap, Kohls, Best Buy, Leap Frog, Target, and Walmart (this is just a couple of them — the whole listing is on the site). All you have to do is log into the Box Tops Site, click on marketplace, then click on the store you want to shop it. That’s it. Once you checkout, the percentage you purchased will then be applied to your school. If you are Christmas shopping online anyway, why not help out your local school (and if you don’t want to help any of them out, I’ll tell you the school we are sending our money too, and you can use them).
Did you know that Box Tops has donated more than $250 million to schools nationwide since 1996? Would you like to help raise that number? Then start collecting Box Tops and use their Marketplace to do your online shopping! To help you get started, I am giving away a $50 gift card to Barnes & Noble (thank you Barnes & Noble for your support of such a great program!). What do you have to do?
