Curves Chewy Granola Bars
These have to be the greatest granola bars out there. I eat them all the time before my workout. They are high in fibre and fill you up, while at the same time tasting like a chocolate bar. They are addictive. Beware.

I have found a new guilty pleasure. Guilty in the way that I want to eat more than one at a time. These new dessert selection yogurts are perfect for an after dinner sweet craving. They are only 35 calories and come in 8 delicious flavours. The best thing is : They are aspartame free, which means you don't have that tangy taste that comes along with other low calorie yogurts.
I am someone with a sweet tooth and having a 35 calorie alternative is welcomed :)

I can't fully comment on the effectiveness of Whey Protein for weight loss but I can say that it is filling. I recently purchased the Jillian Michaels Vanilla Shake Whey Protein Powder. I have tried it alone with milk, but I would not recommend going this route. The taste was not great on it's own. Mixed in with fruit and milk in my Magic Bullet, however, was a different story. I found that it was great for filling me up post workout and was quite refreshing to make it up in this manner. -

I love this video! The 30 day shred is my favourite out of the Jillain MIchaels series of videos. I also have Boost Your Metabolism and Trouble Zones but this one differs because it is structured like a circuit training workout. You complete 3 circuits, which are 6 minutes each for a 20 minute workout. There are three workouts on the video and the idea is that you complete workout one for 10days and so on...
The workouts are broken down into three segments:
3 minutes strength
2 minutes cardio
1 minute abs
What I love about this video is that the workout flies because of the way the circuits are broken down. They also are a great workout. I usually complete two of the segments at a time to feel a full workout. 20 minutes doesn't seem long enough for me to get my heart rate pumping.
I would highly recommend this video, especially if you are together with a group of girl friends :)

After getting this hearth rate monitor a year ago, I can say that no workout is complete without it's use. It is a great way to track how hard you are working and I especially love that I can use it as a guide for how many calories I am burning each workout.
The package comes with a strap for around your chest that can be easily adjusted. You must follow the directions and apply a little bit of water to the back nodes in order for the monitor to immediately read your heart rate. Also, often the monitor takes a few minutes to track your heart rate. At first I thought my batteries were running low but it seems to be a common issue. When it first is turned on, the monitor reads a very low rate. Once you start exercising, however, the monitor quickly readjusts itself.

I love this product. I must admit, it's mostly for the scrublet. The small rubber disk that is inset in the cleanser bottle is wonderful. It provides a gentle exfoliation while you clean your face. Your face feels both refreshed and totally smooth after you are done.
The cleanser is more of a milk cleanser than a foam, which was what I was expecting, but the end result is that you feel more hydrated then using the typical gel cleanser. I would highly recommend this product. At the very least, save your scrublet and use it with other cleansers if you are the sort to switch it up between cleansers on a regular basis.
