Acai - 3 week update

Well, I have stopped taking the pills this week and I feel like they helped a little bit, but not as much as the news lady. According to her blog she had increased energy, better sleep, and weight loss. Not me! Over all I think I was actually sleeping less and more tired in the morning. I did loose about 5 lbs total! Which is great, but I hope it doesn't just come back right to my bum!! I probably wouldn't recommend it to anybody, but I guess it has different affects on people??? If you want to try and see what it does for you, let me know how it goes.

Two week update on the Acai pills

Ok, I have lost a total of 5lbs since I started! Whoo hoo I don't think I have ever lost weight before. My energy levels are the same as normal. Although there have been some times here and there were I find myself having morre energy. All in all I like the outcome and will finish my trail and see what happens after that! I have a few more weeks to go. Until next week....

Visiting St. Louis

This past weekend we went to St. Louis to visit the O'Tooles! We had lots of fun on Saturday, we took Maddie to her last session of swimming school. She did really well and did not cry once!! What a great niece! Here are some cute pics..... Madeline using me as a crutch to stand up.
Here she is enjoying my Christmas gift to her! This stuffed giraffe if bigger than her.


Here we are before the swimming lesson, as you can see there is a really cool slide behind us. I was sad that is was closed!!


Maddie relaxing with Poppy and the Dogs.


Maddie started to get tired and put her head against me and sticks her thumb in her mouth....HOW ADORABLE!!




Week One

Well, I received my Advanced Acai pills in the mail last week and I have been testing them out. I don't really feel too much difference in energy levels, although yesterday I did feel more energized after working late, which is highly unusual! Not sure if I lost any lbs yet but I will weigh myself today at the Y. I am not sure if it is the pills or my craving for sweets, but I have found myself eating more sweets than normal. So I might have gained weight?? Hope everyone has a great week.

Just got back from the gym and found out I lost 3 lbs! I guess it is working.

Acai Berry Trial

Well, today I was looking around on the KY3 website, mainly looking for when the snow was supposed to fall and cancel school. Then I stumbled across this article about the new Advanced Acai Berry diet. This news cast lady was the Guinea pig to try it and do an article about it.
Turns out all her doubts were put to sham by the 12 lbs she lost in 5 weeks! I have heard a lot of great things about this berry in my workout classes and in shape magazine, but now it is on the news so it can't be too bad for me??
Well, I signed up to get a free trial ( which is what the news lady did) and I am going to give it a try. I just need to make sure I cancel it in 20 days or less or they will charge me $149 dollars!! Wish me luck, I should get the pills in 2-5 days. I will keep you posted each week as I give this stuff a test.

Cat piss smells bad

What do you do when your cat sprays the floor with his smelly smelly odor??? I have heard that some people put them in a room with only their litter box, food and water. This is supposed to somehow remind them of how to use it.? So we tried that. For about a week Mojo had his alone time in the spare bedroom, but after a while I felt sorry for him. Plus, he didn't pee on the floor in the spare room at all, so I decided to give him another try to wondering the house. Then, last night Michael felt a wet spot on his foot... MOJO!!! We could tell it was him and not Pickles because there was just a little mist of it, not a small puddle.

Does anyone have anyother suggestions because he is about to get the boot out the door!!
