Ok so I have been on ReFirm for a week. I have had heartburn twice from the daily lean packets. Not sure why... But other than that~ great. I have struggled with a hunger issue between meals. Found that starchy carbs after 3pm is a bad idea for weight loss for me.
[Background: I feel my body is smaller than it is. When I look in the mirror I don't see the person I feel that I am. Meaning there is a healthy fit person in there that's covered with layers of fat. I am getting closer to seeing the person I feel that I am.]
Results from my first week: 5lbs lost and 3 inches lost with 2 of those from my hips. Awesome right! My fave part is that my shoulders/delts are toning up really nice. I look skinnier and my tummy isn't as bloated. I'm shrinking. I have lost a total of 8lbs since the beginning of the year and only 2 more til I get my 10lb reward which is a bracelet from zales with a believe charm for it. And every 10lbs I'm going to get a new charm to represent my accomplishment. I'M actually excited about this.
I tried a soy protein shake and YUCK! I guess it is back to eating eggs in the AM. LOL

FitBit
I bought myself a FitBit one in burgundy. I LOVE this thing!!! Its my new BFF. Its a activity tracker and sleep tracker. Love syncing and checking out my progress as well as trying to get better data every day!
That is the activity flower. The more active you are the more leaves it adds. That was after working out and walking alot. right now just sitting around and blogging its at 1 leave with the flower. It shows cals burned, steps walked, floors and distance. Also you can program an alarm which will vibrate your arm when its time to get up. The sleep tracker notes any movement and time you were in bed (after getting the timer activated) and when you fell asleep and how long you actually slept for. AWESOME!!!. Totally recommend this thing. You can add friends and compete with each other. So if you have one come to my profile and add me!!! My Fitbit profile. Oh and the battery is crazy awesome!! The charge lasts for 5 -7 days!!! :) You can get these online or from BestBuy!! They also have a wireless scale that I really want!!!
ReFIRM
I am currently on ReFirm from Complete Nutrition.
Is the kit I bought from my local CN. It has both the Am and Pm pills in it. I had the black Am pills which is an ehanced version. It also has the daily lean packets which are your mulit vit, mood and focus and belly fat blaster. I am also taking Tone. Trent at CN gave me a sheet with food choices and exercise choices as well as his card for when I have questions. To find your local store go here: Store Locator . They have people there that are interested in helping you reach your goals.
Day 1: so far so good. No crazy side effects that I was reading about. Yay!!! :) Cant wait til this 60 days are up and see what my progress is. :)

Deck of Cards workout
I bought a deck of cards on clearance. I found some things on Pinterest about this which I decided to use for myself.
My workout: Hearts: Squats
Diamonds: Push ups
Spades: Crunches
Clubs: Up-n-Downs
ACES: (10) calf raises
Jokers: March 1 min
#= reps
Face cards= 20 reps
Squats can be any form that you like. I prefer to just cycle through sumo, regular, plie' and closed leg. Push ups, I am going to do the modified until I build up my strength. Up-n-Downs are putting hands on floor from standing lowering to knees and back to standing with hands being the last to come off the floor. Calf raises are just that raising up onto your toes. Marching or jogging in place for the 1 min.

Beginning
Hi everyone! My name is Pam. I live in NW Arkansas. I am a mom to 2 little girls Miss S (4) and Miss P (2). They keep me busy. Also married almost 9 years.
I have gotten chubby in this life. I am currently weighing in at 205. I started my 60 day program of ReFIRM from Complete Nutrition. So far so good. I have changed my diet too. I am using the Fit Bit one gadget as well and I love it. Working out and trying to reshape my body using DVDs, walking, and other activities.
At the end of the 60 days, I will post before and after pictures and measurements with a review of the product. I will hopefully be at my goal by the end of the year which is 140lbs.
I want to transform my life to one that's active and very fit. I have been "trying" to lose weight for over a decade and this time is different. I am going to be 30 in April and I don't want my next decade to be unhealthy and "frumpy". I want to be the inspiration for moms to know that they too can be fit and fabulous.
Little about me... I am short, no style what so ever and large chested (which keeps me from being super bouncy in my workouts). I am LAZY!! For a while I just didn't care about myself. How many women are like this? I'm not sure but I want to be someone to help others out.
Goals... I want to be 140. I want to be able to go to a store and buy clothes without being confused as to which department my sizes will be in. I hate shopping for my clothes. I went looking for stuff the other night and I couldn't figure out which side of Walmart to go on the Women's size has mostly larger sizes and the middle is full of clothes I wouldn't wear and the Juniors section where I HAVE no business being in LOL.
I will post different exercises as well as other things that I have done with how I liked it etc.
So keep tuned for more to come!
